About Warren Jabali

Warren Jabali was an American basketball player. He played professionally in the American Basketball Association (ABA) from 1968 to 1975. During his first campaign with the Rockets, Jabali's 16-point effort in the 1973 ABA All-Star Game keyed the West's come-from-behind victory and earned him Most Valuable Player honors. In his first season in the ABA, Armstrong won Rookie of the Year honors, prompting teammate Rick Barry to comment, "No doubt he's one of the best guards I've ever played with—or against".
