“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.
Bob is more than just a four-time ABA All-Star and Indiana Pacers icon. He’s a co-founder of Dropping Dimes, a foundation fighting to secure justice and support for the pioneers of the ABA—players who changed the game but were left behind when the NBA merged.
We talk hoops, history, and heartbreak... plus:
Why these forgotten legends still haven’t been properly recognized
How Dropping Dimes Foundation is stepping up
What it was really like in the ABA
Bob’s own fight for the players who built the modern game
He’s also featured in The Waiting Game, the indie documentary shaking up the basketball world with its honest look at the ABA/NBA merger and the injustice that followed.
