The Hollywood Fame is a team of the American Basketball Association based in the Los Angeles, California. It will be an expansion team for the 2006-07 season.
The team will play its home games at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, not the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena as previously announced.[1]
The Fame is distinguished by, and was perhaps named for, the various celebrities that bought into the team.
