One sportswriter called him the "Broadway Joe Namath of the ABA", since he had become a veritable sex symbol to many of Indiana's female fans [2]. Besides the Pacers, Netolicky briefly played for the Dallas Chaparrals and San Antonio Spurs, and he retired in 1976 with 9,876 career points and 5,518 career rebounds.
