My Take
Artis Gilmore is the kind of dominant big man whose name I wish more casual fans knew. At 218 cm out of Chipley, Florida, by way of Jacksonville University, he tore through both the ABA and NBA and earned his place in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011. What I appreciate about Hall of Famers who spanned both leagues is that their careers double as a history lesson in how pro basketball merged and evolved. A player that tall and that productive across two eras tends to get underrated by people who only watch modern highlights, and Gilmore deserves better than that.
