Looked it up in ESPN's SportsCentury - lots of good info there.
1978 NBA, 1986 NCAA, no evidence of previous iterations
ABA formed in 1967, I think with the 3 pointer
In 1976, ABA dissolved with Pacers, Nuggets, Spurs and Nets joining NBA. 3 point shot soon followed in NBA. I like the 3 pointer, but Dr. J was my favorite ABA import.
