history
The basketball departments of the two predecessor clubs TSV 1860 Munich and USC Munich were long-time members of the Basketball Bundesliga, group south, before the merger. TSV 1860 was a founding member of the two-tier basketball league BBL in 1966 and was relegated and promoted twice. The USC rose in 1967 and remained first class until the syndicate. The trigger for the unification was the introduction of the single-track Bundesliga in 1975. As a result, the first team of the new SG entered the first Bundesliga; the second team was a founding member of the second Bundesliga (group south) introduced in the same year. The first Bundesliga could be held until 1977, the second until 1989.
At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, two Bundesliga players from USC Munich (in 1971 the basketball players from USC Munich, who was then coached by Head Coach Laszlo 'Lazi' Lakfalvi (†), were in the final of the German basketball championship of the DBB.) Olympic team of the Federal German National Olympic Committee (NOK), Holger Geschwindner and Rainer Pethran. The two Munich national players had been part of the '1972 Olympic squad' of the DBB , together with the national players Helmut Uhlig and Jürgen Wohlers , who were part of the USC Munich Bundesliga team in the 1969/70 and 1970/71 season , since October 1968 .
Subsequently, the team rose to the league. In 1994 the syndicate was dissolved and the independent association München Basket was founded. From 1996 it carried the suffix KICKZ , after the main sponsor - a sporting goods retailer owned by a former player of the team. In 1997, under a new name and with new goals, he was promoted back to the regional league; since 2006 the team has been part of the 2nd Bundesliga again. After qualifying for the 2nd Bundesliga Pro B , the team started a season without a name sponsor. In 2008/2009 they called themselves Telemotive Munich after the automotive supplier Telemotive AG . On May 29, 2009, the team announced their withdrawal from the 2nd basketball division .
The women's team was five-time cup winners and in 1992 was spun off into the Lotus München Meister club . In the meantime, the women only played in the top division. After the new start in 1994, the Munich Basket played in the 2nd women's basketball league from 1996 to 2004 . At the end of the 2006/2007 season, MTSV Schwabing announced the withdrawal of its women's team from the 1st women's basketball league . The coach of the Munich first division team, Bastian Wernthaler , and the Munich Baskets were able to create a budget for the women's basketball Bundesliga team through efforts by sponsors, patrons and donors, take over the license rights for the 1st Bundesliga from MTSV Schwabing and thus ensure that it will also be 1. Bundesliga women's basketball in Munich. In the 2007/2008 season, the Munich Baskets team reached 8th place and was eliminated in the quarter-final play-offs against the German series champion TSV 1880 Wasserburg. For the 2008/09 season, Munich Basket gave back the license for the women's Bundesliga, however, because there were problems with financing.
