@CincyPJolene It’s a legacy passed down from generation to generation.
English

Well now, here's a chapter of my life some folks may not know about. I helped start the ABA, the American Basketball Association, and I was the only entertainer involved. I owned the Oakland Oaks, and by God's grace we won the championship our second year with the great Rick Barry. I was proud as could be.
But I'll tell you something else. When the ABA struggled, it nearly took me down with it. I was funding the team myself after my partner went bankrupt. We won a championship, and then I was staring at financial ruin. And then, almost miraculously, a gentleman flew in from Washington, D.C., walked into the Bank of America, and bought the team. That moment changed everything for me.
Now Amazon has released a new docuseries, "Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association," telling the story of the rise and fall of the ABA and how it eventually merged with the NBA. It was the wild, colorful beginning of something that reshaped professional basketball forever.
I'm grateful I got to be part of that history. It was risky, exhilarating, and yes, miraculous too.

@adamwren @TriciaOhio @dlippman The latest in a long line who have left Noem since she was first in elective office. Get in line.

@RossDellenger @YahooSports Whatever. I went to Ohio University and follow the MAC fairly close, but full tilt.

The MAC’s deal with Sacramento State - now officially announced - is a 5-year agreement in which the school will take no conference distribution, cover air travel costs of visiting MAC teams and pay $6 million of the $18 million entry fee in Year 1, sources tell @YahooSports.

@michaelpfreeman News from South Dakota is they like the cornfield.

We're living in the episode of the Twilight Zone in which everyone is afraid to anger the psychotic child who might wish them into the cornfield.
