Defunct American Sports Leagues - The Continental Basketball Association was a long time quasi-minor league for the NBA which folded in 2001. Which former NBA player purchased the entire league in 1999 for 10 million dollars?
The correct answer is 'Isiah Thomas'
Founded in 1978, the CBA served as a minor league for the NBA, though there were no official links between NBA teams and the CBA franchises. Some very good NBA players, for example Anthony Mason and Mario Elie, played for fair stretches in the CBA before attaining NBA success. Isiah Thomas imagined a situation wherein the CBA would officially link itself as a developmental league for the NBA, but the NBA had other ideas, creating a developmental league of its own (and thus putting the CBA out of business). Thomas was forced to divest himself of the league when he became coach of the Indiana Pacers.
