On today's TrueHoop Podcast Henry Abbott and Jarod Hector are joined by Dr. Theresa Runstedtler, author of the forthcoming book Black Ball: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Spencer Haywood, and the Generation that Saved the Soul of the NBA. 

Listen by searching the word TrueHoop wherever you listen to podcasts, and please rate and leave us a review!

We discuss:

  • What led Theresa to write this book? You might be surprised!

  • Is the NBA a monopoly? Is the NCAA?

  • How did the policies and incidents that shaped America in the 1960s and 1970s shape NBA policies and vice versa?

  • What is at the heart of this battle to control Black bodies?

  • Are things importantly different and better for today’s players?
