16: Buffalo Braves-NBA

October 31, 2017

In 1970, the Buffalo Braves made their NBA debut. A most colorful team, the Braves called Buffalo home for eight years, made three playoff appearances, had three players win Rookie of the Year, but struggled at the gate. So, after the 1977-78 season, they left for San Diego and then moved on to Los Angeles where they now call themselves the Clippers. Tim Wendel, author of “Buffalo, Home of the Braves”, joins the podcast for a wonderful conversation about a team and its long-lasting legacy.
