Grand Rapids Tackers T-Shirt (Premium Lightweight)

The Grand Rapids Tackers, based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, were a minor-league team that played in the Midwest Professional Basketball League, the North American Basketball League and, from 1969, a small Midwest version of the Continental Basketball Association. They won three titles in the North American league, in 1965, 1966 and 1968.

In the Continental league, the Tackers took the championship in 1973 and 1974, beating the Lake County Lakers 140-134 in the 1973 title game. Steve Mix, who averaged 31.1 points that season, later played in the big leagues. The league folded after 1974, and the Tackers appear to have gone with it.
