Publisher's summary

Dennis Murphy is without question the greatest professional sports promoter in U.S. history. He single-handedly created the American Basketball Association, World Hockey Association, World Team Tennis, Roller Hockey International, and many other professional sports leagues.

Without him, there would be NO San Antonio Spurs winning 4 NBA championships, NO Indiana Pacers, NO Denver Nuggets, NO Brooklyn Nets, as well as NO Edmonton Oilers winning 5 NHL Stanley Cup championships, and NO New England Whalers, creating uncounted thousands of jobs. The list goes on and on, with dozens of pro sports teams created by Dennis Murphy now worth several billions of dollars. In fact, without his A.B.A. league showing the value of the 3-point shot, there would be NO 3-point shot in today’s N.B.A.

In addition, without his W.H.A. and R.H.I. leagues, there would be NO sudden-death overtime and 4-on-4 play in today’s N.H.L. On top of all that, without him "making waves", all pro sports players today might still be forced to stay with their initial draft team, forever. It is now time to give this man his due credit in sports history. This unique audiobook includes the actual interviews of Dennis Murphy as he talks about his creations in his own words.... The introduction and epilogue are provided by the long-time LA Lakers announcer, John Ireland.
