THE PURE BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION (PBA) IS COMING.
The NBA is entertainment with basketball. The PBA brings back the great game of basketball in a pure form. 6'5" max height.
UNLIKE ANY OTHER SPORT HEIGHT IS A HUGE unearned ADVANTAGE
Why The Pure Basketball Association?
Two reasons:
1.) The Harlem Globetrotters first introduced the 3-point shot. Later, the upstart ABA introduced the gimmick. Over the decades, it and not enforcing traveling have completely changed basketball, maybe not for the better.
2). Because height is such a huge advantage, the vast majority of the world's players are simply not tall enough to compete in "tall leagues". Over 99% of the world's 500 million players are not over 6'5", yet only about 38% of NBA players are not UNDER 6'6". Which means there is a vast pool (20x) of talented players 6'2"-6'5" essentially not tall enough for the NBA frontcourt. By imposing a height restriction, the PBA game brings focus on skill, athleticism, and competition. A level playing field to play basketball in its Purest form.

Is the PBA the next big thing in basketball?
"Not the biggest, just the best." -PBA
We believe that the PBA will offer the best, purest form of the great game of basketball.
The WNBA, the Big 3, Unrivaled, and The Basketball Tournament have all proven there is demand for basketball beyond NBA-like tall basketball. Also proven, there is money to be made by players, media, and investors*.
*The PBA may raise additional funds by crowdfunding to allow our fans and players to be owners in the PBA.
