The American Basketball Association was a major basketball league started in the United States in 1967 as a competitor of the National Basketball Association. Their rules included the three point line, a 30 second shot clock, and they used a basketball that was red, white, and blue and looked very much like the ball used by the WNBA today. The league disbanded in 1976 and four of their teams, San Antonio Spurs, Denver Nuggets, New York Nets, and Indiana Pacers moved into the NBA.
American Basketball Association ended in 1976.
Women's American Basketball Association was created in 2002.
first there were two conferences, the NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION, and the AMERICAN BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION. But the NBA was better, so they merged into just the NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION.
