1967 NBA Draft
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1967 NBA Draft saw some of the best names in basketball amongst the top 19 picks, including current NBA coaches Pat Riley of the Miami Heat (2005-06 NBA Champions) and ten-time NBA Championship coach Phil Jackson (currently the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers). Jackson would go on to coach Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls to six NBA titles in the 1990s, then lead the Lakers to three straight titles from 2000 to 2002, while Riley went on to earn four of his five NBA crowns with the Lakers in the 1980s, then led the Heat to their first-ever title in 2006. This draft also featured Earl Monroe (Earl "The Pearl"), who would later win a championship with the New York Knicks.
Names in bold had been selected into All-NBA Team. Names with asterisk had been inducted into Hall of Fame as player.
