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 is exposing the truth.
Many retired ABA legends are struggling—some are homeless, some can’t afford life-saving medicine, and they’ve been denied the pensions and recognition they deserve. This documentary, The Waiting Game, shines a light on their battle and the efforts of the Dropping Dimes Foundation to get them the help they need.
Nick and Jason attended a screening of The Waiting Game at Newfields and were blown away by its impact. Now, we sit down with Michael to discuss the fight for justice, the NBA’s response, and how this film could rewrite basketball history.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
