The New York Stars were one of the earliest women’s professional basketball teams in the United States, formed in 1978 at the inception of the Women’s Professional Basketball League (1978-1981). Although the Stars would exist for just two years, the team enjoyed a number of highlights. These included a league championship, doubleheaders with the New York Knicks in the Madison Square Garden, and a pair of identical twins who were cast in national advertising campaigns.
