INTERNATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION

The 'International Basketball Association' was an organization founded by AmeriSport International President Tom Anderson and based in Winnipeg, Manitoba that operated a minor league professional basketball league for a period of 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.
