Professional Basketball Leagues
In a state of flux, realignments, leagues folding and then re-opening, this is the state of men's professional basketball. Womens Professional Basketball Leagues continue to appear and grow.
Gone from the picture are the IBA, a merger with the new CBA, IBL venture. Many of the defunct league pages have been kept as reference on the site.
We have added Womens Professional Leagues, including many league past champions.
