history

In the 2015/16 season, two Düsseldorf clubs played in the fourth-class Regionalliga West : the promoted ART Düsseldorf and the Giants Düsseldorf. With the aim of bundling basketball efforts in the city, it was decided at the end of the season to found a syndicate. This created an association with around 550 members. The declared aim of those responsible was to become a "new basketball player on the Rhine" with the gaming community. This project should include the promotion of youth performance and, in the medium term, the advancement of the men's team to "paid basketball". Participation in the basketball league was issued as a long-term project .

Robert Shepherd took over in the first season 2016/17 in the first Regional League West as coach in mid-January 2017 Shepherd was released after five defeats in a row, which was succeeded Jonas Jönke , by then sports director of the SG on. As an eighth of the table, the target for the first game year among the five best teams in the 1st Regionalliga West was missed. As of December 31, 2017, the SG ART Giants Düsseldorf was the ninth largest basketball club within the German Basketball Federation with 520 participant IDs . In the following season, the team managed to improve the previous year's result with sixth place in the table.

In the 2018/19 game year, the team achieved promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga ProB as champions of the 1st Regionalliga West . The mainstays of the master team of coach Jönke included the US-American De'Shaun Cooper (15.4 points / game), Jamal Smith (US-American and Dutch citizen; 14.3 points / game) and the Lithuanian Dainius Zvinklys (13 , 7 points / game) and Mindaugas Reminas (10.2 points / game) and the German-American Deion Giddens (9.0 points / game).

In March 2019, the Düsseldorf-based company agreed to work with SG Südwest Baskets Wuppertal, among other things to promote the promotion of young talent. After the Dusseldorf had won only two of their previous ten games and slipped to tenth place in the 2nd Bundesliga ProB, split in January 2020 according to the club "due to different views on the sporting reaction" to the table situation of coach Jönke. Jönke's successor was Kevin Magdowski . The 2019/20 season, which ended prematurely in mid-March 2020 due to the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus , ended the team as penultimate of the ProB northern relay. On the part of the league, however, it was decided that there would be no relegation due to the shortened season.
