Wikipedia - Kuala Lumpur Dragons
The Kuala Lumpur Dragons are a professional basketball team based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia that currently plays in the ASEAN Basketball League. They also played as the Blustar Detergent Dragons in the Philippines' PBA Developmental League in 2016.
History
In their first year of existence, they were known as the KL Dragons before becoming the Westports KL Dragons after a sponsorship deal with Westports. Before the 2012 season, the team became the Westports Malaysia Dragons.
Malaysia has made the ABL semifinals in all of its first four seasons in the league but lost all four times in the semi-finals: the AirAsia Philippine Patriots in its first two semi-finals appearances, the San Miguel Beermen in its third year, and to the Indonesia Warriors in its fourth semi-final appearance. But, in the 2014 season, the Dragons made it all the way to the finals before losing to Hi-Tech Bangkok City in the finals.
In 2011, the Dragons was the ABL representative in the 2011 FIBA Asia Champions Cup held in the Philippines after the champion Chang Thailand Slammers failed to make it because of a suspension by FIBA. KL failed to win a single game in the tourney.
The team won the 2015–16 ASEAN Basketball League season and qualify for the 2016 FIBA Asia Champions Cup. They entered the 2016 PBA D-League Foundation Cup under the name Blustar Detergent Dragons. The Dragons again failed to win a single game in the tourney.
The team changed its name to the Kuala Lumpur Dragons for the 2019–20 ASEAN Basketball League season.
Die Dragons wurden 2016 gegründet und sind nach dem Hauptsponsor Westports Holdings, einem Hafenbetreiber in Malaysia, benannt. Das Team wird von Trainer Chris Thomas geleitet, einem ehemaligen Spieler der australischen Nationalmannschaft.
Die Dragons haben eine starke Aufstellung mit Spielern aus Malaysia, den Vereinigten Staaten und anderen Ländern. Zu den wichtigsten Spielern gehören der malaysische Nationalspieler Wong Wai Hong, der amerikanische Flügelspieler Justin Hurtt und der australische Center Liam Flynn.
In ihrer Debütsaison in der ABL 2017 erreichten die Dragons die Playoffs, schieden aber im Viertelfinale aus. Im folgenden Jahr erreichten sie erneut die Playoffs, verloren aber im Halbfinale.
Die Dragons sind ein ehrgeiziges Team, das den malaysischen Basketball auf die nächste Stufe heben will. Sie verfügen über eine talentierte Aufstellung und einen erfahrenen Trainer und sind entschlossen, in der ABL erfolgreich zu sein.
