Minnesota Muskies were a professional basketball team which participated in the American Basketball Association (ABA) during the league's inaugural 1967–68 season. As one of the original ABA franchises, the Muskies home games were hosted at the Metropolitan Sports Center in Bloomington, Minnesota. Despite having success on the court, the team faced critical financial issues, leading to their relocation to South Florida, becoming the Miami Floridians for the 1968–69 season.
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.
