History

[edit]

Since the basketball section was founded in 1948,Śląsk Wrocław has been the most decorated and most recognizable club in Polish basketball. The team has won the Polish league championships 18 times so far. Most recognized period of Śląsk's history is the "Great Śląsk Era" when the team won five championship titles in a row (1998–2002).

Most of those successes where achieved with coachAndrej Urlep. The notable players playing for Śląsk Wrocław over the years were:Mieczysław Łopatka (1960s),Edward Jurkiewicz (1970s and 1980s),Jerzy Binkowski (1980s, 1990s),Dariusz Zelig (1980s, 1990s),Maciej Zieliński (1980s, 1990s, 2000s),Adam Wójcik andDominik Tomczyk.

In 2008 the club has gone into serious financial difficulties, which resulted in withdrawing the team from Polish Basketball League. After years of rebuilding attempts, the club is now back playing in the Polish Basketball League top division.[1][2]

In the2020–21 PLK season, the team finished third. Śląsk defeatedLegia Warszawa 86:85 in overtime of the decisive game 3 of the bronze medal series. The result exceeded expectations as it was the club's first league podium finish in 11 years. Key players of that team includedAleksander Dziewa,Kyle Gibson,Elijah Stewart andStrahinja Jovanović.[3]

Thefollowing season the club returned to the top of the domestic competition becoming Polish champions, twenty years after the last championship won in 2002.Travis Trice won MVP awards for both the regular season and the finals.
