Our Mission

Pension parity for the three and four year Pre-1965 NBA Veterans without pensions who helped "set the table" for today's NBA successes...

Fact: The NBA pension started in 1965 and requires 3 years of play to qualify.  Pre-1965 players were included but the qualifying term was raised to five years in 1988 including time spent in the Armed Forces during WWII.

Those eligible: NBL "National Basketball League", the BAA "Basketball Association of America" and  the NBA.

The three and four year veterans were excluded.
