Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox basketball biography Donald Jay Ohl (born April 18, 1936) is an American former basketball player who played college ball at the University of Illinois then spent 10 seasons (1960–1970) in the National Basketball Association (NBA), where he played in five consecutive All-Star Games. He went by the nickname of Waxie because of his trademark crew cut.

College career

Ohl attended Edwardsville High School in Edwardsville, Illinois before he moved on to the University of Illinois. In 66 games over three seasons with the Illini, the guard averaged 14.0 points, including 19.6 as a senior.

Professional career

Ohl played for the Detroit Pistons, Baltimore Bullets, and St.Louis/Atlanta Hawks. Among the most lethal off-the-dribble and pull-up jump shooters of his era, the crafty 6'3", 190-pounder scored 11,549 points and appeared in five consecutive NBA All-Star Games (1963-67) in his career.

Shortly after the 1963–64 campaign, Ohl was involved one of the first so-called megatrades, this one an eight-player deal between the Pistons and Bullets. On June 9, 1964, the Pistons sent Ohl, center Bob Ferry, forward Bailey Howell, forward Les Hunter and the draft rights to guard Wally (later Wali) Jones to the Bullets in exchange for forwards Terry Dischinger and Don Kojis and guard Rod Thorn. The deal turned out to a fortuitous one for the Bullets, as Howell and Ohl became mainstays with the team.

Ohl twice scored a career high of 43 points in a single game, first on January 23, 1963 in a 123–119 defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers and again on December 25, 1966 in a 129–127 loss to his former team, the Pistons.

Ohl experienced his finest hour in the 1965 playoffs, which saw the Bullets eliminate the St. Louis Hawks in four games in round one. In the Western Division finals, Ohl and future Hall of Fame guard Jerry West were locked in a tense shootout that saw West and the Los Angeles Lakers finally prevail in six games, each of which was decided by eights points or less. Ohl averaged 26.1 points in 10 games that post-season, including 28.8 points along with 5.7 rebounds in the division finals.

In 1968, Ohl was traded to the Hawks for Tom Workman and a third round pick. Two years later, he was taken in the 1970 NBA Expansion draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers but opted for retirement at 34 years of age.
