The Women's American Basketball Association (WABA) was a women's basketball league founded in 1984 by Bill Byrne[1] that included players such as Nancy Lieberman, Molly Bolin, Pam McGee and Paula McGee. Lieberman, who signed a three-year, $250,000 contract with the Dallas Diamonds,[2] was voted the league's Most Valuable Player after averaging 27 points per game and helping Dallas win the 1984 WABA championship, but the league folded after the season.[3] The final game played was between the Diamonds and the WABA All-Stars, where Lieberman scored 19 points and was named the game's MVP in the Diamonds' 101–94 victory.[4]
