The American Basketball League played one full season 1961-1962 and part of 1962-1963. The league actually folded on December 31 1962. The ABL was the first basketball league to have a three point shot for baskets scored far away from the goal. Other rules that set the league apart were a 30-second shooting clock and a wider free throw lane–18 feet instead of the standard 12.
