Why are the NBA All-Star Game's 'moneyballs' red, white and blue? The ABA, once perceived as gimmicky, helped make the NBA what it is today, writes InstantRHIplay:
“The ABA marriage with the NBA: You go back and think of Dr. J — he was the ABA, what he did for the ABA — and then they merged,” Anderson said. “That was outstanding, Dr. J is Dr. J. The best players coming from the ABA and joining the NBA, that was a big hit for everybody and, obviously, changed the trajectory of the league today.”
The ABA was once perceived as gimmicky by purveyors of the NBA. The league played its first game on Oct. 13, 1967, with a 3-point line and a red, white and blue basketball.
