Maurice McHartley is diabetic with kidney problems and now heart trouble. He said he isn't asking for a handout. He is asking for what he and the remaining 108 ABA players who didn't qualify for pensions under the NBA's contract when the two leagues merged, say they earned.
Many of 108 those former ABA players – the same ones who helped create the style of game that is today's multi-billion-dollar NBA – are struggling, worn out and desperate.
They are in their late 60s, 70s and 80s. Some are homeless, living under bridges. Some die alone with no money for a gravestone. Others can't even afford dentures or a new suit to go to church.
