Chico Vaughn

Charles "Chico" Vaughn Sr. was an American basketball player. As a 6 ft 2 in guard, he played five seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the St. Louis Hawks and Detroit Pistons, and three seasons in the American Basketball Association (ABA) with the Pittsburgh/Minnesota Pipers. Vaughn became a fulltime starter for the first time as a professional with the Pipers in the 1967–68 season. He averaged nearly 20 points per game, was selected to play in the 1968 ABA All-Star Game, and the Pipers were ABA champions in 1968. In his first two seasons with the Pipers, he was second in the ABA in three-point field goals attempted, made, and three-point field goals made per game. In a March 1969 game for the Minnesota Pipers, Vaughn set an ABA record by scoring 12 points in less than one minute; and later that season set a new record for three-point field goals made in a single playoff game.
