Celebrate a unique chapter in North Carolina's basketball history with our Asheville Altitude North Carolina Basketball T-shirt. This eye-catching tee pays homage to a team that briefly brought the excitement of professional basketball to the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains.
The Asheville Altitude were part of the NBA Development League (now known as the G League), serving as a minor league affiliate for NBA teams from 2001 to 2005. Based in Asheville, North Carolina, the Altitude played their home games at the Asheville Civic Center. During their short but impactful tenure, the team provided a platform for up-and-coming players and brought high-level basketball to Western North Carolina.
Despite their relatively brief existence, the Altitude achieved notable success, winning the NBDL championship in 2004. The team's departure in 2005 due to league restructuring makes this shirt a coveted item for basketball enthusiasts and collectors of North Carolina sports memorabilia.
