label: Description
content: Roger "Rajah" Brown was banned from the NCAA and NBA due to a tenuous association with a point-shaver. When the ABA was established in 1967 he signed with the new league's Indiana Pacers. As a Pacer, Brown won three ABA championships, was a four-time All-Star, and was named MVP of the 1970 playoffs. He was a unanimous selection to the All-Time ABA team in 1997, and had his jersey number retired by the Pacers in 1985, now an NBA franchise.
