I remember Chuck Connors as Lucas McCain (The Rifleman) back in the '50s, when there were a lot of horse operas on TV. All of us boys wanted to get a toy rifle like his and learn to spin it like he did. I heard Connors had played a bit of 1st base for the Cubs - didn't know he also played in the NBA. I believe Robin Roberts (a pitcher for the Phillies back in the 50s) also played NBA basketball.
