New Basketball Docuseries 'Soul Power'

Founded in 1967, the American Basketball League stood in contrast to the NBA with a looser, flashier, more entertaining approach to the game. It produced superstars, especially Julius Irving, aka "Dr. J" before merging with the NBA in 1976. "Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association," a new docuseries executive produced by Julius Irving about the league debuts tonight on Amazon Prime. Director, Kenan Kamwalla Holley talks about making the comprehensive series.
