The first NBA was the New York Knickerbokers vs. the Toronto Huskies.
In the first season, 1946-1947, of the NBA (called the BAA until the merger with the NBL in 1949) the top three teams from the Eastern and Western divisions were invited to the playoffs. The two division champions played a Semifinal best-of-seven series for entry into the finals. The other four teams played two rounds of best-of-three playoffs to face the winner of the Semifinal match. That year, the Philadelphia Warriors defeated the Chicago Stags 4 games to 1 in the first ever BAA Championship.
The New York Knicks defeated the Toronto Huskies 68-66 in the very first NBA game on November 1, 1946. Any fan taller than Toronto center George Nostrand was granted free admission.
It's hard to say who the very first professional Basketball team was. There were many 'barnstorming' teams that formed in the 1920s. Some credit the Original Celtics as the first, but the New York Renaissance Five and the Harlem Globetrotters were also famous during that era.
