North American Basketball League - The Foundation Years (1947-1956)

Decided I wanted to try and do a proper custom basketball universe using only real players but with my own league structure and teams, an idealised system where the league never contracts or relocates and instead just steadily grows for 80 years. It takes a lot of manual work in terms of building initial rosters and 'rolling over' draft classes from year to year to ensure there's always enough players in the pool but my 'North American Basketball League' or NABL is now in full swing with 10 seasons complete, having already undergone its second expansion to a total of 30 teams.
