História
A idéia de uma organização profissional como a PBWA começou a ser discutida no início dos anos 1970. Uma das justificativas era melhorar as condições de trabalho. Para os escritores da NBA, a liga não tinha uma política específica sobre o acesso a vestiários, práticas de equipe, jogadores, treinadores, gerentes gerais e outros executivos.
