ABA RETURNS TO PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA
Indianapolis, IN. The American Basketball Association (ABA) www.abalive.com today announced that it will be returning to Pittsburgh PA next season after a several year hiatus. “Pittsburgh was a great ABA city under the leadership of former NBA/ABA legend Freddie Lewis from McKeesport,” stated Joe Newman, ABA CEO. “We’ve been looking for just the right owners to bring the team back – and in Antjuan “Tjuan Benafactor” Washington and “Ace” Pippens,” we think we have just the people to maximize the potential of the team. We are very excited to have Pittsburgh and Tjuan and Ace in the ABA.”
Tjuan is an elite emerging artist in the genres of hip hop/rap and R & B. His talent, passion and drive have helped Tjuan become a notable producer and award winning song writer; his creativity and business sense is extraordinary. His current hit single, Fly Wit Me featuring Project Pat is now being played in-flight by Virgin Airlines and is featured on countless mixtapes. On the road, Tjuan has headlined in cities across the country and he can be heard nationwide on radio.
