There was 11 original teams with prominent players like Julius" Dr. J" Erving, George "The Iceman" Gervin, Rick Barry and Moses Malone. It lasted until 1976 when they merged with the NBA.

The ABA was reformed in 2000 and is America's largest and most diversified professional sports league with 216 teams in different regions. Six years ago, the Binghamton Bulldogs became a part of the ABA.

The Bulldogs have their own ABA superstars including Ralph Williams, Olympian Bradley Christian, and Brent Williams. They began the 2022-23 season with a 94-22 overall record with two Northeast Region championships (before falling to the eventual National champions).

With talent coming from all over the country to play in our back yard, expectations were high and they began the season ranked 11th. The rise was fast and furious and have been at the pinnacle of the ABA for the last 6 weeks.
