The American Basketball Association announced that it will return to Little Rock, Arkansas for the 2011 season. According to Joe Newman , ABA CEO, 'We have been looking for exactly the right owner for Little Rock, and in Bernard Brown, we've found that person. The Arkansas Rimrockers, 2005 champions, hold the record ABA attendance with nearly 15,000 fans turning out for the championship game. We were sorry the team moved to the NBDL and then folded. The fan base there was huge; they loved their ABA team, and now they'll have it back.'
The new team will be run by Bernard D. Brown, an agent advisor with sports management worldwide. A native of Sweet Home, AR, he grew up passionate about sports, especially basketball and worked as a paralegal for several law firms for fourteen years. 'I believe that my legal expertise and desire to help young people achieve their dreams allows me to assist my clients to get the most out of their athletic ability,' stated Brown. 'My love for the game has motivated me to go a step further in the pursuit of achieving my lifelong dream, owning my own professional basketball team. That dream has come to fruition with me becoming the proud owner of an ABA team in Little Rock - and you can be sure we will be doing some very special things here. This was one of the most successful ABA cities ever - and it will be again.'

Some days ago the American Basketball Association announced that it will be returning to Jacksonville, Florida for the 2011-2012 season with the addition of the Jacksonville Bluewaves to its list of expansion teams. According to Joe Newman , ABA CEO, 'Jacksonville is a great city and deserving of a quality ABA organization. In Kevin Waters , we've found the right owner to maximize the potential. I've known Kevin for several years and am very impressed with his abiliites both on and off the court. Another great addition to the fast growing Southeast Division.'
Kevin Waters , who will serve both as team owner and general manager, led the Bluewaves to an undefeated season in the WBA prior to moving to the ABA. 'One of the things I am most proud of,' stated Waters, 'is that 10 or my 12 players have gone to play internationally. Our goal is to help players with their careers, on and off the court. Joe Newman and I have talked about my having a team in the ABA for several years and I am really excited about the great opportunity for our players and everyone involved with this team. The ABA has a lot of history and we're looking forward to adding our own chapter to a league that spawned such names as Julius 'Dr. J' Erving, George 'Iceman' Gervin, Moses Malone, and of course, our own Artis Gilmore. Who could ask for more?'
