If my memory serves he was drafted in 69, and played first year in
1970, and were elimenated in the playoffs by the Knicks, and the Knick
fans sang, "nah nah good goodbye lou" dissing his whole muslim thing,
and used the name he bore when he hung around Washington Heights (the
white harlem) the same neighborhood George Carlin is from.
