History

Historical Context

The NBA expanded in 1976 by merging with the American Basketball Association (ABA), adding teams like the New Jersey Nets and Denver Nuggets, which increased the league to 22 teams. This merger followed years of competition and legal battles, including the antitrust lawsuit led by Oscar Robertson. The integration of ABA's fast-paced style and innovations, such as the three-point shot, significantly shaped modern basketball.
