Common card · No. 475446

Jacob Louis Molinas (October 31, 1931 – August 3, 1975) was an American professional basketball player, playing first for Columbia University in New York City, and later briefly in the early National Basketball Association (NBA) with the Fort Wayne Pistons. He also played for multiple minor league teams after his brief NBA stint (mostly in Pennsylvania, although he would play in the summer leagues, sometimes with other players that had controversial pasts as well) during the 1950s and early 1960s. During that period of time, he supposedly became an associate of the Genovese crime family due to his association with a couple of people there, and he later became a key figure in one of the most wide-reaching point shaving cheating scandals in college basketball history.
