'''Košarkaški klub Mega Basket''' ({{lang-sr-cyr|Кошаркашки клуб Мега Баскет}}), currently referred to as '''Mega Superbet''' for sponsorship reasons, is a men's professional [[basketball]] [[Sports club|club]] based in [[Belgrade]], Serbia. The club is a founding member and shareholder of the [[ABA League|Adriatic Basketball Association]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Company registration info: ABA LIGA j.t.d. |url=https://www.aba-liga.com/companyinfo.php |website=aba-liga.com |access-date=30 July 2019}}</ref>

In addition to Belgrade, the club also played its home games in [[Kruševac]] (2012–13 season), [[Smederevo]] (2013–14 season), and [[Sremska Mitrovica]] (2014–2019). The club participates in the [[Basketball League of Serbia|Serbian League]] (KLS) and the [[ABA League]].

==History==

=== The Avala Ada era (1998–2005) ===
'''KK Avala Ada''' ({{lang-sr-cyr|КК Авала Ада}}) was established on 23 December 1998 by a group of basketball enthusiasts, all employed at the Avala Ada [[Packaging and labeling|packaging]] factory located in the [[Viline Vode]] neighbourhood on the outskirts of Belgrade. Finally implemented in late 1998, the idea of launching a full-fledged basketball club within the state-owned factory's legal framework had been considered since summer 1995, initially on the heels of yet another participation of Avala Ada employees in basketball competitions at the Workers' Sporting Games (''Radničke sportske igre''; state-funded excursionary social, leisure, and [[team building]] gatherings featuring semi-formal sporting competitions for employees within various industries). Even prior to 1995, Avala Ada employees had regularly participated at the Workers' Sporting Games, continually placing high against basketball select squads of other factories/companies within the packaging industry in [[FR Yugoslavia]] and also earlier in pre-1992 [[SFR Yugoslavia]]. Though the idea of launching a more formal and permanent basketball program within the factory had been bandied around since 1995, the immediate catalyst for its late 1998 formation turned out to be the factory basketball team's notable showing at the 1998 Workers' Sporting Games in [[Divčibare]] several months earlier during summer 1998. Furthermore, having already secured a steady revenue and regular customer base allowed the company to financially support such a venture outside of its core business activity. Within months, Košarkaški klub Avala Ada (Avala Ada Basketball Club) was established as a legal entity within the Avala Ada sports society that was formed simultaneously.<ref name="mondo">{{cite web |title=Otišao "da pogine", pa osvojio Afriku!

With KK Avala Ada's management—club president Veljko Grujić and sporting director Velimir Mihailović—appointed from the factory employee ranks, coaching hires were made from outside the factory: young head coach [[Miodrag Perišić (basketball)|Miodrag "Miša" Perišić]] and his assistant Rade Orlović.<ref name="mondo"/><ref name="AvalaAda">{{cite web |title=Istorijat košarkaškog kluba "Mega Basket" Beograd |url=http://beoexcell.net/page/club/sr/clubHistory.html |website=beoexcell.net |access-date=10 July 2022}}</ref> Players on the roster were also a mix of factory's employees and outside acquisitions: the team's first captain was the factory's commercial director Bratislav Gajić.

The newly-established club started out in the lowest rank of the [[Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|FR Yugoslavia]] basketball system: Belgrade Municipal League, the so-called "[[Concrete]] League" (''Beton liga''), fifth tier of competition in the country. In the early summer of 1999, the club won the Belgrade Municipal League (played outdoors only during summer), thus qualifying for the Serbian Second League (4th-tier competition on the FR Yugoslavia basketball pyramid). Playing the 1999–2000 season in the fourth-tier Serbian Second League, the Perišić-coached club set an ambitious goal of gaining promotion on its first try and succeeded.<ref name="mondo"/><ref name="AvalaAda">{{cite web |title=Istorijat košarkaškog kluba "Mega Basket" Beograd |url=http://beoexcell.net/page/club/sr/clubHistory.html |website=beoexcell.net |access-date=10 July 2022}}</ref>

The 2000–01 season was played in the third-tier Serbian First League, finishing third and barely missing out on promotion. Head coach Miša Perišić left the club after eventful two and a half years, taking the offer from the Serbian First League rivals KK Nova Pazova. The following 2001–02 season, Avala Ada finished third again, failing to gain promotion to the higher rank. 

In the 2002–03 season, with Miša Perišić returning to the club as head coach, the club again missed promotion based on the league standing, however, it managed to qualify to the federal [[YUBA B League|First B League]] through playoffs in [[Novi Bečej]], beating [[OKK Vrbas|Vrbas]] and KK Zeta.<ref name="AvalaAda"/>

Playing its first season, 2003–04, in the country-wide federal rank in the second-tier First B League (Serbian group), Avala Ada finished third thus missing promotion to the top league. Also, in 2003, Avala Ada packaging factory (founded in 1946) was privatized after 57 years of public ownership.<ref>{{cite web |title=KAKO IZGLEDA CONTROLLING U FABRICI SMURFIT KAPPA (AVALA ADA)? |url=http://www.mcb.rs/blog/kako-izgleda-controlling-u-fabrici-smurfit-kappa-avala-ada/ |website=mcb.rs |date=15 September 2019 |access-date=25 July 2022}}</ref> Its new private owner Nebojša Šaranović was entirely not keen on continuing the financial support of a basketball club within his newly-acquired packaging factory asset and thus set about carving KK Avala Ada out of the factory's structure with the intention of selling it.

