History
The Xtreme Basketball Association was founded in 2019 by Gold Glover IX. On October 21, 2019, in Baltimore,Maryland, USA the Baltimore Cannons hosted the Dallas Barons at (insert Cannons Home), in a game the XBA now refers to as the first game played in XBA history. The first basket was made by Micheal Porter Jr. of the Barons. The first season of the XBA was won by the Alaska Chill as they were able to beat the Jacksonville Jump in the XBA finals.

The following year, resulted in the 2020 XBA Draft where the Atlanta Olympians selected Jedrzej Sobczak with the first overall pick. This offseason the XBA adopted 3 rule changes ( A 5 foul elimination from competition, Elimination of all financial restrictions, and A decreased shot clock of 20 seconds.) This offseason also led to a league realignment as the Nashville Tempo were put in the Southwest division of the Western Conference and the Wisconsin Bandits were put in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference. This was also the offseason in which Commissioner Gold Glover IX announced the launch of XBA2, a developmental league for athletes.

Teams

Playoffs
The playoffs follow a tournament format. Each team plays an opponent in a best-of-seven series, with the first team to win four games advancing into the next round, while the other team is eliminated from the playoffs. In the next round, the successful team plays against another advancing team of the same conference. All but one team in each conference are eliminated from the playoffs. Since the XBA does not re-seed teams, the playoff bracket in each conference uses a traditional design, with the winner of the series matching the first- and eighth-seeded teams playing the winner of the series matching the fourth- and fifth-seeded teams, and the winner of the series matching the second- and seventh-seeded teams playing the winner of the series matching the third- and sixth-seeded teams. In every round, the best-of-7 series follows a 2–2–1–1–1 home-court pattern, meaning that one team will have home court in games 1, 2, 5, and 7, while the other plays at home in games 3, 4, and 6. The XBA Finals followed a 2–3–2 pattern, meaning that one team had home court in games 1, 2, 6, and 7, while the other played at home in games 3, 4, and 5.

The final playoff round, a best-of-seven series between the victors of both conferences, is known as the XBA Finals. The winner of the NBA Finals receives the XBA Championship. Each player and major contributor—including coaches and the general manager—on the winning team receive a championship ring. In addition, the league awards the XBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award to the best performing player of the series.

The Alaska Chill have won the most championships with 1 XBA Finals win. Current teams that have no XBA playoff appearances:
