The Indiana Legends were an ABA team from 2000-2002. The owner of the team is current owner & founder Joe Newman. In 2000, the team played in Hinkle Fieldhouse and reached the semifinals in the playoffs, only to lose to the Detroit Dogs.
The Legends second year was worse. At first there was a salary dispute going on with the players, then they had to change their home venue to the Pepsi Coliseum at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, followed by high school gyms. Their year ended by losing to the Las Vegas Slam in the ABA play-in game.
Indiana folded during the off year of the ABA, 2002-2003.
