Шаблон:Infobox basketball biography Robert Paul Kinney (September 16, 1920 – September 2, 1985) was an American professional basketball player in the Basketball Association of America (BAA), National Basketball Association (NBA) and National Professional Basketball League (NPBL).[1][2] Besides Bob, his nicknames included Hi-Pocket and Bat-em Bob.[1] Kinney, who attended high school in San Antonio, Texas, went to college at Rice University where he was a standout on the basketball team in 1940–41 and 1941–42.

During his career at Rice, Kinney, who was an imposing Шаблон:Height, Шаблон:Convert center and forward, was a two-time consensus All-American. He was a Second Team selection in 1941 and a First Team All-American in 1942. He joined the Fort Wayne Pistons of the National Basketball League (a precursor to the NBA) in 1945.[3] On January 30, 1949, he was sold by the Pistons to the Boston Celtics and finished out the year with them.[1] At the conclusion of the season, the BAA merged with some of the teams from the NBL to form the NBA. Kinney was retained for the Шаблон:Nbay season, which was the NBA's first, and therefore the Celtics' first in the league.[1] In 60 games that year, Kinney scored 667 points (11.1 ppg).[1] Kinney's NBA career ended after that season, but he played for the Anderson Packers of the NPBL in 1950–51.[2] In 23 games, he averaged 12.4 points.[2] On November 19, 1950, he tied a Packers franchise record with 28 points in a 73–81 loss to the Louisville Alumnites.[4]
