The ASEAN Basketball League, often abbreviated to the ABL, is a men's professional basketball league in East and Southeast Asia. It includes six teams from Southeast Asian nations, three teams from China, and one from Chinese Taipei (Taiwan). The league was proposed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and launched on 1 October 2009,^[1] with six clubs from six different countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) competing in the league's inaugural 2009–10 season.^[1]

Logo used for the first season with General Electric as the title sponsor.

History

Formation

Basketball officials from 6 ASEAN nations gathered in Metro Manila on 1 September 2009 to officially launch the new league.^{[citation needed]}

League expansion

On 22 September 2011, the Brunei Barracudas announced that they were bowing out of the third season of ABL after participating for 2 seasons.^{[citation needed]}

On 20 October 2011, the Saigon Sports Academy officially announced the participation of Saigon Heat into the third season of ABL, making them the first ever international professional basketball team to represent Vietnam.^{[citation needed]}

In 2012, San Miguel Beermen and Bangkok Cobras joined the league aside from Saigon Heat. Unfortunately, after one season, the Cobras left the league with the Beermen leaving after they won the title in 2013.

In 2014, Laskar Dreya South Sumatra (INA) joined ABL, but they left after the 2014 season.

In 2015, Pilipinas MX3 Kings and Mono Vampire joined the league. Unfortunately, both teams left the league in 2016.

On 17 July 2016, it was announced that Kaohsiung Truth, a team from Kaohsiung, Taiwan will participate in the 2016–17 season.^[2] On 30 July 2016, the Eastern Basketball Club confirmed its participation in the league.^[3] The two teams were the first teams from outside Southeast Asia to compete in the league. The Philippines made their return in the league with the joining of Alab Pilipinas on 6 August 2016.

On September 2017, the league confirmed the entry of four new teams: CLS Knights Surabaya, Formosa Dreamers, the returning Mono Vampire Basketball Club^[4], and the Nanhai Kung Fu^{[citation needed]}. Kaoshiung Truth disbanded after the 2016-17 season.

After the 2018 season, the Kung Fu moved to Macau and became the Macau Black Bears^[5], while the league announced the addition of the Zhuhai Wolf Warriors, based in Zhuhai in the Pearl River delta.^[6]

Individual awards

The league awards five (5) individual awards: the Local MVP, World Import MVP, ASEAN Heritage MVP and the Defensive Player of the Year awards to its players and the Coach of the Year award given to the league's best head coach.

Prior to the 2015–16 ABL season, there was only one (1) MVP award for imports and was called the Best Import award. It was divided into two for World Imports (for players hailing from outside Southeast Asia and to the ASEAN Heritage Imports (for players from other Southeast Asian countries or players with at least one Southeast Asian parent).

Also, the Defensive Player of the Year and Coach of the Year awards were only awarded since the 2012 season.
