Louie lives about 5 minutes away from me. He’s the sweetest guy. His wife Judy is such a lovely woman too. A few years ago he let us have his tickets to a UK game. Pretty good seats too
I went to high school with his kids…

 

[BC_Wader]

Dampier used to golf with my Uncle years ago. Got me an autograph.

What’s your address ma’am?

 

[littlecreek]

Oldham

My bad, for some reason I thought you lived near Campbellsville.

 

[BC_Wader]

Oldham

Explains it. He used to golf at the now Eagle Creek Golf course in Lagrange with my Uncle. He and my Aunt used to live on the course. It may've been a different name back then as that was in the 90's. Had a lot of great times fishing the quarry and the course lake.

Dampier was a stud, one of my Dad’s favorites.

 

[Catapult]

Louie was the best shooter we ever had IMHO.

 

[drew_ukfan]

Isn’t Dampier the all time leading scorer in ABA history?

2 of the best guys ever, and proud to say, 2 very good friends. Louie is the most humble superstar ever.

Louie really should be in the pro Hall of Fame. I know he only played in the ABA but he wasn't just a star in that league; he was one of the top stars.

He actually played in the NBA for a few years with the Spurs after the merger.

Let's just say....if the 3 point line had existed in Dampier's.....🎯👑

Louie was my first basketball hero. Between UK and the Colonels he was the best.

I don't remember Dampier when he played at UK but I do remember him when he played for my 2nd most favorite team ever, The Kentucky Colonels. One of the greatest shooters ever. DAMPIER IS IN THE PRO BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME

Jerry Hale was a role player on my favorite UK team ever, the 1974-75 team that lost to UCLA in the national championship game.

Biggest news in this thread?

We practice at RUPP

 

[TeoJ]

Jerry Hale played on the Floyd Central Indiana high school team that went to final four,they made a lot of late game come backs to do it. They were way behind in the final four about 20. And made a big come back to almost win it. The other team had a star that went to UCLA Tgouovich and a player that went to UL can't remember name.
Louie was also a Hoosier from Southport in Indy,both were Indiana all stars.

So you know Danielle? I went to UK with her, we were both in the high school math teacher program. Do you know where she is now and what she’s doing?

 

[FtWorthCat]

I have an autographed photo of Louie Dampier on my wall right now. I'm not old enough to remember him at UK, but I saw him play in the ABA/NBA. Travis Perry's ceiling is Louie Dampier.

One of the best shooters in all basketball.

Didn't Louie lead the league in 3 pt percentage?

Hale was the back-up to the two starters, Jimmy Dan Conner and Mike Flynn. This team was one of my favorites. Knocked off #1 ranked, undefeated indiana in the final of the then called Mideast regional to go to the FF. Lost to ucla in the championship after they should have lost to the cards. Would have been an all Kentucky final game.
