The History of Basketball (1939-1968)

Ideally, what I'll do here is set the stage for this league and then break it off into a separate dynasty. But there's no point in cluttering the forum with another half-eaten dynasty if I'm not going to continue the story, so I want tj just sandbox in here first.

In 1961, Juniors became eligible for the NBA draft.

In 1965, the tournament expanded from 32 to 64 teams meaning that each conference no longer only got one bid into the NCAAs. The NIT also grew from 32 to 40 teams.

The 8-time MVP and consensus GOAT is Felton Peters who is a free agent now, but spent his whole NBA career with the Celtics. He's 2nd all-time in scoring, but despite winning 8 MVPs, the Celtics have only won one title during his tenure, which tarnishes his legacy slightly.
