Why is "1947 BAA draft" trending?

Wikipedia Overview

The 1947 BAA draft was the first ever draft of the Basketball Association of America (BAA), which later merged with the National Basketball League (NBL) to become the National Basketball Association (NBA). The fledgling BAA held this draft as a joint draft with the established NBL. The BAA first discussed the idea of creating a draft system similar to the NFL draft back on January 1947 during league meetings held in New York, with each team being given territorial pick rights to one player each year from schools in a 50 mile radius. However, both leagues wanted to control salaries by stamping out competitive bidding between the two leagues from college players that may or may not have been returning home from World War II by assigning exclusive rights to the team selecting a player. Before the BAA's draft began, the NBL had already signed eleven players that had already graduated from college, all of whom the NBL did not feel like they should be exposed to the BAA's draft system on display. The players in question included college stars Jack Smiley and Ralph Hamilton going to the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons works team, Harry Boykoff going to the Toledo Jeeps, and John Hargis, Frank Brian, and Charlie Black going to the Anderson Duffey Packers works team. As a trade-off, the BAA teams were allowed to select players early on before the NBL did. Including the NBL's draft side of things, the overall draft program would have included 100 players drafted between the two leagues.
