==History==

===2008: Franchise acquisition and sale===

Todd Wier had previously co-owned the Buffalo Silverbacks franchise of the American Basketball Association with Dan Robbie from 2005 to 2007. They sold that team to local concert promoter Vincent Lesh in September 2007, having lost $700,000 in their two seasons of ownership.<ref name="McKissic 2008">{{cite web | last=McKissic | first=Rodney | title=IS TWO A CROWD? | website=Buffalo News | date=July 11, 2008 | url=https://buffalonews.com/news/is-two-a-crowd-the-american-basketball-associations-buffalo-sharks-and-the-premier-basketball-leagues/article_b4192266-e029-5c1c-9261-209aba840ed5.html | access-date=December 27, 2023}}</ref>

In Wier's final season of ownership, the Silverbacks were eliminated from the 2006–07 ABA playoffs by the Beijing Aoshen Olympians, a traveling team from China who played their games at Felix Events Center in Azusa, California.<ref name="McKissic 2008"/> He was intrigued by the Olympians, as their games were broadcast live on CCTV-5 in China and watched by an average of 15 million people.<ref name="McKissic 2008"/><ref name="Pierson 2006">{{cite news | last=Pierson | first=David | title=Growing Their Games Chinese Players Learn Lessons, Make Strides From Year Spent in U.S. League | newspaper=Washington Post | date=April 2, 2006 | url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/2006/04/02/growing-their-games-span-classbankheadchinese-players-learn-lessons-make-strides-from-year-spent-in-us-leaguespan/3b534e3d-8026-4a13-8f37-2f7f2fae7d09/ | access-date=June 28, 2023}}</ref>
