Any Old Timers remember when New Orleans had a championship-quality basketball team (1968)?

The Bucs were before my time, but some of my earliest memories as a very little kid are of attending New Orleans Jazz games in the Dome... they had Pistol Pete (though i’ve only read that, and don’t actually remember him playing).. what i do remember very clearly, as i’m sure a lot of other old-timers here can attest to, was that anytime the Jazz scored over 100 points, it entitled anyone in attendance to get free French fries at any Burger King in the NOLA metro area, by showing your ticket stub.. so way before Who Dat was ever a thing, the crowd was chanting ‘Free Fries!’ in unison.

I don’t think the Jazz were ever very good though , so i was surprised to learn that the Bucs almost won an actual (non-NBA) title... News to me.
