National Professional Basketball League was a professional basketball league in the United States from 1950–51, serving as a successor league to the National Basketball League that operated from 1937 to 1949. Sheboygan Red Skins, Anderson Packers, and Waterloo Hawks all had been members of the NBL and NBA prior to joining the NPBL. The league played just one season, with no championship finals ever being staged. Grand Rapids Hornets, Kansas City Hi-Spots, Louisville Alumnites and Saint Paul Lights folded during the season, Denver Refiners relocated to Evansville, Indiana and became the Evansville Agogans. The Sheboygan Red Skins and Waterloo Hawks both claimed the championship because they were each in first in their divisions at the end of the season but they never met in a playoff series.
