The team was intended as a showcase for Bahamian players, and organizers hoped to eventually play home games in the Bahamas. However internal instability caused the team to miss many of its games and suspend operations after the 2008–2009 season.
==History== The Bahama All-Pro Show originated in 2006, when Bahamian basketball promoter Ricardo Smith attempted to start a professional organization for basketball teams in the Bahamas, the '''Bahama Pro Show'''.<ref>{{cite news|title=Semi-Pro League At Odds With BBF |author=Gerrino Saunders |url=http://www.jonesbahamas.com/news/123/ARTICLE/10317/2006-10-20.html |newspaper=The Bahama Journal |date=October 20, 2006 |access-date=December 15, 2010 |url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110713120539/http://www.jonesbahamas.com/news/123/ARTICLE/10317/2006-10-20.html |archive-date=July 13, 2011 }}</ref> This enterprise struggled in the Bahamas, and Smith approached the American Basketball Association in the United States about reorganizing the Pro Show as a team in the ABA.
