The '''Chicago Throwbacks''' were a team of the [[Premier Basketball League]] that begin play in fall 2007. Their home arena was Attack Athletics on Chicago's West Side.<br />
<br />
They were originally part of the [[American Basketball Association (2000–present)|American Basketball Association]] for the first part of the 2007–08 season, playing alongside their intra-city rivals the [[Cicero Cometas USA]] and the South Chi-Land Infernos. When the Infernos never began play and the Cometas folded, the Throwbacks were left to play several games against exhibition teams that happened to count in the standings.<br />
<br />
A second chance at stability came when the Chicago Aztecas of the PBL shut down and the PBL needed a replacement team. The Throwbacks took that opportunity and played in the PBL's inaugural season in its Central Division.<br />
