Byron Beck (born January 25, 1945) is an American former professional basketball player. A 6 foot 9 inch forward/center from the University of Denver, Beck was one of six players (along with Louie Dampier, Gerald Govan, Bob Netolicky, Stew Johnson, and Freddie Lewis) who participated in all nine seasons (1967–1976) of the original American Basketball Association (ABA). Beck and Dampier would also be the only two players who would stay with the franchise that originally drafted them throughout the entire existence of the ABA before the ABA–NBA merger occurred, with Bech being the only player to stay with the team in question following the completed merger into the NBA. He played for the Denver Rockets, who later became the Denver Nuggets. Read more on Wikipedia
