The Las Vegas Silver Bandits were a team in the International Basketball League (IBL).

Jackie Robinson purchased the Silver Bandits in the spring of 2000.

Robinson achieved All-American and Hall of Fame status at UNLV, and went on to win an NBA World Championship with the 1979 Seattle SuperSonics.

In business, Robinson has spent the past twenty years building successful businesses in real estate, construction, credit, and in the food and beverage industries.

The IBL suffered from lack of interest and attendance and folded in 2001 with pressure from the NBA Development League.
