One of the things about basketball - well, sports in general really - is that there is always someone new coming along and as a result, you forget some of the older guys.
So it is with Nate “Tiny” Archibald.
A native of the South Bronx, Archibald was not terribly interested in school and nearly dropped out. But some older mentors realized that he had talent and eventually, Archibald got his grades up and went to a JUCO. After that, he transferred to Texas Western, arriving the year after the Miners shocked Kentucky in the historic 1966 NCAA title game and had a terrific three-year career there.
