almostbasketball almost made it to three years. From January 1, 2002 to December 1, 2004, we were here to chronicle the ups and downs of this league, but we're done. Feel free to peruse the archives to get a sense of the high comedy that was the ABA and continue to talk amongst yourselves if you like, but we're out.
