Although there had been earlier attempts at professional basketball leagues, including the American Basketball League and the National Basketball League, the BAA was the first league to attempt to play primarily in large arenas in major cities.
The Basketball Association of America was founded in 1946 by the owners of major sports arenas in the Northeast and Midwest, most notably Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Following the recent changes to the National Hockey League's scheduling format, the NBA is now the only major league in North America in which all the teams play each other during the regular season, and where a season ticket holder can see every team in the league come to town in any one season.

As with the rival American Basketball League, the major impetus behind the move was the U. women's dream team that was expected to draw a lot of attention at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Eddie Jordan is widely regarded around the NBA as a great coaching prospect.
However, Arenas was apparently intrigued by the idea of playing in new Washington head coach Eddie Jordan's free-flowing offense.
Golden State can still match Washington's offer, but since the Warriors are nearly $5 million over the salary cap and can only offer him the $4.9 million mid-level exception next season, it is unlikely that Arenas will elect to go back there.

By then, although hockey remained popular in Canada, the popularity of hockey in the United States, especially the American south, dwindled to the point where many considered hockey to be a "minor sport" among American staples such as baseball, basketball, and American football.
