Just wondering what everyone thinks of the NEW American Basketball Association. Yes this is a revival of the same league in the 70's that battled the NBA. I wanna know if anyone here has any interets in this team, will you attend games, and will the league survive. So far the league looks very stable. They have 30 expansion teams this upcoming season, all with arenas. The Drillers will be playing at the corral. Since Basketball is starting to really grow, I'd expect to see some crowds in the 6000 range. The ABA is doing what the WHA is trying to do in hockey. Both were rival leagues to the big leagues in the 70's, and both ultimatly bowed out. Both leagues are agin now trying to re-establish themselves. Unlike the WHA which looks like a mess in the making, the ABA looks like it might not just work, but survive long time and become a very good league. I know I may have to check this out sometime. never seen live Basketball before!
