I was looking up Pittsburgh NBA Expansion today on Google, and it said something about how Pittsburgh was almost admitted to the NBA in 1966 in lieu of Seattle. The reason that they weren't was because Art Rooney, Sr, the Steeler owner, didn't approve of the team. He was a major power broker in Pittsburgh sports, and didn't want an NBA team in Pittsburgh.
What if Rooney would have said yes? Would they still be in Pittsburgh? How successful would the team have been?
