Emmy Award-winning TV producer and ESPN 30 For 30 sports documentarian Dan Forer (Free Spirits; Mike and the Mad Dog) joins Tim Hanlon to discuss the curious two-year odyssey of the American Basketball Association's colorful Spirits of St. Louis franchise, whose impact still continues to haunt the modern-day NBA, forty years after the team's demise. Forer describes the importance of mercurial star forward Marvin "Bad News" Barnes to both the club's success and the making of the documentary; why Spirits brother-owners Dan and Ozzie Silna declined to participate in the making of the film; how a baby-faced kid out of Syracuse named Bob Costas got his first professional sportscasting gig; and how three of the team's most talented players effectively lost their careers to the evils of drug addiction.
