From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Basketball Association is an organization based in Washington, D.C. whose goal is to use basketball as a medium to promote health and social awareness among youth. It operated a minor league professional basketball association for a period for six seasons.
In the fall of 2001, CBA and IBL teams merged with the IBA and purchased the assets of the defunct CBA, including its name, logo and records from the bankruptcy court and re-started operations, calling itself the CBA.
