Ron Boone’s 10,000 Career Points Trophy: A Monumental Piece of Basketball History

A Testament to Scoring Prowess

In the annals of basketball history, few achievements stand as a testament to a player’s scoring prowess like reaching the 10,000-point milestone. Ron Boone, a legendary figure in the American Basketball Association (ABA), achieved this remarkable feat on December 1, 1974, while playing for the Utah Stars against the Memphis Tams. This extraordinary accomplishment is immortalized in a trophy that is as grand as the achievement itself.

The Trophy’s Magnificent Design

This towering trophy, standing nearly 44 inches tall and weighing a substantial 14 pounds, is a masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. At its pinnacle rests a game-used ABA Storen ball, a symbol of the countless hours Boone spent on the court. The ball, a “Rawlings RSS,” is stamped with “1973 MEMPHIS TAMS” on one of its white panels, adding a layer of historical significance to this already illustrious artifact.

The plaque on the lower base of the trophy reads: “Bill Daniels A.B.A. Presidents Trophy – 10,000 Career Points – Attained By RON BOONE – Utah Stars at Memphis – December 1, 1974.” Accompanied by a screen-printed photo of Boone in his Stars uniform, this trophy is not just a piece of memorabilia; it is a tribute to Boone’s enduring legacy in the ABA, where he ranks third all-time in career points with 12,153.
