A 6'9" power forward/center, he played professionally in the American Basketball Association (ABA) from 1967 to 1976. Netolicky was an All-American selection at Drake University in the 1960s before being drafted by the National Basketball Association's (NBA) San Diego Rockets in 1967. However, he never played for the Rockets, joining the ABA's Indiana Pacers instead. A four-time ABA All-Star and two-time ABA Champion, Netolicky was a well-rounded player who could rebound, defend, and shoot the ball equally well. One interesting tidbit about Netolicky is that he is one of the few (if not the only) professional basketball players to play for both teams in the same game. On November 14, 1973, Netolicky was playing for the San Antonio Spurs when they lost at home to the Indiana Pacers on a last-second shot. The Spurs protested the loss, and the ABA Commissioner ruled for San Antonio. The Pacers' last-second basket was disallowed, and the remaining 30 seconds of the game (which was the portion that San Antonio had protested) was ordered replayed immediately before the next Pacers-at-Spurs game, on December 2, 1973. By that time, however, Netolicky had been traded ... to Indiana. Netolicky played the final 30 seconds of regulation for the Pacers, plus the subsequent overtime. On the inside back left tail is the "Rawlings" manufacturers size 44 tag. Attached is an additional tag which reads “XL.” Next to these is an additional wash instructions tag. Across the front is “INDIANA." Below that and on back is the player number "24." Across the back is the player name “NETOLICKY.” All lettering and numbering is done in yellow tackle twill.
