	MDO - Hall of famers reflect on bygone era - 05/14/1998
		Kundla, Mikkelsen and the Lakers flourished in the days of the two-handed set shot, the under-handed free throw and finesse -- before the 24-second shot clock, the three-pointer and 300-pound centers came to dominate the game.
		Kundla was among the first coaches to design plays, a strategy that earned the Lakers' coach some ridicule around the league.
		Kundla retired from the Lakers in 1959, a season before they headed west, and returned to the University, where he spent nine seasons as the men's basketball coach.

		Kundla led professional basketball's first dynasty, the Minneapolis Lakers, who dominated the NBA during its formative years with a deadly combination of size and precision.
		In George Mikan, Kundla boasted the league's first dominant big man - so dominant, in fact, he forced the NBA to widen the lane, outlaw goaltending and implement the 24-second clock to prevent teams from stalling and keeping the ball out of his hands.
		Making Kundla's teams especially compelling was the presence of a bitter and capable rival - the Rochester Royals, who followed the Lakers from the National Basketball League to the Basketball Association of America, and finally to the fledgling NBA in 1949-50.

		Born July 3, 1916 in Star Junction, Pa., Kundla was a competitive college player at Minnesota, where he averaged 10.7 points per game as a senior in 1938-39.
		Kundla then turned his attention to younger (and smaller) men, taking the men's coaching job at the University of Minnesota, where he posted a 101-105 record from 1959-1968.
		Kundla's legacy lies in today's NBA, in his recognition of basketball as a big man's game, and his willingness to ride his big man's broad shoulders as far as they would take him.
