The Jacksonville Giants: Where Did Those Winning Ways Go?
Ah, the Jacksonville Giants. A name that once struck fear into the hearts of ABA opponents, a team that racked up championships like a squirrel stockpiles nuts for winter. But these days, things are a bit quieter on the Giants front. Fear not, fellow basketball aficionados, for this is not a eulogy, but a mystery to be unraveled, with a dash of humor thrown in for good measure.

| What Happened To The Jacksonville Giants |
From Humble Beginnings to Championship Heights
The Giants burst onto the scene in 2010, fresh-faced and ready to rumble. Led by the legendary coach (and owner at the time) Kevin Waters, they quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Seven ABA National Championships later, it's safe to say they weren't messing around. They were scoring machines, defensive dynamos, and the toast of Jacksonville.
So, What Happened? Did They Get Swept Away by a Rogue Wave of Basketballs?
Not quite as dramatic as that, thankfully. The truth is, the ABA landscape itself shifted. In 2024, a new team called the Jacksonville 95ers entered the arena, led by none other than Coach Waters himself. Did the Giants disband in a tearful farewell ceremony? More like they gracefully (and strategically) opted to focus on other endeavors.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
Where are the Giants Now? Are They Living in Witness Protection with New Identities?
Not exactly. The Giants organization is still around, but they've taken a bit of a back seat. There's always the possibility of a glorious return, but for now, they're content to be the sleeping giants (pun intended) of Jacksonville basketball.
