History

Unicaja was founded in the year 1992 as a merger of the two ACB teams in the city:

CB Caja de Ronda
CB Maristas

The club won its first championship, the Korać Cup in the year 2001. They then won the Spanish King's Cup championship in the year 2005. The next year in 2006, Unicaja won its first-ever Spanish Championship.

In October 2007, Unicaja faced the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies in a friendly match, defeating them 102-99. This is one of the few times an NBA team has lost to an overseas club. The Grizzlies' team contained Pau Gasol and Juan Carlos Navarro, two of the greatest Spanish basketball players.^[1]

The club has over the years featured players like Nacho Rodríguez, Berni Rodríguez, Carlos Cabezas, Jorge Garbajosa, Marcus Brown, Sergei Babkov, Michael Ansley, Louis Bullock, Kenny Miller, and others. In 2007, Unicaja finished in third place in the Euroleague competition, marking the club's best ever Euroleague season to that point.

Unicaja has also a reserve team playing in LEB Oro, the Spanish second division. It's called Clínicas Rincón Benahavís and play its games in Benahavís.
