When was the NBA created? When was the NBA founded?

The NBA was created and developed by Brown in 1949.

The NBA was founded in New York on June 6, 1946, with Maurice Podolov as the league's first president, and his name was stamped on the league's MVP trophy. At the beginning of the league, there were only 11 teams, of which only 3 have survived to this day, they are the Warriors, Knicks and Celtics, and the remaining 8 teams have been disbanded within 5 years. On June 6, 1946, the BAA, the predecessor of the NBA, was established in the United States, all because the owners of eleven ice hockey arenas and stadiums did not want to idle their stadiums when there were no related games, and for this purpose, the American Basketball League was born.

At that time, the 11 teams were also divided into East and West (6 in the East and 5 in the West), but only 3 teams from each of the East and West advanced to the playoffs. The playoff format is also very weird, if it is common sense, the best teams can meet at the end, but the management of the BAA directly divided the Washington Congress, which is the first team in the East, and the Chicago Bucks, which is the first in the West, to play a best-of-7 game, and the other four teams will first play a round of 3 games and 2 wins of 2 knockouts, the second team in the East will face the second team in the West in the first round, and the third team in the East will play the third team in the West in the first round.

The NBA was the result of Walter Brown's merger in 1949 between the two major basketball organizations, the BAA and the NBL"National Basketball Association (NBA for short).

Profile: Walter Brown (Walter Brown), a famous American sports personality. He was the head coach of the U.S. ice hockey team at the 1936 Berlin Olympics and founded the Boston Celtics basketball team in 1946. Brown served as president of the Boston Celtics until his death on September 7, 1964.

As one of the Boss members, Brown was instrumental in the merger of the NBL and BAA into the NBA today. But the Celtic dynasty is clearly a bigger achievement. After Brown's death, the NBA named the NBA championship trophy in his honor.

On October 13, 1965, Walter Brown was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

NBA History:

In 1896, the first basketball organization in the United States"National Basketball League (NBL)."It was founded, but at that time the rules of basketball were not perfect, the organization was not perfect, and after a few seasons, the organization existed in name only.

On April 6, 1946, Walter Brown, the owner of Boston Garden, initiated the establishment of the "National Basketball Association" (BAA).", the BAA was founded with a total of 11 teams. For the first time, Brown proposed a high salary system and a contract system, which means that professional basketball must have strong financial support in order to keep the game at a high level. The contract system means that a player can only sign a contract with one club, and a player reserve system is set up in case the player leaves the team suddenly.

On November 1st, the BAA competition officially began. The match was between the Toronto Eskimos and the New York Knicks, and the score was 66:68, and the Knicks won.

In 1947, under the leadership of Joe Fox, the league's first scoring champion in the league of the Philadelphia Warriors (points per game), they defeated the Chicago Bucks 4-1 to become the first team to win the championship.

In 1949, thanks to Brown's efforts, the two major basketball organizations in the United States, the BAA and the NBL, merged to form the body"National Basketball Association (NBA for short).

The NBA was founded on June 6, 1946. When it was founded, it was called ABA, that is, the National Basketball Association, which was jointly initiated by the owners of 11 ice hockey halls and gymnasiums in order to keep the gymnasiums from being idle outside of NHL games, so the NBA is also called "NHL's little brother".

In 1891, Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian, created basketball with two baskets and a soccer ball in order to find a way for students to exercise in winter sports. The NBA, as it is known today, was founded on June 6, 1946, as the BAA, or "National Basketball Association", and was founded by the owners of 11 ice hockey arenas and gymnasiums to keep the gyms from being idle outside of NHL games.
