basketball leagues other than nba in the US?

never knew there was so many, how good are these leagues compared to the NBA. I understand that any NBA would beat any given team from these other leagues, but can say the top d-1 teams beat these teams. Im talking about the CBA, ABA, USBL, IBL and whatever else there is out there.

Also, can anyone describe how these leagues came to be? There seems to be so many different leagues and they all seem to divide and break into other leagues. No sure what im asking here just some more information on the matter.

Update:

I see what your saying when your comparing it to the minor leagues, but that is what the developmental league is for. These leagues actually try making money as the current ABA has one owner who actually owned the ABA pre ABA/NBA merger. Even some of these teams have played against small European national teams and beat them.

    the league can also be used to get better and eventually play in the euroleague.
