Biography
| Mike Barrett went to college at West Virginia Tech but later played AAU ball while he was in the Navy. It was then that he played for the U.S. in the 1967 World’s Championship and won a gold medal as a member of the 1968 Olympic team. Barrett then played three years in the now-defunct ABA. A 6-2 (1.88) guard, he was perfectly suited to that league as his long suit was the ability to burn it up from outside. In 1969-70, with Washington, he had his best year in pro basketball as he averaged 15 points per game, which was aided by his 62 3-point goals. |
