Where the subject is great teams in the cradle of European basketball, the name of Red Star Belgrade is always part of the discussion. As one of the most-crowned teams in the former Yugoslavia, Red Star has always commanded attention wherever it plays. The club was founded in 1945 and immediately dominated a country that would soon claim basketball as its main sport. For an entire decade, from 1946 to 1955, Red Star won 10 straight titles and assured its place in the history books. With basketball's rise in popularity came plenty challengers, and Red Star waited until 1972 for the next domestic title, then 21 years again for another. But of all the great clubs who won in the interim, to this day none can claim so many titles as Red Star. There were also a European title, the 1974 Saporta Cup, and three Yugoslav national cups to boast. And Red Star keeps going strong, last season making the semifinals in the both the Adriatic League and the YUBA League. In the summer of 2002, the club had hired as technical director Zmago Sagadin, one of Europe's most innovative coaches. Together with coach Alexandar Trifunovic, he put together a young talent and veterans who proved the right mix to return the name of Red Star to the lips of basketball followers everywhere. With a build-up of young talent and a re-launched purpose, the glory days are never too far away for Red Star Belgrade.
