History

KK Partizan was the European champion in 1992 with curiosity of winning the title, although playing all but one of the games (vs. Knorr) on foreign grounds due to UN sanctions.

Great players

Partizan has one of the best basketball schools in Europe. In the past, many of Pastizan's players achieved world fame, such as Hall of fame member Dražen Dalipagić, former NBA player Vlade Divac, and European legends Saša Đorđević, Predrag Danilović, Žarko Paspalj, Dragan Kićanović, Željko Rebrača, and Dejan Tomašević. Many others have played and won all that is to be won in Europe. Now, Partizan is still known for growing great youngsters, but the financial situation does not allow the club to achieve formal fame, and youngsters, after they are recognized, go abroad in bigger and richer clubs.
