✍️ The American Basketball Association (ABA) was a flawed league that tried to differentiate itself from the NBA with innovative rules and flashy offenses, but ultimately lacked financial stability and was not viable.
👉 The ABA was established in 1967 as a rival to the NBA 👉 The league had innovative rules, including the three-point shot 👉 The ABA had some notable players, including Julius Erving, David Thompson, and Artis Gilmore 👉 The league struggled with financial issues, including lack of TV coverage 👉 The ABA was unable to compete with the more established NBA
