The Los Angeles Jets were members of the American Basketball League, a short-lived circuit that operated for a season and a half starting in 1961. The league was formed after Harlem Globetrotters' owner Abe Saperstein was denied an expansion franchise for Los Angeles in the National Basketball Association (NBA). In 1960, the NBA allowed the Minneapolis Lakers to relocate to Southern California. Saperstein convinced the owners of several top-level amateur teams (including George Steinbrenner) to form a new league. The Jets, though, couldn't compete at the box office with the Lakers and folded in January of 1962.

I ordered this for a gift for my basketball loving husband. He was so surprised and loved having a mug with the old ABA logo!
