No Winners Needed, Kennedy Says NBA Franchise Key
NBA commissioner Walter Kennedy told a Senate antitrust panel that winning is not the sole ingredient for a successful franchise. He cited Milwaukee and Atlanta as examples of strong clubs with small arenas while warning that weak teams may fail without solid promotion and management. Kennedy noted the 1949 league merger left 17 teams, shrinking to eight by 1954, and discussed fans' primacy in preserving teams. ABA commissioner Jack Dolph cited excessive pay contracts as part of the problem, describing a $900,000 rookie deal with extravagant bonuses and perks unmatched by stable revenue.
