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.
