Max Zaslofsky
1948 Bowman
Max “Slats” Zaslofsky (December 7, 1925 - October 15, 1985) was the youngest player, at 21, to be named to the All-NBA First Team in the 1946-47 season until LeBron James (21) topped him by a few weeks following the 2005-06 season. Zaslofsky played for the Chicago Stags (1946-1950), New York Knicks (1950-1953), Baltimore Bullets (1953-54), Milwaukee Hawks (1953-54) and Fort Wayne Pistons (1953-1956). Max led the BAA in points (1,007) and field goals (373) in 1947-48 with the Chicago Stags and made his second of four appearances on the All-NBA First Teams. Max Zaslofsky retired after the 1955-56 season with 7,990 career points, 2,854 field goals, 2,282 free throws and 1,093 assists. At his retirement, Zaslofsky stood behind only Hall of Famers George Mikan and Joe Fulks in all-time points scored. Following his playing days, Max spent two seasons as the coach of the upstart American Basketball Association’s New Jersey Americans/Nets compiling a record of 53-103 in 156 games.
