[编辑] 历史

大陆篮球协会的历史可以追溯到1946年的4月23日，当时联赛最初的一年被称之为东宾西法尼亚篮球联赛(Pennsylvania Basketball League),在1948年到1970年间联赛名为东部职业篮球联赛(Eastern Professional Basketball League)之后联赛又更名为东部篮球协会.在1978年1月1日联赛的名字变成了现在的名字 - 大陆篮球协会. 追踪联赛的运转发源于宾西法尼亚州,联赛声称是世界上最早的职业篮球联赛(NBA同样也是创建于1946年,但是NBA是46年的六月而大陆篮协则是四月,早NBA两个月诞生).大陆篮协的首任行政主管是Harry Rudolph, 是NBA著名的裁判Mendy Rudolph的父亲。

1999年,整个联赛的全部队伍被前NBA球星“微笑刺客”伊塞亚·托马斯率领的投资集团集体收购.但是收购的联合拥有计划并不成功,CBA宣布破产并且在2001年8月停止了运行.其中的许多球队转投国际篮球联盟(International Basketball League)帐下。

2001年秋,CBA大陆篮球协会和IBL国际篮球联盟合并成为国际篮球协会International Basketball Association购买了已不存在的CBA大陆篮球协会的资产,包括联赛的名字,标志,破产法庭的记录和重新运作,称他们自己大陆篮球协会。

In the 1946-47 Eastern League season, the Hazleton Mountaineers had three African-American players on their roster during the season - Bill Brown, Zack Clayton and John Isaacs. Isaacs previously played with an all-black touring squad, the Washington Bears, while Brown and Clayton were alumni of the Harlem Globetrotters.

In the 1955-56 season, the Hazleton Hawks Eastern League team were the first professional league franchise with an all-black starting lineup: Tom Hemans, Jess Arnelle, Fletcher Johnson, Sherman White and Floyd Lane.

[编辑] 三分线

Although the 1961-63 American Basketball League used a three-point scoring line, the Eastern League added a three-point line for the 1964-65 season. In that year, Brendan McCann of the Allentown Jets led the league with 31 completed 3-pointers for the year. Although three-point plays in the 1960's were very few and far-between, the Eastern League did develop several scorers who used the three-point shot to their advantage, including sharpshooters Stan Pawlak and Rich Cornwall.

[编辑] 可套缩的篮圈

After Darryl Dawkins shattered two basketball rims in the 1979-80 NBA season, the CBA tested out a collapsible hinged rim. Eventually other leagues converted their rims over to the collapsible hinged model, which is still in use today.

[编辑] 十天短合同

In the early 1980's, the CBA and the NBA entered into an agreement where CBA players would be signed to 10-day NBA contracts, mostly to replace an injured player or to test out a top prospect. Under the 10-day contract rule, a player is signed at the prorated league minimum salary for 10 calendar days. If the NBA team likes the player, they can sign him to a second 10-day contract. After the second 10-day contract expires, the team must either return the player to the CBA or sign him for the rest of the season.
