NEW YORK - February 2, 2026 - Today, Prime Video revealed the official trailer for Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association, a four-part docuseries about the rise and fall of the American Basketball Association - a league that defined one of America's most turbulent eras and shaped the NBA as we know it today. Directed by Kenan Kamwana Holley, all four episodes of the docuseries will premiere February 12 exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Soul Power is the latest addition to the Prime membership. Prime members enjoy savings, convenience, and entertainment, all in a single membership.

Soul Power is the definitive story - and first docuseries - of the American Basketball Association. The series chronicles the 1967 launch of the enterprising league and explores how a collection of franchises - the majority of which relocated or folded - challenged the NBA on and off the court for nine riveting seasons, and examines the lasting impact of the ABA on the sport of basketball, including the introduction of the 3-point shot; the All-Star Game slam dunk competition; the addition of former ABA franchises like the Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, and San Antonio Spurs to the NBA; empowering women to play a more substantial role in the business of sports; and the rise to fame of superstar players and pro hoops contributors like Julius Erving, Moses Malone, Spencer Haywood, George Gervin, Rick Barry, and George Karl. 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of the ABA's merger with the NBA.

Soul Power showcases how a bold, short-lived league permanently reshaped professional basketball, player empowerment, and American sports culture. Told through the voices of legends, cultural leaders, and historians, the series contends that modern basketball looks the way it does because the ABA existed.

Presented by Prime Video Sports, Soul Power is executive produced by Grammy, Emmy, and Academy Award-winner Common, Julius "Dr. J" Erving, Todd Lieberman of Hidden Pictures, George Karl and Brett Goldberg of Truth+Media, and Kenan Kamwana Holley of Holley Films, with support from Scott Tarter, Founder and CEO of Lana Sports and Co-Founder and CEO of the Dropping Dimes Foundation, which has helped provide for the financial and health needs of retired ABA players over the past decade.
