He looked slow and was named “the Whopper” for his love for Burger King, but Billy Paultz had great hands and anticipation skills. Paultz averaged 2 steals per game in the ‘74-‘75 ABA season in spite of his towering 6’11’’ and 250 pound frame. Happy bday to the Whopper! 🙌

This was 10-year-old me’s guy. Next-level hook shot back in the day. My high school nickname was Whopper because I always leaned on the hook shot. #OldSkool
