Ep. 02–The American Basketball League (1925-31) - a podcast by Steve Holroyd

In this episode, Steve Holroyd and Sydney the Wonder Chug revisit the American Basketball League of the 1920s, the sports first attempt at a major, national league. After initial success, the league was ultimately doomed by the Great Depression…but not before providing the best pro basketball of the era. Hear about the famous Original Celtics, and how the ABL resorted to extortion to force them to join the league…only to wish they hadn’t

ABL footage from the 1929-30 season featuring the Celtics can be seen here: https://youtu.be/2qPTWhmtFZg
