Gene Littles

Eugene Scape Littles (born June 29, 1943, Washington, D.C.) played college basketball at High Point University, where he became the program's all-time leading scorer and a three-time NAIA All-American. Selected in the fifth round of the 1969 NBA draft by the New York Knicks and in the ABA draft by the Dallas Chaparrals, Littles chose the ABA. His rights were acquired by the Carolina Cougars, with whom he spent five seasons beginning in 1969, earning a spot on the All-Rookie Team in 1970. He closed his six-year ABA career with the Kentucky Colonels, winning the ABA championship in 1975.