Before the start of the 2004–05 season, the most significant development in club's short history occurred—it was taken over by the [[Miško Ražnatović]]-owned [[BeoBasket]] sports agency.<ref name="AvalaAda"/>

=== The Mega Basket era (2005–present) ===
Based on their performance in the 2004–05 season, Avala Ada managed to gain promotion to the [[YUBA League|Serbia-Montenegro top-tier league]]. During the 2005–06 campaign, playing its first top flight season, the club changed its name to '''KK Mega Basket''' on 19 December 2005.<ref name="AvalaAda"/><ref>{{cite web |title=BC AVALA ADA CHANGED NAME TO BC MEGA ISHRANA |url=http://beoexcell.net/page/club/en/clubNews.html?view=story&id=9077&sectionId=14 |website=beoexcell.net |access-date=11 July 2022}}</ref> At the same time, it signed a sponsorship deal with the [[Smederevo]]-based Ishrana food company, leading to the club competing as '''Mega Ishrana''' until 2007.<ref name="AvalaAda"/> The team got relegated at the end of the 2005–06 season, however, the May 2006 [[2006 Montenegrin independence referendum|Montenegrin independence referendum]] that meant that Montenegro would become a fully independent state also resulted in the basketball league being re-organized and Mega Ishrana remaining in [[2006–07 Basketball League of Serbia|Serbia's top-tier basketball league]].

Later, also via a naming-rights sponsorship deal, the club was called '''Mega Aqua Monta''' for the [[2007–08 Basketball League of Serbia|2007–08 season]], and '''Mega Hypo Leasing''' in the [[2008–09 Basketball League of Serbia|2008–09 season]].

In August 2009, before the start of the [[2009–10 Basketball League of Serbia|2009–10 season]], another Belgrade-based club [[KK Vizura]] merged into KK Mega Hypo Leasing, and the club was renamed '''KK Mega Vizura'''. In November 2014, the club changed its name to '''Mega Leks''' due to sponsorship reasons.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mega Vizura postala Mega Leks |url=https://www.vijesti.me/sport/kosarka/208003/mega-vizura-postala-mega-leks |website=vijesti.me |access-date=17 August 2022}}</ref> In 2016, Mega Leks won its first trophy ever when it beat [[KK Partizan]] 86–80 in the [[2015–16 Radivoj Korać Cup|Serbian Cup Final]].<ref>[http://www.bcmegabasket.net/2016/02/22/istorijski-kup-koraca-za-megu/ ISTORIJSKI KUP KORAĆA ZA MEGU!] {{in lang|sr}}</ref> In 2017, the club changed its name to '''Mega Bemax''' due to sponsorship reasons.

On June 14, 2018, the club signed a contract on sports and technical cooperation with [[OKK Beograd]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Mega i OKK Beograd potpisali ugovor o saradnji |url=https://www.b92.net/sport/kosarka/vesti.php?yyyy=2018&mm=06&dd=14&nav_id=1404200 |website=b92.net |access-date=27 July 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=POTPISANA SARADNJA Megini talenti u OKK Beogradu |url=https://sport.blic.rs/kosarka/domaca-kosarka-i-aba/potpisana-saradnja-megini-talenti-u-okk-beogradu/wpnf3mh |website=sport.blic.rs |access-date=27 July 2018}}</ref> Later that summer, on August 11, 2018, the club played a pre-season preparation game under [[Rules of basketball|NCAA basketball rules]] against the most recent [[2018 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament]] Southern Regional semifinalist [[2018–19 Kentucky Wildcats men's basketball team|University of Kentucky men's basketball team]] at the [[Imperial Arena]] on [[Paradise Island]] in the [[Bahamas]], losing heavily 100–64.<ref>{{cite web |title=UK Basketball hammers Mega Bemax |url=https://www.aseaofblue.com/2018/8/11/17679780/uk-basketball-mega-bemax-highlights-box-score-game-mvp |website=aseaofblue.com |date=11 August 2018 |access-date=8 June 2021}}</ref> Some ten days later, on August 23, 2018, Mega played the [[2018–19 Michigan Wolverines men's basketball team|University of Michigan men's basketball team]], recent [[2018 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament]] runner-up, this time under [[Rules of basketball|FIBA rules]], in [[Sant Julià de Vilatorta]], [[Spain]] and winning 81–73.<ref>{{cite web |title=Michigan's rally falls short in exhibition loss to KK Mega Bemax |url=https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/2018/08/23/michigan-basketball-rally-falls-short-exhibition-loss-kk-mega-bemax/1077513002/ |website=[[The Detroit News]] |date=23 August 2018 |access-date=8 June 2021}}</ref>

As an organization focused primarily on showcasing its roster and providing a springboard platform for player transfers to bigger clubs in Europe and the NBA, in summer 2019, Mega continued the pre-season practice of travelling to the Bahamas to face off against top U.S. collegiate teams in preparatory games. This time, it was two games against the [[2019–20 Texas Tech Red Raiders basketball team|Texas Tech University basketball team]], most recently the [[2019 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament]] runner-up; Texas Tech won the first contest 94–92 on August 16, 2019 at Imperial Arena on Paradise Island while Mega won 73–76 four days later at the Kendal Isaacs Gymnasium.

On September 15, 2020, the club changed its name to '''Mega Soccerbet''' for the 2020–21 season due to sponsorship reasons.<ref>{{cite web |title=PROMENILI IME!
