Mosaic Minds Podcast

Description/Show Notes:
NBA Hall of Famer Rick Barry joins Mosaic Minds for a powerful conversation that goes far beyond basketball.

In this special re-release, we revisit our interview with one of the most outspoken and iconic figures in hoops history—now newly appointed to the board of the Dropping Dimes Foundation.

Rick opens up about:

“They gave everything to the game… and were forgotten.”

We’re re-releasing this powerful interview with ABA legend Bob Netolicky—because honestly, it didn’t get the love it deserved the first time. And with everything we’ve been doing to support the Dropping Dimes Foundation and the new documentary The Waiting Game, it’s the perfect time to spotlight Bob’s voice again.

He owns 310 tracks. He’s studied under legends. And he plays like he was born with the guitar in his hands.
Jonathan Taylor is a world-touring classical guitarist with over 30 albums and a legacy that’s shockingly under the radar. He’s performed alongside greats like Pavarotti, studied under maestros like Pepe Romero and Frederick Noad, and owns every note he’s ever released—a level of independence most artists only dream of.

They changed the game. The three-point shot, the slam dunk contest, the fast, high-energy style of play—that all came from the ABA. But when the NBA and ABA merged, the players who helped build modern basketball were left with nothing.

In this episode of Mosaic Minds Podcast, Michael Husain, the writer and director of The Waiting Game, joins us to talk about the injustice faced by former ABA players and how his documentary...
