The NBA has gained worldwide popularity with its high-flying stars
and slam-dunking giants, but the early professional hoops game was
played below the rim. This book provides the first history of the
National Basketball League, which held court from the mid - 1930s
until its merger with the Basketball Association of America in
1949. Originally formed in Akron and Indianapolis, the league
operated mainly in the Midwest but extended as far east as
Rochester and Syracuse and west to Denver, building major
franchises with hometown loyalties. Most of its stars were college
graduates, a major change from previous professional leagues, and
it was the first modern major professional league to integrate.
Features include photographs, maps of league franchises, and tables
of team standings, MVPs, and scoring leaders.
