The summary of this installment of "30 for 30" makes it sound as if the entire episode is about four of the ABA's teams moving to the NBA in the 1970s. Well, this is about the very end of the episode but otherwise, the film is NOT about this at all but about the St. Louis Spirit--one of the most obnoxious and inconsistent teams of the ABA. Why was it such a mess AND so successful? See this film and learn about the personalities and the problems that prevented the team from joining the NBA as well as the sweetheart deal that made the team's owners mega-rich.
Anything about the ABA is going to be interesting, as the ABA was just a weird, nutty experiment that you cannot help but admire despite its many shortcomings. Additionally, "30 for 30" is just a terrific series. Well worth seeing.
