Jack Molinas was once one of basketball's brightest stars — a 6'6" Ivy League prodigy with movie-star charisma and a gambler's soul. From the playgrounds of New York City to an NBA All-Star, he was living live... until the bets caught up with him. Suspended for wagering on his own team, Molinas reinvented himself as a lawyer — only to become the criminal mastermind behind the 1961 college point-shaving scandal that rocked the sport. After prison, he resurfaced in Los Angeles chasing fame, fortune, and the wrong crowd. In 1975, his story ended like a Hollywood noir — gunned down outside his hillside home. In this episode, we detial the arc of a man who blurred the line between genius and corruption and brought down dozens of college athletes in the process.

Making Money Minute with Ron Hiebert - Making VS. Keeping Money Making big dollars and keeping the money you made are two very different skill sets. Professional athletes are often great earners but pathetic savers. Nearly four out of 5 retired NFL football players are bankrupt or under financial stress. In the National Basketball Association, 2 out of every three retired players are broke after 5 years. Earning huge amounts of money, tricks you into thinking that the windfall will never end, and there is no need to learn good savings and investment skills. Unfortunately for most, the dream has a sad ending.

Long before the National Basketball Association evolved into a global spectacle, it began as an awkwardly assembled mashup featuring a hefty dollop of relatively small-market teams in places like Sheboygan, Wisconsin; Anderson, Indiana and Moline, Illinois.  Among them were the Waterloo Hawks - the only team from Iowa ever to play in the NBA. Their story is synonymous with the fragile early days of pro hoops in the US - and it's vividly brought back to life by this week's guest, Tim Harwood - author of the essential "Ball Hawks: The Arrival and Departure of the NBA in Iowa." Tim and Tim retrace how the Hawks rose out of the old National Basketball League, a circuit of largely factory-backed and regional clubs scattered across the Rust Belt that provided much of the foundation for the modern professional game. In 1949, when the NBL merged with its big-city rival, the Basketball Association of America, the NBA was born - and Waterloo suddenly found itself playing against the decidedly more well-resourced likes of New York, Boston, and Chicago. The Hawks' lone NBA season was gritty, dramatic, and short-lived, ending with the league contracting and shedding smaller markets that didn't align with its "major-market" ambitions. Harwood explains how Waterloo tried to keep its place in the game through the short-lived National Professional Basketball League, and why the Hawks' disappearance after 1951 symbolized the end of the small-market era in pro basketball. What remains is a remarkable story of community pride, fleeting triumph, and the overlooked role towns like Waterloo played in shaping what the NBA would become.  PLUS: The legend of Waterloo's Murray "Wizard" Wier!  + + +    SUPPORT THE SHOW:  Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: https://www.teepublic.com/?ref_id=35106 BUY THE BOOK (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  "Ball Hawks: The Arrival and Departure of the NBA in Iowa": https://amzn.to/3JEuC9W BUY THE SHIRT (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!): Waterloo Hawks Basketball Team T-Shirt: https://is.gd/rjLn5X   SPONSOR THANKS (AND SUPPORT THE SHOW!):  Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/

On a pioneering task force, Bob Delaney went from New Jersey State Trooper to undercover in some of the biggest east coast Mob families. In this episode, Delaney spoke to Giovanni and Dutch about how he was recruited to work undercover, the innerworkings of how he infiltrated the Genovese and Bruno Crime Families and his transition to high-profile NBA referee. Tune in for an incredibly insightful and inspirational episode.   About Bob Delaney: Robert “Bob” Delaney rose to the top of two elite organizations — in law enforcement as a highly decorated Trooper with the New Jersey State Police and in the National Basketball Association as one of the most respected referees, having most recently served as NBA Vice President Director of Officials.

