Logo of the Houston Mavericks of the American Basketball Association, a charter member of the league who played in the ABA’s first 3 seasons, from 1967 until 1969. Houston Oilers owner Bud Adams was one of the Mavericks’ owners, and the team was competitive, led by Art Becker, Willie Somerset and DeWitt Menyard, but never drew well at the gate. They were moved to Carolina after the ’69 season and reborn as the Carolina Cougars. Their last home game in Houston was a victory over the New York Nets, before an announced crowd of 89 people. Ouch.
