NBA Timeline: 1949-1966
Early Rules Teams Legends Games
Brian Aldridge
When two competing leagues merged to what is now the NBA, more major changes were to come! New rules made it so tall centers couldn't lurk around the hoop too long; no more center-jump after a free throw (!!!), and thanks to Danny Biasone, a 24-second clock was installed so that final scores of 18-17 were no more. Despite these changes, fans still didn't take to pro basketball. It didn't hurt that rising stars like Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Bob Petit, and Oscar Robertson took to the floor, but there was little or no newspaper or TV coverage. Moreover, it wasn't until 1960 when the Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles (go ahead, look for a lake in LA!) did the league appear national in scope. In fact, in1959, the NBA team farthest west was (technically!) Minneapolis.
Now's the time to check out the Celtics' dominance, Wilt Chamberlain's historic games, and Oscar Robertson's triple-double season. There were other stars as well. But why did we stop at 1965-66? The 9-team NBA began to expand the following year. What team did the league add? The Chicago Bulls!
