Pittsburgh Condors were a professional basketball team which played in the American Basketball Association (ABA) from 1970-72. The Condors' predecessors were the Pittsburgh Pipers, who won the inaugural ABA championship in 1968. However, the team's unsuccessful tenure was marred by financial instability, low attendance figures and consecutive losing seasons, leading to the franchise closing up shop and disbanding in 1972. The failure of the Condors to attract any significant interest no doubt has led to the NBA ignoring Pittsburgh as a future expansion franchise.
American Basketball Association (ABA) was a professional basketball league which was in operation from 1967-1976, rivaling the established NBA. The league's mission was to provide a more exciting wide open high scoring product than its competitor, hoping to create a marketing buzz among pro hoops' fans. Future basketball legends such as Julius Erving (Dr. J), George Gervin, Moses Malone, Artis Gilmore, Rick Barry, David Thompson and others were all born by the upstart ABA.
By implementing novel innovations such as the three-point shot, colorful team uniforms and a red, white and blue basketball, the league succeeded to some extent in fulfilling their mission. Financial challenges and stiff competition with the NBA for player talent led to four ABA teams (Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, New York Nets, San Antonio Spurs) joining the NBA in the 1976 merger between the two leagues.
