Background
The Great Lakes Storm basketball team was a minor league outfit that played three seasons in the Continental Basketball Association from 2002 through 2005. The Storm were based in the tiny village of Birch Run (pop. 1,555) in Saginaw County, Michigan.
Midway through the Storm’s second season in the 2003-04, former University of Michigan star and NBA All-Star Chris Webber became a part-owner of the team. Webber’s former “Fab Five” teammate at Michigan, Jimmy King, played for the Storm that season too.
The Storm folded in 2005 after three seasons of play.
