	Oakland Oaks (ABA) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Oakland Oaks were a charter member of the original American Basketball Association, playing in the ABA during the 1967-1968 and 1968-1969 seasons.
		The Oaks were owned in part by pop singer Pat Boone.
		Despite winning the ABA championship, the Oaks were an abysmal failure at the box office, due in large part to the proximity of the NBA Warriors.

	Remember the ABA: Oakland Oaks
		In the early years of the ABA, the Oaks were the only ABA franchise in "direct" geographic competition with an NBA team: the San Francisco Warriors.
		The young Oaks dominated their competition, prompting some basketball writers to speculate that the Oaks were building an "ABA dynasty." During the first few months of the season, Barry was spectacular and averaged 35.1 points per game.
		The Oaks logo is actually an adaptation of the acorn character logo that Susman originally designed for the old Pacific Coast League baseball Oakland Oaks, who left Oakland in 1955.

	American Basketball Association - ABA
		The original ABA was founded in 1967, competing with the more established, rival National Basketball Association until reaching an agreement of merger in 1976.
		Ultimately four ABA teams were absorbed into the older league: the New York Nets, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, and San Antonio Spurs.
		The ABA had a more wide-open style of offensive play as well as differences in rules (a 30-second shot clock as opposed to the NBA's 24, use of a 3-point basket, etc.) The freewheeling style of the ABA eventually caught on with fans, and many still remember the red, white and blue basketball.
