1947–48 Baltimore Bullets season
The 1947–48 Baltimore Bullets season was the Bullets' first season in the Basketball Association of America which would later be named the NBA. They played their first three seasons in the American Basketball League in its last few seasons as a professional basketball league that rivaled the BAA and the National Basketball League, making this their fourth professional basketball season in franchise history. This season marked their second overall championship after previously winning the 1946 ABL Championship over the Philadelphia Sphas. In the 1947–48 season, the Bullets won their only BAA/NBA championship with a 4–2 series win over the defending champion Philadelphia Warriors. There were also additional talks between the younger BAA and the older NBL where the champions of the BAA and the champions of the NBL competing to see who would be the ultimate champions between the two leagues, but that ultimately would never happen, especially once the Lakers joined the Rochester Royals, Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons, and Indianapolis Kautskys as one of four NBL teams to move to the BAA by the end of the season. With their departure from the NBA during the 1954–55 season, the Baltimore Bullets are currently considered the only defunct NBA team to ever win a championship under the BAA/NBA name. The 1947-48 Bullets would go on to join the Chicago Stags from the 1946–47 season and the Washington Capitols from the 1948–49 season as the only BAA/NBA teams to close operations after competing in a BAA/NBA Finals championship series.
Draft picks
Despite the Baltimore Bullets not originally playing in the Basketball Association of America during its inaugural season, the Bullets were allowed to participate in the inaugural BAA draft after two of their inaugural teams in the Cleveland Rebels and Detroit Falcons dropped out of the BAA due to Baltimore having a major dispute with the original American Basketball League during their playoff period and subsequently wanting to join the newly created BAA in the process. As a result of that, the Bullets held the last selections of each round due to them having the best record of every team involved in the BAA at this time despite them playing their previous season in the original ABL, though official records of this draft outside of the first round in terms of ordering are currently unknown at this time.| Round | Pick | Player | Position | Nationality | College |
