The Continental Basketball Association was the NBA’s official minor league until Isiah Thomas drove it into the ground in the early part of the 21st century. Attendance information is spotty for the CBA, but the data for a handful of seasons below comes from the league’s annual media guides and/or from the always-excellent Fun While It Lasted by the one-and-only Andrew Crossley, whose research is gratefully acknowledged.
