JOHN KUNDLA

John Kundla was a basketball pioneer.  He coached the NBA's first dynasty, the Minneapolis Lakers, to five championships in his first six seasons.  After the Lakers moved to Los Angeles, he remained in Minnesota to coach his alma mater Golden Gophers for nine seasons.  Mr. Kundla was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1995.  Now 97 years old, he still calls Minneapolis home.

  1. Hi Daniel, I love this Kundla card. If you've got an extra copy (non-autographed is fine) I'd be happy to trade you something for it. David
