The Buffalo Rapids have issued a press release to say that the team's new web site is up. Not only is the release very poorly written, but it doesn't include the URL. First impressions are important. The first impressions made by new/expansion franchises generally come from written statements. Many...

90-67 baby!!

Congrats to the Altitude, and Joey Meyer. He has succeeded on every level of coaching, and hopefully the NBA is next.

Obviously not in the ABA. I can't imagine them ending up in the NBDL, though Ike Austin has said that's his intention for the team. Unless a new league pops up somewhere, maybe the AAPBL would be the most logical choice. :

Chris (known here as Crusaders Fan) has put together a highly successful website/message board at http://www.ABAsite.tk . I have seen noone as devoted as Chris (unless it's Paul Reeths) to the promotion of minor league sports. It is my hope that those of you who follow WBA basketball will BACK http...

Grand Rapids went on to beat up the Macomb County Mustangs in their inaugural game the next night. I attended said game. Unlike the ABA Motown Jammers inaugural game that I also attended, I will probably be back for more. I believe the final was 143 - 95. I know they won by 48. In the pre game shoo...

Though having your name associated with the ABA might be a fate worse than death.

Now that I reread it, I understand what you're saying. The thing I don't get is why a legend like Freddie Lewis continues to get involved with this.

Warren Jabali isn't dead, he's a teacher in the Miami-Dade school system.

I forget when I found this, but I was really bored, and I saw an article online saying he was a teacher.

Probably didn't make it to the game. Bus fare was too expensive! Did he go to the All-Star game? Also, how does the owner of the Vegas franchise get owner of the year? Shouldn't that go to a team with at least a little bit of success, on or off the court? Why not the Arkansas franchise? Only in thi...
