The Amigos signed a mixture of players: some had pro basketball experience, others had played some AAU ball, and still others were fresh out of college.
Congdon remembers that Anaheim was such a cheap operation that Amigos players were expected to furnish their own playing gear.
The AnaheimAmigos was an American Basketball Association (ABA) team based in Anaheim, California, USA.
The team began play in the fall of 1967, in the Anaheim Convention Center.
The AnaheimAmigos became the Los Angeles Stars in 1968 and played at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena until 1970, at which point the team moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, to become the Utah Stars.
