Columbus Comets Basketball 1964 T-Shirt

The Columbus Comets were a minor league pro basketball team out of Columbus, Ohio that played two seasons in the Midwestern-based North American Basketball League (1964-1968). The Comets featured top stars, including Gary Bradds. Bradds was a two-time All-America center and College Player of the Year for 1964. The Baltimore Bullets made Bradds the #3 overall selection in the 1964 draft, but he spent much of the mid-60’s bouncing around the NABL, which had bus league stops in Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. The Comets sold Bradds’ contract to the Oakland Oaks of the new American Basketball Association in 1967, playing several seasons in the ABA. The Comets played a short scheduled of just 21 games in 1966-67 and 18 games in 1967-68.
