The '''Gallup Talons''' were an [American Basketball Association](/source/American_Basketball_Association_(2000%E2%80%93present)) (ABA) team based in [Gallup, New Mexico](/source/Gallup%2C_New_Mexico).  The team began play in the fall of 2005, and was announced as a Native American team; however, the team released its last Native American player in January 2006. The team started off 10-0, losing its eleventh game to the [Southern California Legends](/source/Southern_California_Legends).

Opting out of the 2005-06 playoffs, the team was transferred from former owner Joe Kolb to [Debra Money](/source/Debra_Money) and was renamed the '''Gallup Outlaws''' for the 2006-07 season, to much less successful results.   After taking the '07-'08 season off, the team announced they were returning for the '08-'09 season, with Kolb back as owner, and the team going back to the Talons nickname.  [New Mexico Lobos men's basketball](/source/New_Mexico_Lobos_men's_basketball) alumnus [Kelvin Scarborough](/source/Kelvin_Scarborough) will serve as head coach for the resurrected Talons.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.abalive.com/news/releases/?newsid=2008072206006 |title="THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN - TALONS RETURN TO GALLUP" - ABALive.com |access-date=2008-07-23 |archive-date=2008-08-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080801064708/http://www.abalive.com/news/releases/?newsid=2008072206006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
