Episode 5: Black Ball & 1970's Player Revolts w/Dr. Theresa Runstedtler

Dr. Theresa Runstedtler, the author of the new book titled Black Ball, joins the podcast to discuss countering the narrative of the 1970's being filled with drugs and violence by sharing the player revolts that took place during this period. Connie Hawkins (who fought to play in the NBA after the unfair NCAA ban due to a gambling scandal), Spencer Haywood (ushered in players being drafted out of high school), and Oscar Robertson's NBPA lawsuit (free agency, medical benefits & pensions) are discussed.
