Did anyone stop and think, "What could be a good reason to list this persons
address???"

Just plain irresponsible.

If this individual didn't follow the ABA, or it's follies...He's gotten a rude introduction to it.

Odd that the winner came from a region with no ABA teams at all...

I have it somewhere in my head that a photo or a address has to be supplied when someone wins a contest like this. Normally, you see the addendum on the entry form that says something along the lines of "send a self addressed envelope if you want to know who the winner was".

I once emailed Joe and asked him who won that $50000.00 dollar free throw contest and he told me to troll through the archives of ABALive.

So in lieu of having to dig it up when some random guy asks you in 4 years Joe probably decided to do it now.

Apparently, the ABA doesn't have any intelligent writers or public relations people..

Well, Joe has said that he writes all the league releases, so I'll leave it at that...:p

Odd that the winner came from a region with no ABA teams at all...

Seeing as that is most of North America at this point (hey, except for Chicago, version 7.0!), not really odd at all... :-D
