The American Basketball Association (ABA) today announced that the Pontiac Pilots located in Pontiac, MI are set to begin play in November. “We are very pleased to have John Brennan and his team as a part of our record-setting expansion for the upcoming season,” stated Joe Newman, ABA CEO. “John has the perfect combination of business and sports experience to be very successful.”

John Brennan is Sales Manager of Klingelnberg America in Saline, MI and has 25+ years of international business experience in the machine tool industry. He is also a PBR Stock Contractor (Professional Bull Riders) and competes in PBR/CBR Million Dollar Team Challenges.

“With my experience in high level sports team ownership and management, it is an honor to bring an ABA basketball team to Pontiac,” added Brennan. “It is a very surreal experience for me personally since my childhood memories of professional basketball are the original ABA teams and players. Pontiac has a history of pro sports. I am looking forward to the inaugural season for the Pilots. Professionalism on and off the court will be paramount; the Pilots will be a team of which Pontiac will be proud.”
