The BAA was the oldest but largest one of the 2 original basketball leagues. The BAA originated a while ago but was popular around this time.

The NBL, ABA, and BAA joined together making the NBA here making this logo. It was relatively popular a few months after it was made. The NBA was going to be a generational source of entertainment for adults and kids worldwide. -

Jones at Shooting Guard, Gene Guarilia at Small Forward, Tom Heinson at Power Forward, And Bill Russel at Center. -
In this decade of time, The NBA was having a downfall due to the lack of the ability to beat the African American basketball players. The league was losing average watchers until two star players came in. Larry bird who played on the Boston Celtics and Magic Johnson who played on the Los Angeles Lakers, two very rival teams. These two players alone would prove to the world that race doesn't prove everything. -
On this exact date, 100% for sure arguably the best player to ever play in the NBA was drafted. He was drafted to the Chicago Bulls to the number 23. He went on to put a show on for his rookie season averaging 28 points and he was only the second option for the team. -
In the late 1990's. The NBA was in its prime as people who experienced it would say. In 1995 the NBA would go on to have almost 3 million viewers on average. -
In the 2000's, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal would go on to dominate the league for 3 straight years being possibly the strongest duo to ever be in the NBA together. Now they did have a few issues due to their huge difference in personality. Kobe's being self-centered and Shaq's being able to look out for the team. People still say that "the emergence of a new style of play that combined athleticism, skill, and strategy." was crazy between the two. -
In 2010, a very athletic player named LeBron James got a huge wave of hate from his fans for leaving the Cleveland Browns to go to the Miami heat for Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh most likely to win a ring. There, he fulfilled his goal and got his first ring and later on returned to Cleveland and won way more rings. -
All that has led us here to this day has been a blessing. All of the unknown things and people about the NBA are all useful for our journey to get here. Everything has made an impact on the game of ball we play today. Thank you.
