Episode 8: The Upset of a Lifetime

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600653/fan_mail/new] Connie Hawkins’s six-million-dollar lawsuit comes down to a single, high-stakes deposition. New York’s white-shoe lawyers — including a young David Stern — represent the NBA, putting the screws to Connie to see if he’ll break under pressure like he did eight years earlier. Then, we switch gears to follow Jack Molinas as he faces off against Manhattan District Attorney Frank Hogan. Jack desperately tries to fix his trial just like he fixed so many basketball games, but will his luck finally run out?

Episode 7: National Bad-looks Association

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600653/fan_mail/new] We start the episode by going back in time to 1961 to uncover what happened to Connie Hawkins during that hellish two-week NYPD investigation. We then jump forward to 1968: Journalist Dave Wolf exposes the NBA's hypocrisy, and a brilliant legal team — David and Roslyn Litman — files a massive antitrust lawsuit to clear Connie's name. But just as justice seems within reach, something happens to Connie that makes him wonder if the lawsuit will even matter.

Episode 6: A Superstar in Clown Shoes

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2600653/fan_mail/new] With the ABL collapsed and the NBA's doors slammed shut, Connie Hawkins is forced to play the fool for the Harlem Globetrotters just to feed his family. Meanwhile, with the help of David and Roslyn Litman, Connie prepares to take the NBA to court over their decision to blackball him. This all comes to a head when a new rival league forms: the ABA. Connie wants in, but will the league let him play? And if they do, can he recapture his A-game after clowning with the Globetrotters?
