In this week’s episode, we stay in the ABA as the upstart league lures top players like Dr. J, Moses Malone, and Spencer Haywood in an attempt to secure a national TV contract. Hannah recounts a story her father told her about the ABA’s top-secret pursuit of Lew Alcindor, dubbed ‘Operation Kingfish,’ and reflects on the lasting legacy of the ABA, including the hardship rule, three-point shot, and wide-open style of play. Plus, everything to know about the 1976 NBA-ABA merger. Guests include Dr. J, Bob Costas, Peter Vecsey, and Semi-Pro screenwriter Scot Armstrong.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
