TNTF Presents The 32nd Team: Ep. 6 - "Ready For The Opportunity" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Six episodes. Nearly eighty years of NBA history. And one final question: Where does the league go from here? Throughout The 32nd Team, Gavriel Wilkins and Torrence Stagger have chronicled the history of NBA expansion, the franchises that relocated, the cities that lost their teams. In addition to the markets that are hoping to become part of the league's next chapter. Now, in the sixth and final installment, they bring that journey to its conclusion by examining several additional expansion pos

What began as a temporary solution following Hurricane Katrina ultimately proved that professional basketball could thrive in a market few had previously considered for an NBA franchise. Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, one of the league's most historic basketball cities was fighting to keep the team it already had. In Part Three of The 32nd Team, Gavriel Wilkins & Torrence Stagger examine the circumstances that tra
TNTF Presents The 32nd Team: Ep. 2 - "Relocation" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Expansion brought NBA basketball to new markets throughout North America. But establishing a franchise and sustaining one proved to be two entirely different challenges.
