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

i got those free fries all of twice
once was at a BK on Vets close to lakeview (ntnm)
i think the second one was downtown somewhere
it was something to watch Pistol play (in my memory I was there for the 68 pt game, but i'm not sure if that's legit or a 10yr old's active imagination)-
sorry we could never put a team around him

being in that dome with only about 3000 in attendance for a jazz game was kinda surreal

OK i am not that chronologically challenged
