"The new team will help build relationships with current as well as incoming players because they're now unified under one identity selected by our entire community. A crossover is a changing from one direction to another, which is exactly what we're looking to do here in Charlotte. We want to introduce the community to the fast-paced competitive theme of the ABA."
"I am so pleased that Charlotte has elected to resurrect affordable family oriented basketball," said Director of Public Relations, Domenick Nati. "I'm looking forward to inviting local sports fans to come out to the games without dreading the amount of the ticket and other expenses. Our ABA team will truly be a 'crossover' from what we're used to seeing here in profesisonal basketball."
