Also known as the Albatrosse, Berlin's basketball club is Germany's most successful, and has the largest fanbase; home matches easily attract 10,000 spectators. Since going pro in 1991, Alba has won the German League eight times and the German Cup seven times. Alba Berlin’s wait for another Bundesliga goes on, with another runner’s up spot secured in 2018/19. That heartbreak was overshadowed by the team’s historic run to the final of the EuroCup, where Alba fell short against Valencia in a three-game series. So the cabinet remains untouched heading into the 19/20 season, but the exploits of last year have given the supporters hope. Will this be the year of the Albatrosse?
