History

Historical Context

The 1976 merger of the NBA and ABA marked a pivotal moment in professional basketball, allowing the NBA to absorb four ABA teams: the Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, New York Nets, and San Antonio Spurs. This merger followed years of competition and legal battles, including an antitrust lawsuit that delayed negotiations. The merger significantly influenced the NBA's style and strategy, leading to the adoption of the three-point shot in 1979.
