* The Duquesne Duke in Feb 2007 -- If professional basketball is ever to be successful in Pittsburgh, a permanent home must be found for the Xplosion. With Pittsburgh unlikely to ever be in consideration for an NBA team, minor league basketball can survive in Pittsburgh, but not in the cavernous Mellon Arena. Be it a court in the Convention Center or games in a smaller venue (Hello, A.J. Palumbo Center), a change must be made.

* Xplosion will host All-Star Game Tribune-Review The Pittsburgh Xplosion announced during a news conference Monday that the city will host the 2008 Continental Basketball Association All-Star Game at Mellon Arena. The Xplosion has made strides, starting with its inaugural season in 2005. The team advanced to the American Basketball Association playoffs last year before falling in the second round. This season, the Xplosion joined the CBA and signed a few noteworthy players in the offseason, such as West Virginia standout Kevin Pittsnogle.
