Philadelphia Warriors were the first NBA Champs when the league was

The Basketball Association of America (BAA) was a professional basketball

serving as president of the American Hockey League, was appointed president
of the BAA, becoming the first person to simultaneously lead two professional
leagues. The league merged with the National Basketball League (NBL) in
1949, forming the National Basketball Association (NBA).
