Why is "1970 ABA draft" trending?

Wikipedia Overview

The 1970 ABA draft was the fourth draft done by the American Basketball Association (ABA), a rivaling professional basketball league to the National Basketball Association (NBA) that they would eventually merge with as a part of the NBA later in the decade. This draft would begin at the earliest time the ABA would ever begin a draft yet on January 22, 1970 out in Indianapolis for the first eight rounds, with the league concluding its final rounds afterward on March 15 that year out in their new headquarters in New York. This draft also marked the first time that the ABA would successfully steal away some highly talented collegiate players from the NBA by having Dan Issel from the University of Kentucky, Charlie Scott from the University of North Carolina, and Rick Mount from Purdue University sign up with the ABA early through the Kentucky Colonels, Virginia Squires, and Indiana Pacers respectively over their respective late NBA draft choices by the Detroit Pistons, Boston Celtics, and Los Angeles Lakers. While Mount would disappoint in his professional career by comparison to his high school and collegiate careers, both Issel and Scott would become Hall of Famers that gained their professional starts in the ABA before later playing in the NBA. The Denver Rockets would also gain another successful sophomore underclassman after this year's draft concluded after previously being successful last year with Spencer Haywood by signing Ralph Simpson to their team on the month of June 1970, marking the second year in a row where the ABA would acquire another successful underclassman from outside of the draft systems of both the ABA and NBA. Despite the new successes at hand, the ABA would see a high number of teams either relocate and/or otherwise rebrand themselves following the draft's conclusion, with some teams trying to prepare themselves for an anticipated ABA-NBA merger in advance by this point in time. As such, it became the final draft years that the Los Angeles Stars, Miami Floridians, New Orleans Buccaneers, and Pittsburgh Pipers would participate in the ABA draft entirely, as well as the only draft year that the Washington Caps would participate in while working under that team name.
