Basketball Bundesliga was the second level league of the German professional basketball league system. Until the 2007–08 season, the 2. Basketball Bundesliga was replaced by two geographical divisions (North and South). Since 2007 the 2. Basketball Bundesliga now consists of two leagues, ProA and ProB. At the end of each season, the top two teams of the ProA are promoted to the Basketball Bundesliga, and the teams positioned 15th and 16th are relegated to the ProB.zweite-basketball-bundesliga.de History On May 3, 1974, the DBB Bundestag in Cologne decided, with only three votes against, to introduce the single-tier Basketball Bundesliga and the two-tier 2nd Bundesliga starting with the 1975-76 season. Since then, the league has been the second highest division in German basketball (below the BBL which has existed since 1966). It was divided into two divisions (North and South), each with 16 teams. In the 2007-08 season, the 2nd BBL was restructured into a Germany-wide league and divided into two independent leagues (ProA and ProB). It was restructured to professionalize the clubs, increase the level of play and make promotion to the Basketball Bundesliga easier.
