32. Levern Tart
Levern Tart was drafted by the Boston Celtics in 1964 but he was unable to crack the roster and he toiled in semi-pro leagues until an opportunity arose with the Oakland Oaks of the American Basketball Association. Tart found a home in the ABA and he was named an All Star in 1969 and was traded nine days later to New Jersey. Tart did not receive as much playing time for the Nets and was traded midway through the next season to the Houston Mavericks but he was back again fir the 1969/70 season and he was New Jersey’s starting Shooting Guard and averaged 24.2 Points per Game and was named an All Star. He was traded the following year to the Texas Chapparals but was out of Basketball the following season.
