Wikipedia - BC Pärnu
BC Pärnu, also known as Pärnu Sadam (English: Port of Pärnu) for sponsorship reasons, is a professional basketball club based in Pärnu, Estonia. The team plays in the Estonian-Latvian Basketball League and the Korvpalli Meistriliiga (KML). Their home arena is the Pärnu Sports Hall. In 2022, the team won their first and only KML title.
History
Korvpalliklubi Pärnu (English: Basketball Club Pärnu) was founded in 2000. In 2006, the team joined the Korvpalli Meistriliiga (KML), the top tier of Estonian basketball. They also made their debut in the Baltic Basketball League (BBL) in 2012. On 12 July 2017, KK Pärnu announced that they will withdraw from the forthcoming KML season due to financial difficulties. However, the team would stay in the KML after reaching an agreement with KK Paulus.
In 2018, the Estonian-Latvian Basketball League was formed. Pärnu Sadam reached the playoffs in the league's inaugural season, where they lost to BK Ventspils in the quarterfinals. In the 2019 KML Playoffs, Pärnu Sadam defeated AVIS UTILITAS Rapla in the quarterfinals, but lost to BC Kalev/Cramo in the semifinals. In the third-place games, they defeated TalTech. Pärnu Sadam made the KML Finals for the first time in team history in 2021. However, they could not overcome BC Kalev/Cramo and lost the series three games to one. The team finished the 2021–22 Estonian-Latvian Basketball League season in third place. They lost 81–83 to KK Viimsi/Sportland in the semifinal but beat BK Ogre 84–77 in the third place game. In the 2022 KML Playoffs, Pärnu Sadam defeated AVIS UTILITAS Rapla the quarterfinals and the defending champion BC Kalev/Cramo in the semifinals to advance to the finals for the second consecutive year. They swept Tartu Ülikool Maks & Moorits in three games to win their first Estonian championship. Andris Misters was named the KML Finals MVP.
Heiko Rannula, who had coached the team since 2014, left Pärnu after the 2021–22 season to join BC Kalev/Cramo. After failing to qualify for the Champions League, the team played in the FIBA Europe Cup, but didn't advance past the regular season. Pärnu Sadam were unable to defend their KML title, falling in the semifinals to Tartu Ülikool Maks & Moorits. They did, however, beat Viimsi/Sportland in the third-place series.
Parnu werd opgericht in 1964 en speelt sinds het begin van de jaren 1990 in de Korvpalli Meistriliiga. Het team won zijn eerste kampioenschap in 1993 en heeft sindsdien nog negen kampioenschappen gewonnen, waarvan de laatste in 2019. Parnu heeft ook vijf keer de Estse beker gewonnen.
Een aantal bekende Estse basketbalspelers heeft voor Parnu gespeeld, waaronder Gert Kullamäe, Heiko Rannula en Martin Dorbek. Het team staat bekend om zijn snelle, offensieve speelstijl.
Parnu is een van de meest populaire basketbalteams in Estland en heeft een trouwe schare fans. Het team is ook een van de meest succesvolle Estse teams in Europese competities. Parnu heeft verschillende keren de Baltic Basketball League gewonnen en heeft ook deelgenomen aan de FIBA Europe Cup.