What happens when God asks you to make a move that looks like career suicide? Michael Wozniak, business leadership coach, author, and former global NBA executive, said "yes" and it changed everything.In this episode, we explore Michael's remarkable journey of obedience, risk, and faith. After a meteoric rise at Pepsi and completing graduate school, he felt called by God to pivot into international sports marketing by taking a job without pay and in a country where he didn't even speak the language. Mike's courage and trust led to a dream role with the NBA, leading the launch of its global expansion during the 1992 “Dream Team” Olympics in Japan.God later asked Mike to lay down his “Isaac” (his love for sports) and step into ministry. Through unexpected connections, he helped launch “Kid's Games,” a Bible-based global sports outreach now in over 140 countries.Today, Mike coaches leaders and teams, focusing on culture, communication, and self-awareness. Drawing on tools like the Five Voices of Leadership, he equips others to lead with humility and courage.This episode is a masterclass in what it means to trust God when the path makes no sense. Mike reminds us: “When ‘good and faithful servant' is your mantra, your path will not be linear. When you're walking in obedience, never trust your eyes, because it'll never look the way you think it should.”More about Mike:Michael Wozniak is a Business Leadership coach fighting for people's highest good unlocking leadership potential at every level. He believes strongly helping owners and leaders grow themselves, grow their people, and grow their business. A relational intelligence expert, his focus is on culture, communication, relationships, alignment, and execution driving performance and profit. Prior, Michael worked at the National Basketball Association around the 1992 Dream Team and launched the NBA in Japan. He also helped launch Kids Games, a global children & sports movement, scaling it to over 150 countries reaching millions of children annually. Michael has owned multiple businesses and currently owns a volleyball club along with his consulting agency. He is an author of the book “Employee Drift” sharing how to lead people purposefully in support, clarity & trust. Employee disengagement doesn't happen overnight. It's a gradual process, a drift, often caused by a lack of effective leadership. However, when employees feel valued, supported, and inspired, they show up differently. They stop working for you and start working with you. Michael and wife Beth have been married for 32 years and have four adult children, a daughter-in-law, and one granddaughter.

Joshua K. Wright, The NBA's Global Empire: How the League Became an International Powerhouse (McFarland, 2025)  During the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, the Dream Team, a collective of the National Basketball Association's top talent led by Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Charles Barkley, shook up the world as they amazed spectators and opponents on their way to winning gold. Their success introduced the world to the NBA's charismatic superstars and their artistic brand of basketball. Over the next two decades, youth outside of America dreamed of becoming the next Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James. The NBA took advantage of its popularity in China by forming lucrative television and streaming deals and opening training academies. By the 2022-23 NBA season, there were 109 international players from 39 countries, a Canadian franchise, and a league in Africa. Today's best players are Africans, Canadians and Europeans like Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama. This book presents the history of the NBA's ascension to a billion-dollar global empire, analyzing the globalization of American sports since the end of the Cold War and the dawn of the millennium. How essential is globalization for the NBA to thrive in the 21st century? Do the benefits outweigh the geopolitical controversies associated with being a global brand? Is globalization responsible for a decline in American-born NBA players and declining domestic popularity? These questions and others are answered in this first treatment of the NBA's global reach. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. His next book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet, will be out in the fall of 2025. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep.

From being the first-ever female CEO of a Big Four consulting firm, Deloitte, to being appointed commissioner of the Women’s National Basketball Association in 2019, Cathy Engelbert says basketball ran in her DNA — so it seemed like a natural next step in her career. Under her leadership, the WNBA has seen significant growth in viewership, sponsorships, and media deals. In an episode of The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations, she discusses her turnaround strategy for the league, her hopes to further expand and globalize the game, and why it’s worth investing in women’s sports. This interview was recorded on March 25 at NBA Headquarters in New York.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our next poster is titled Characterization of Concussions in the National Basketball Association and the 90-day Period Following Return to Play: Analysis of Musculoskeletal Injury Risk and Player Performance. This study was performed at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona and sought to determine the incidence of musculoskeletal injury in the immediate 90-day period following return to play from concussion.  The secondary outcomes were to evaluate player performance within the 90-day.  As well as time lost after musculoskeletal injury.Concussions have steadily garnered increased attention over recent years. We actually did an episode with Dr. Rachel Frank focused on concussions and sideline evaluation.  This is episode 98 if you want to go check it out.  That episode focused primarily on identifying and appropriately managing concussions.  This study aims to evaluate the impact of a concussion on risk of musculoskeletal injury. Concussions have previously been shown to have persistent neurological effects that may lead to slower reaction times and may compromise postural stability in high-level athletes. Therefore, it stands to reason that a player may be at greater risk for musculoskeletal injury and may exhibit poorer performance upon return from a concussion.The authors identified NBA players who sustained a concussion between 2015-20 22 using a publicly available database.  The database was also queried to identify any musculoskeletal injury in the 90-day period following return to play after the concussion, as well as time lost after the subsequent injury. Performance statistics were obtained from each players preinjury season and post-injury season.  Each concussed player was matched with a non-concussed control player using position, win shares, player efficiency rating and points per game as metrics.So, what did this study find?  A total of 70 concussions were identified during this time period. 70% of concussed players sustained a musculoskeletal injury in the 90-day period following return to play.  Compared with controls, the odds of sustaining a musculoskeletal injury in the concussed cohort were 11.3 times greater.  There was no significant difference between the type and location of injury, with ankle injuries being the most common in both groups.Now let's talk about performance.  Interestingly, there were no significant changes in points per game, minutes played per game or true shooting percentage between the concussed and control groups.  When compared with the controls, no changes in performance statistics were significantly different. Games missed after subsequent musculoskeletal injury were similar between the concussed and control groups.

