Celebrate the innovations the ABA brought to modern basketball with the new documentary The Waiting Game!
The film follows the efforts of a small nonprofit organization, the Dropping Dimes Foundation, based in Indianapolis, as it battles the NBA on behalf of aging ABA players who were led to believe they would receive long-term benefits—especially pensions—but were ultimately left without them. It’s a must-see for basketball fans and anybody that loves a good David vs Goliath story!
“A powerful documentary that re-exposes the murky backstory of one of the most popular sports organizations in the world.” Morgan Rojas, Cinemacy
