United States Basketball League

Recognized as The League of Opportunity, the United States Basketball League (USBL) is as much involved with human resource development as it is with professional sports. The United States Basketball League (USBL) has provided an opportunity for players to improve and showcase their skills for the National Basketball Association (NBA), Continental Basketball Association, D-League, and International clubs around the world. Over the past twenty one seasons of operation, the United States Basketball League (USBL) has been the springboard for numerous professional playing careers.

The United States Basketball League (USBL) season runs from late April (after the conclusion of the collegiate basketball season) until late June (before the start of NBA rookie and free agent camps). For draft-hopeful collegians, the United States Basketball League (USBL) is the premiere summer league, which offers a sound transition from the college to the professional game. The United States Basketball League (USBL)’s playing rules are identical to the NBA’s rules, with the added stipulation that each team carries at least two rookies on its roster. This provides a maximum opportunity for players looking to showcase their skills as well as stay in prime physical and mental condition prior to the NBA Draft.
