Officially approved by the NBA Board of Governors on April 24, 1996, the creation of the WNBA was announced at a press conference with Rebecca Lobo, Lisa Leslie, and Sheryl Swoopes in attendance. While not the first major women's professional Basketball league in the United States (a distinction held by the defunct WBL), the WNBA is the only league to receive full backing of the NBA.

Colorado doesn't have a WNBA team. When the NWBL was in existence, the Colorado Chill won its last two championships, but that league folded after the 2006 season. Then owner Dave King tried to bring a WNBA franchise to Colorado, but couldn't get enough investors together.
