American Basketball Association–National Basketball Association

Chapter Chapter 7 in National Basketball Association Strategies, 2015, pp 83-94 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Prior to the late 1960s, the Chicago Packers and Chicago Bulls were the only expansion teams that existed and played games in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Then in 1967–1968, the league approved the entry of such new teams as the San Diego Rockets, Seattle Supersonics, Milwaukee Bucks, and Phoenix Suns. In other words, because of substantial financial requirements and the NBA’s failure to expand into other regions of the United States (US) besides the Midwest, southwest, and on the west coast, several sports markets in America were not home sites of elite professional basketball clubs.
