Košarkaški klub Šibenik (English: Šibenik Basketball Club) was a professional basketball club based in Šibenik, Croatia. It was considered one of the best Croatian basketball. In 2010 KK Šibenik bankrupted and was dissolved.
History
The club was founded in 1973 under the name Šibenka (Šibenik's). In only six seasons club managed to qualify for Yugoslav Basketball League, then one of the best leagues in the world. In 1983 Šibenka won controversial Yugoslav Championship final against KK Bosna but they were later unfairly stripped of the title. Two seasons in a row, 1981/82 and 1982/83, Šibenka were finalist of Korać Cup but were defeated in both occasions by French side CSP Limoges.
Club was famous for its youth academy which produced a lot of great players, greatest among them being late Dražen Petrović, arguably the best European basketball player of all time.
In October 2010 the club was dissolved due to overwhelming financial problems. Currently, there are three basketball clubs in Šibenik - KK Jolly, GKK Šibenik and KK Dražen Petrović, but non of them is considered legal successor of legendary KK Šibenik.
