This archive preserves NBA players and their uniform numbers for
each season of the 1960s. The decade was one of the most important
periods of change in league history, beginning with eight teams in
1960-61 and ending with 14 teams in 1969-70.
The decade included franchise relocations, expansion and the
arrival of several new NBA markets. The Minneapolis Lakers became
the Los Angeles Lakers, the Philadelphia Warriors moved to San
Francisco, the Syracuse Nationals became the Philadelphia 76ers,
the Chicago Packers became the Chicago Zephyrs and later moved to
Baltimore, and the St. Louis Hawks moved to Atlanta.
The original archive also records the uniform numbers worn by NBA
referees and officials. Those listings have been retained below
with their respective seasons.
Numbers in parentheses are alternate uniform numbers contained in
the original archive. "n/a" indicates that no uniform number is
listed.

The NBA During the 1960s
The 1960s roster archive captures a decade in which the NBA
changed dramatically. The 1960-61 season featured only eight
teams, while expansion and relocation increased the league to
14 teams by 1969-70.
The decade began with the Boston Celtics in the middle of their
historic championship run and featured many of the defining
players of early NBA history, including Bill Russell, Wilt
Chamberlain, Bob Cousy, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor,
Bob Pettit, Jerry Lucas, Hal Greer and John Havlicek.
By the end of the decade, a new generation was also emerging.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar appeared with the Milwaukee Bucks in 1969-70,
Walt Frazier and Willis Reed helped build the championship-era
New York Knicks, Earl Monroe starred for Baltimore, Dave Bing
led Detroit and Elvin Hayes had begun his career with the
San Diego Rockets.
Expansion and Franchise Changes
The roster lists also document the NBA's changing geography.
The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles for the 1960-61
season. The Philadelphia Warriors relocated to San Francisco
in 1962, while the Syracuse Nationals moved to Philadelphia
and became the 76ers in 1963.
The Chicago Packers entered the league in 1961, changed their
name to the Zephyrs in 1962 and moved to Baltimore in 1963.
Later expansion brought the Chicago Bulls, Seattle SuperSonics,
San Diego Rockets, Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns into the
NBA. The St. Louis Hawks also moved to Atlanta before the
1968-69 season.
Keeping each club under the name it actually used during that
season makes the roster archive useful for tracing franchise
history as well as individual player careers.
NBA Referee Uniform Numbers
The original NBAHoopsOnline archive includes another unusual
piece of historical information: the uniform numbers assigned
to NBA referees and officials during each season.
Those lists have been preserved alongside the player rosters.
They include prominent officials such as Mendy Rudolph, Norm
Drucker, Richie Powers, Earl Strom, John Vanak, Darell Garretson
and Jake O'Donnell, as well as many lesser-known officials from
the era.
Because historical referee uniform-number information can be
difficult to locate, these listings remain part of the archive
rather than being removed during the page redesign.
Roster Corrections and Additions
NBAHoopsOnline continues to preserve historical NBA roster and
uniform-number information. If you know of a missing player,
incorrect number, alternate uniform number or correction to one
of the referee listings, please send the information along with
a reliable source when possible.
Send corrections and additions to:
Rednecksbasketball@yahoo.com
Historical roster and referee corrections will be reviewed before
changes are made to the NBAHoopsOnline archive.
