After many years as a musician, T-Bone hosted T-Bone’s Prime Cuts, a freeform radio show on WICR-FM in Indianapolis, and worked in online promotion for some of the greatest musicians in the world. In 2018, brain surgery and a stroke caused him to take a step back from that life and step into a brand new one. His latest contribution brings together his vast knowledge from decades of experience as a guitar player, and as a lifelong fan of all kinds of music from heavy metal to blues, country to soul, gospel, rock, and everything in between.

    Episode #14: Moses and the Doctor: Two Men, One Championship, and the Birth of Modern Basketball

    In this episode, we interview Luke Epplin and talk about his great book, Moses and the Doctor: Two Men, One Championship, and the Birth of Modern Basketball. We’ll dive into the fascinating careers of two basketball legends, Moses Malone and Dr. J, also known as Julius Erving. From their early days in the ABA to their dominance in the NBA, these players left an indelible mark on the sport. Moses Malone, a three-time NBA MVP, was a force to be reckoned with on the court, while Dr. J, a four-time NBA scoring champion, Slam Dunk Champion, three time ABA MVP & one time NBA MVP was known for his incredible athleticism and signature moves like the cradle dunk. We'll explore their time with the Philadelphia 76ers, their impact on the game, and how they inspired future generations of players, including the likes of Kobe and Michael Jordan. Doctor J's influence on the game extends beyond his playing career, with his role in the movie The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh and all his business dealings, showcasing his personality off the court. Join us as we celebrate the careers of Moses Malone and Dr. J, two basketball legends who will always be remembered as among the greatest to ever play the game.
