Timeline

1902

Nicholas J. "Nat" Hickey (born Nicola Zarnecić; January 30, 1902 – September 16, 1979) was a Croatian-American professional basketball coach/player and baseball player.

1920

As a 5'11" guard/forward, Hickey played from the 1920s through 1940s with multiple early professional teams, including the Hoboken St. Joseph's, Eddie Holly's Majors, New York Crescents, Cleveland Rosenblums, the Chicago Bruins, Boston Trojans, Original Celtics of the American Basketball League and the Pittsburgh Raiders, Indianapolis Kautskys, and Tri-Cities Blackhawks of the National Basketball League.

1938

Notably, he was baseball Hall of Famer Stan Musial's first minor league manager with the Williamson Colts in 1938.

1942

He turned to coaching basketball after his retirement from playing full-time in 1942 but occasionally activated himself as a player for the teams he was coaching.

1947

In the second year after the formation of the Basketball Association of America (the forerunner to the NBA), Hickey served 29 games as head coach of the Providence Steamrollers during the 1947–48 season.

Hickey's team posted a 4–25 record during his tenure.

1948

In 1948, at the age of 45, Hickey played two games with the Providence Steamrollers of the Basketball Association of America (BAA) while serving as the team's head coach, making him the oldest player in NBA history, a mark he still holds today.

Hickey was born Nicola Zarnecić on the Croatian island of Korčula (then Kingdom of Dalmatia, Austro-Hungary).

He attended Hoboken High School in Hoboken, New Jersey.

He activated himself as a player on January 27, 1948, three days before his 46th birthday, and appeared in two games.

He attempted six field goals – making none – and committed five personal fouls.

He scored two points off of foul shots.

All of the shots occurred in his debut game as a player against the St. Louis Bombers.

While he also played a day later against the New York Knickerbockers, he did not record anything in that game.

As a result of these games, Hickey still holds the record for the oldest player in NBA history at 45 years and 363 days.

1950

Hickey became the coach of the Johnstown Clippers of the All-American Basketball League during the 1950–51 season.

1951

On January 11, 1951, Hickey was driving the team back to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after a game in Wheeling, West Virginia, when he lost control of his car on the Lincoln Highway and crashed.

Clippers player George "Chuck" Karmarkovich, a 24-year-old who was considered the team's biggest star, was ejected from the car and killed.

The Clippers were disbanded the following day and Hickey did not return to coaching.

Hickey was found to not be responsible for Karmarkovich's death.

Aside from basketball, Hickey enjoyed a lengthy career in baseball, playing 15 minor league seasons and managing two.

Hickey managed and played several seasons of minor league baseball as an outfielder.
