The Minnesota Ripknees are a team of the American Basketball Association scheduled to begin play in 2006. The team gets its unusual name after "Ripknee", a character in stories (with a hole in the knee of his blue jeans) which co-owner John Jurewicz used to tell his son, William (also a co-owner) on long car trips.
