Logo of the American Basketball Association’s Los Angeles Stars, who played in the league from 1968 through 1970. The franchise entered the ABA as the Anaheim Amigos, but they weren’t successful on the court or at the box office, and made the short move to L.A. after one season. They were coached by long-time NBA coach Bill Sharman, and their roster included ABA legends Mack Calvin and Willie Wise, along with Wayne Hightower and Billy “The Hill” McGill. The team lasted only 2 years in Los Angeles, and a year after owner Jim Kirst declared “we are in L.A. to stay!”, relocated to Utah.
