Genealogies

These are the franchise lineage of present PBA teams (present to oldest):

These are the franchise lineage of defunct PBA teams (oldest to latest):

All records of a franchise cease after it is acquired by a new company, except for:

Air21 Express and Barako Bull Energy records

A unique situation regarding the Air21 Express' team records occurred before the start of the 2011–12 season when the Lina Group of Companies acquired the Red Bull/Barako Bull PBA franchise from Photokina Marketing Corporation (along with the "Barako Bull" brand). This team was renamed as the Shopinas.com Clickers. At the same time, the Fedex/Air21/Burger King franchise was renamed "Barako Bull Energy". After the dismal performance of Shopinas.com during the Philippine Cup, the Lina Group decided to rename the team as Air21 Express.

After the two franchises switched names in 2012, the Shopinas.com/Air21 team was now considered as a new team. The team records and transaction history of its predecessor, FedEx/Air21/Burger King, were transferred to the new Barako Bull team. The lineage, team records and championships of the Red Bull/Barako Bull team were not carried over to either of the two franchises, except for the transaction history involving trades which were carried over to the Shopinas.com/Air21 team, following several precedents (the franchise acquisitions between Shell-Welcoat, Sta. Lucia-Meralco and Powerade-GlobalPort).

To create a distinction between the two Air21 franchises, the original is abbreviated as "AIR21" and the second one as "AIR21X" in the official PBA annual, Hardcourt. In some instances, the team records of the original Air21 franchise is "shared" with the second Air21 franchise. An example would be during the jersey retirement of Vergel Meneses – although he played for the original Air21 franchise, his jersey was retired by the second Air21 franchise.
