1966–67 Cincinnati Royals Season
The 1966–67 season was the Royals 22nd overall, and their tenth in Cincinnati. The season opened in the glare of their disappointing loss to Boston in the previous season's playoffs. It was considered a rebuilding season with some key roster changes. Long-time stars Jack Twyman and Wayne Embry had both retired, both unhappy with their roles on the team the previous year. Tom Hawkins had rejoined the contending Los Angeles Lakers. Local college star Conrad 'Connie' Dierking was promoted to starting center, with promising rookie Walt Wesley his backup. First Team All-Pros Jerry Lucas and Oscar Robertson were again the focus of the team. Happy Hairston and Bobby Love saw minutes at forward next to Lucas, while Adrian Smith and Flynn Robinson saw minutes at guard next to Robertson. Clearly rebuilding, the Royals had little hope of matching rivals Boston and Philadelphia this season, as they had a season ago. The team finished third in the NBA's Eastern Division.

In some cases, these halls of fame consist of actual halls or museums that enshrine the honorees with sculptures, plaques, and displays of memorabilia and general information regarding the inducted recipients. Sometimes, the honorees' plaques may instead be posted on a wall (hence a "wall of fame") or inscribed on a sidewalk (as in a "walk of fame", "walk of stars", or "avenue of fame").

Plagued by injuries and inexperience -- superstars Elgin Baylor and Jerry West sat out 26 games between them -- the Lakers got off to a forgettable 3–10 start en route to a 36–45 record, their worst on the West Coast. In the playoffs, they were swept by the upstart San Francisco Warriors in three games in the Western Division semifinals. The otherwise disappointing season wasn't without this positive development: Jerry Chambers and Archie Clark made regular contributions in their pro debuts. Clark finished third in the Rookie of the Year vote.

The following year, the color combination was changed to purple and gold with "Lakers" on the front of bot ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
