Though I’m not old enough to have direct memories of the American Basketball Association, I’ve been fascinated with it since I was a kid in the 1980s. I thought I knew the whole history of the short-lived league, but a new docuseries called Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association, which you can watch now with a Prime subscription, taught me something new. A team run completely by women won the ABA title in 1975. Nothing like that had ever happened. The docuseries is about much more than this, though, as the story of Ellie Brown and her team of women also stands out.
