The Pittsburgh Pirates were an American professional basketball team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The team was one of the thirteen founding members of the National Basketball League (NBL), which formed in 1937. However, their early history began as far back as 1931 due to them being founded from their local Young Men's Hebrew Association, later being a founding team for the Midwest Basketball Conference, a precursor to the National Basketball League.
