	American Basketball League 1925-55 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Where the National Basketball League was made up of smaller town teams, generally sponsored by industrial firms, the ABL was much more ethnic and big city.
		The ABL for many years was the top pro basketball league in the United States of America, but the teams were generally run by promoters with little or no money.
		Hence the Basketball Association of America was formed and the Cleveland Rosenblums became the Cleveland Rebels; the Boston Whirlwinds became the Boston Celtics, and the original Celtics were supplanted by the New York Knickerbockers.

	American Basketball Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The original ABA was founded in 1967, competing with the more established, rival National Basketball Association until reaching an agreement of merger in 1976.
		A new American Basketball Association was formed in the late 1999 and began play in 2000.
		The expansion has had chaotic results, with many teams failing to meet its financial obligations and folding during the course of the season, others being forced to cancel games and curtail their schedules, and the playoff format being revised several times because teams that qualified were failing to appear for games.

		While the ABL was the inspiration and creation of the players themselves, the WNBA is the NBA's attempt to secure a toehold in what they see as an area holding potential for future profits.

	basketball
		As ABL media guides state, "the American Basketball League (ABL) was created to establish the world's premier women's basketball league and give America's best players the opportunity to play professionally in their own country." For years American players were forced to go overseas after college if they wanted to play professional basketball.
		After the ABL's first season, the majority of top college players opted for the ABL rather than the WNBA, but a year later the pattern was reversed, with the WNBA's superior television coverage and endorsement opportunities having an impact.
		While the league's side of the story was that the players had made new demands, the union told it differently.
