ABA adds alternates

February 8, 2006 - American Basketball Association (ABA) News Release


Indianapolis, IN -- The American Basketball Association (ABA) today named two alternates to the ABA All Star teams.

According to Joe Newman, "There are so many great players in the ABA deserving of recognition. Putting these teams together has been very difficult because the talent is exceptional. However, we felt that adding Bryant Lewandowski (6'2''-G-80, college: Slippery Rock) of the Ohio Aviators was right in that he is averaging 27 points per game, 6 assists and 5 rebounds. In addition, Maryland Nighthawks Randy "White Chocolate" Gill is returning from overseas - and he is definitely an incredible player and a major drawing card. Randy Gill (6'2''-G-78, agency: SBA Sport Mngm, college: Bowie St.) had been involved in a purposed trade for disgruntled NBA star Ron Artest earlier in the year. If one or two players are unable to compete for any reason, look for Bryant and Randy to suit up - and they will probably compete in the 3-pt shootout too."

East Alternates: Randy Gill (6'2''-G-78, agency: SBA Sport Mngm, college: Bowie St.), 6'1" point guard Maryland Nighthawks; Bryant Lewandowski (6'2''-G-80, college: Slippery Rock), 6'5" guard from Ohio Aviators.
