What a spectacular book. All done. ABA into NBA. Moses and Dr. J impact, opposites attracting, 76ers finally winning it and so much more. Hoops and culture and everything in-between. Wonderful job, @LukeEpplin, and thanks for coming on the MLSP. 🏀🏀🏀




March 18, 1969: Suns GM Jerry Colangelo and head coach Johnny Kerr listen via conference call as the Bucks win the coin toss for the NBA's first overall draft pick in '69. Phoenix called heads and Milwaukee went on to select Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) with the #1 pick.

Robert Parish was asked who would win between the 2024 Celtics and the 1986 Celtics. His answer was the ‘86 Celtics because nobody had an answer for Bill Walton. “The NBA didn’t have an answer for Bill Walton. That’s why we were successful and that’s why we are considered one of the all-time best teams.”

Woah… part of @RandPaul’s opening statement for @SenMullin’s nomination hearing to be Homeland Security Secretary: “And while you’re at it explain to the American public why they should trust a man with anger issues.”
