Titles: 1968 ABA champions — first ABA title ever awarded

The Pipers began play in Pittsburgh in 1967 as charter members of the ABA. They got off to a fast start as Connie Hawkins led them to the very first ABA Championship.

Despite winning the league title and posting solid attendance, the team moved to Minneapolis the following year as the Minnesota Pipers. With poor attendance in its only season in Minnesota, the Pipers moved back to Pittsburgh — but this time fan support waned as the city felt abandoned by the team. In 1970, the Pipers were renamed the Condors. In its short history, the Pipers featured two Hall of Fame coaches in Vern Mikkelsen and Buddy Jeannette. Notable Pipers included Connie Hawkins (Hall of Fame), John Brisker, George Thompson, and Mike Lewis.
