History
On July 7, 2017 Dr. Sev Hrywnak and Dave Magley announced the formation of a new professional basketball league. Magley previously served as Commissioner for National Basketball League Canada (NBLC). Dr. Sev Hrywnak is the owner of the Rochester Razorsharks. Teams will be based throughout the United States and Western Canada. Over the course of two years the league administration located cities which formerly hosted basketball teams in the defunct Continental Basketball Association and the Premier Basketball League, defunct NBA teams and potential sports markets. The purpose of the league is to provide opportunities for community involvement particularly schools from the elementary to high school levels. Programs include players reading to younger children, hosting basketball camps for teens, and speaking in school-wide assemblies about substance abuse and staying in school .
2018 season

On November 27, 2017 the league announced that there will be a franchise in Bellevue, Washington.
