The 1946–47 Chicago Stags season was the first season of the Chicago Stags of the Basketball Association of America (BAA/NBA). Before this season even began, the Chicago Stags were originally meant to start out as the Chicago Atomics, to the point of even playing an exhibition game against the New York Knicks under that moniker before they later played as the Chicago Basketball Club, Inc. for one more exhibition game before they officially became the Chicago Stags for the rest of their existence onward. Despite the tumultuous start with the team name in mind, the Stags would still finish with the best record in the Western Division with a 39–22 record, later reaching as far as the inaugural BAA/NBA Finals series, where they would ultimately lose to the Philadelphia Warriors 4–1. Despite their successful results as a team, they were initially undecided about whether they would play for another season or not due to their failure to gain any profits and traction over competing championship basketball events going on at around the same time as the 1947 BAA Finals within the city of Chicago with the Chicago American Gears of the rivaling National Basketball League (NBL) competing against the Rochester Royals in the 1947 NBL Finals and the 1947 World Professional Basketball Tournament (WPBT), though they ultimately would decide to stay in the BAA once they heard that the inner city rivaling Chicago American Gears were leaving the NBL to create a short-lived, yet very ambitious rivaling league of their own called the Professional Basketball League of America. The Stags ultimately stayed in the BAA/NBA for four years before later suddenly folding operations with little warning on September 25, 1950 due to new ownership and monetary issues; the Stags are currently one of three BAA/NBA teams that folded operations to have made it to a BAA/NBA Finals championship series alongside the original Baltimore Bullets ABL/BAA/NBA franchise in 1948 and the Washington Capitols in 1949.