Willard & Dibs continue talking about Steph Curry's injury and how the National Basketball Association could better protect their top players. Curry's injury has also proposed the question for callers: Why don't the Warriors get as many whistles as other teams they play? The guys discuss.

The NBA is so bad that not even Caitlin Clark wants to be associated with it. As the National Basketball Association continues to decline, more and more people are distancing themselves from the once-heralded association. Whitlock points out that poor leadership has led to the plateau in viewership the NBA has seen recently. Adam Silver has no idea how to get the train back on the tracks, as he even suggests that teams should play only 10-minute quarters, just like the WNBA. Even worse, Caitlin Clark turned down the NBA's offer to participate in a three-point shooting contest during All-Star Weekend. Someone better grab a life raft, because this ship is sinking. Steve Kim joins Jason to weigh in on the NBA's decline while also covering the unrivaled league's surprising ratings, Bill Belichick wanting to rename the Lombardi Trophy after Tom Brady, Joe Montana saying Dan Marino is the best quarterback of all time, Cam Newton stirring the pot and framing Dwight Howard as gay, and the new movement to boycott the Super Bowl. Later, T.J. Moe joins "Fearless" to debate whether Tony Dungy running for Senate in Michigan is a good idea. The former Super Bowl-winning coach is currently part of NBC's "Football Night in America." Assuming Dungy's Christian faith aligns him with the Republican MAGA movement, a career in politics would almost certainly end his TV career, especially at NBC. Wrapping up our show, Shemeka Michelle discusses a recent Vanity Fair article debunking the Obama drama.

For this week's episode, Jim is returning to Deloitte's Next Generation CMO Academy, with a listen into several of the conversations he has had with fellow marketing leaders, on how we hone and build the skills needed to be a CMO in this fast-paced world. With that theme in mind, we've pieced together snippets from a few special conversations from the event. First, Jim is joined by Norm Yustin, the Customer Activation and Growth Global Practice Leader for Russell Reynolds, a leading executive search and leadership advisory firm. Norm talks us through his path through marketing to becoming a recruiter, how he looks to support the leaders he hopes to place, and the decision of CEOs to hire internally or externally.Then, we welcome three alumni from a previous Deloitte Academy to speak about their experiences and how they were able to bring their learnings back to their companies and teams. Michael Chao, the Vice President of Marketing at Lidl. Sylvia Hooks, the Vice President Edge to Cloud Integrated Marketing for Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Anthony Toguchi, the Head of Institutional Digital Marketing for Vanguard.And finally Jim wraps up this special episode with a leader working to bring equality to women's sports. Colie Edison is the Senior Vice President and Chief Growth Officer for the WNBA, the Women's National Basketball Association. Colie is a veteran strategic leader and transformative marketer, becoming the league's first-ever Chief Growth Officer in January 2022. We learn how she stepped into the role at the WNBA, at the same time becoming a mother, alongside working with her fellow c-suite team.

Lever Time is taking a break this week, but we'll be back next week with a brand new episode. Today, we wanted to re-air one of our favorite episodes from 2024.  --The National Basketball Association wants you to gamble. Since 2014, the league has championed the legalization of sports betting nationwide, partially due to its own business interests in gambling. But the emergence of online gambling has coincided with a rise in troubling health outcomes like increased rates of depression and substance abuse. Today on Lever Time, we explore the recent growth of online gambling, sitting down with sports writers and an addiction expert to learn how it's impacted society and changed the very nature of sports and fandom. Sports fans are familiar with the companies DraftKings and FanDuel. In the NBA, their commercials are now as synonymous with the game as slam dunks — and both have transformed how viewers watch the game. In 2018, the Supreme Court struck down a federal law prohibiting gambling in most states — within the same year several states swiftly moved to legalize sports gambling, leading to more widespread usage of online sportsbooks. Today, millions of fans include betting as part of their viewing experience, but it's a trend that worries public health experts, athletes, and longtime fans, who believe the NBA's promotion of gambling will have long-term negative consequences.
