Clarence 'Kleggie' Hermsen, 6ft 9inch Center Cleveland Rebels - a standout center at the University of Minnesota, Kleggie Hermsen played in the National Basketball League (NBL) prior to serving in the military during World War II. After the War in 1946 he signed with Cleveland Rebels and after 12 games was traded to the Toronto Hustlers in a three-team deal involving center Connie Simmons, Dick Schulz, Chuck Reiser, and Grady Lewis. It was a known fact among opposing players that the 6-ft 9 inch, 225-pound Clarence Hermsen knew how to position himself and was aggressive enough to get his fair share of rebounds.
