In 1969, Alcindor joined now defunct American Basketball Association’s Indiana Pacers for $1 million over five years but elected instead to join the NBA’s newly formed Milwaukee Bucks for $24 thousand over four years because bucks had Oscar Robertson whereas Pacers didn’t have any established star players at that time.
