Logo of the National Basketball Association’s Providence Steamrollers, who played in the league from 1946 until 1949. They were a charter member of the league when it still went by the name Basketball Association of America, but were a losing team and folded after the ’49 season. The club set a league record for least victories in a season – 6 – that still stands today. The Steamrollers, in their inaugural season, had the league’s tallest player, George Nostrand, and the oldest player in NBA history, 46 year old Nat Hickey, played for them in the 1947-48 season.
