Professional Basketball In 1939-40: On The Cusp Of Depression And WarBy: John Hogrogian Professional basketball began its modern history in 1946, when the postwar economy put money in the hands of working people. Basketball promoters were invested in the professional game as a new winter spectator sport. Only after 1960 did the sport begin to achieve the big time status that it now enjoys. The postwar sport was built on an ill funded, unglamorous industry that survived through the hard times of the Great Depression.

By: John Hogrogian

Professional basketball began its modern history in 1946, when the postwar economy put money in the hands of working people. Basketball promoters were invested in the professional game as a new winter spectator sport. Only after 1960 did the sport begin to achieve the big-time status that it now enjoys.

The postwar sport was built on an ill-funded, unglamorous industry that survived through the hard times of the Great Depression. There is little historical treatment of that earlier game. Pro Basketball in 1939-40 takes a detailed view of one season, as the Depression ground on. World War II, however, had started in Europe and would soon change everything about pro basketball in the United States.

Quality part at reasonable price.
Had the exact same appearance as the Motorcraft kit. Installed the same and so far no issues at all. Cost on this was less than half of the Motorcraft kit.

Great starter!
Excellent! A year later and it is still going strong! It will probably outlast the truck.
