The Raleigh Bullfrogs lasted one season and Chris Corchiani loved every moment
Raleigh was the brief home of a professional basketball team, the Bullfrogs, which featured for ACC standout Chris Corchiani
The Global Basketball Association had big plans. It was right there in the name, but the GBA would never achieve their goal of becoming a worldwide professional basketball league. Lasting one full season with 11 teams scattered throughout the south and midwest beginning in 1991, the Global Basketball Association had issues from the jump. Most of the GBA's problems were financial, but some of it also had to do with misreading the market. That's how Raleigh ended up with a franchise, dubbed "The Raleigh Bullfrogs." Chris Corchiani joined 99.9FM The Fan's Joe Ovies to discuss how the former ACC standout loved his time playing at Dorton Arena (aka the Lilly Pad) for the Bullfrogs despite terrible court conditions, lack of fans, and money woes.
