On this episode of Our American Stories, in the 1950's and 60's the NBA could hardly be considered a professional sports league. Players held second jobs, played in small arenas, and no team existed west of Saint Louis. Today it's an 8.3 billion dollar entertainment and cultural icon. Pete Croatto, author of From Hang Time to Prime Time, explains how that happened.
