The American Basketball Association (ABA) today announced that it has added its first US-based Latino-centric team, to be primarily comprised of Latino players who will play in the ABA's West Region starting this season. "Having a team loaded with Latino players is something we have wanted for many years," stated ABA CEO Joe Newman . "There are so many great Latino players and there are so many Latino people in the West and Southwest - the fan base should be terrific for all of their home games and away games. The team will be based in the Phoenix metro area."


Steve Mitchell, the owner of the Arizona Golden Gators added, "We represent more than basketball - we represent family, culture and community. Our team takes pride in competing with passion, respect and heart while honoring our Latino roots. Every game is an opportunity to bring people together, inspire the next generation, and show what our community is capable of both on and off the court. We play for each other, our families and everyone who supports the growth of Latino basketball. Relentless effort. Championship mindset. We don't just compete - we set the standard. Where culture meets competition."
