HOFer “Sweet Lou” could funnel in points from all over the floor, but no shot was more beautiful to watch than his effortless 15-foot jumper. In 13 NBA seasons, the six-time NBA All-Star averaged over 20 points per game for his career. Even as a rookie, Hudson was the designated closer on a St. Louis Hawks team that featured Lenny Wilkens, Zelmo Beaty, Bill Bridges, Paul Silas, and Rod Thorn. On November 10, 1969, in a game against the defensive-minded Jerry Sloan/Bob Love/Chet Walker Chicago Bulls, Hudson put up 57 points to set a franchise record for the Hawks. Inside the back left tail is a wash tag in which the left side has become undone and the manufacturer label is no longer present. ‘ATLANTA’ across the chest, player number (23) below that and on the back and player name (HUDSON) below the player number on back - all done in blue tackle twill. This jersey is properly tagged (sans manuf label), presented to us as game-used and in our opinion shows appropriate wear, with minor staining on the back. Very easy on the eyes.
