Košarkaški klub Šibenik, commonly referred to as KK Šibenik or simply Šibenik, was a men's professional basketball club based in Šibenik, Croatia. It was considered one of the best Croatian basketball clubs. In 2010, KK Šibenik bankrupted and was dissolved.
The club was founded on 27 December 1973[1] under the name Šibenka. During six seasons altogether club managed to qualify for the Yugoslav First Basketball League, then one of the best leagues in Europe. In 1983 Šibenka won the Yugoslav Championship final game against Bosna, but was later controversially stripped of the title. Two seasons in a row, 1982 and 1983, Šibenka played the finals of the Korać Cup but were defeated in both occasions by French side Limoges.
The club was famous for its youth academy which produced a lot of great players, greatest among them being the late Dražen Petrović, arguably the best European basketball player of all time.
In October 2010 the club was dissolved due to overwhelming financial problems. Currently, there are three basketball clubs in Šibenik - KK Jolly, GKK Šibenik and KK Dražen Petrović, but neither of them is considered a legal successor of the legendary KK Šibenik.
