Clock that saved pro basketball reshaped the NBA
Syracuse Nationals owner Danny Biasone pressed for a 24 second shot clock. In 1954 the league approved the timing device after Rostow’s clock proved reliable. The rule boosted scoring and transformed the league, moving the team to Philadelphia in 1963 and earning Biasone lasting fame as its most pivotal figure.

Biasone the man who brought pro basketball to Syracuse
The narrative follows Danny Biasone, immigrant from Naples who built a Syracuse sports empire from a small wine cellar to owning the Nationals, shaping the NBA with the 24 second clock. He championed players, debated referees, and kept court side until his final days, selling the Nationals in 1963 and watching the Nets evolve into today’s team.
