Las Vegas Silver Bandits / Bandits
March 6, 2012
Another tombstone in the graveyard of sports start-ups that is Las Vegas, Nevada. The Las Vegas Silver Bandits (shortened to simply the Bandits in year two) were a minor league basketball outfit in the new International Basketball League that debuted in November 1999. The Bandits lasted just a year-and-a-half before collapsing in the middle of their second season. The IBL itself followed a few months later.
