Years Active: 1967–1976
Home: Freedom Hall — Louisville, KY
Titles: 1975 ABA champions

The Kentucky Colonels played all nine seasons of the ABA from 1967 to 1976 at Freedom Hall in Louisville. Along with the Indiana franchise, they were the only ABA team to stay in the same city for the league's entire run. The Colonels captured the 1975 ABA championship by defeating the Indiana Pacers 4–1 in the Finals.

Coached by Hall of Famer Hubie Brown during the championship years, the Colonels' roster was anchored by Dan Issel, 7-foot-2 center Artis Gilmore (1972 ABA Rookie of the Year and 1972 MVP), and longtime point guard Louie Dampier. Despite consistent winning, the Colonels were not invited to merge into the senior league after 1976 and folded — owner John Y. Brown took the buyout and used the funds to purchase the Buffalo Braves.
