Why The Pure Basketball Association?
Basketball is the most played game in the world, with +/-500 million. Due to the enormous advantage of height, 95% of players (<6'2") have no real chance at a pro career until now. By imposing a height restriction, the PBA game brings focus on skill, athleticism, and competition. A level playing field to play basketball in its Purest form.
