History

OKK Beograd made most of its achievements during a so-called 'golden era' - a period between 1957 and 1965. The key players of this generation were Radivoj Korać, Slobodan Gordić, Bogomir Rajković, Trajko Rajković, Miodrag Nikolić and Milorad Erkić who would later be the coach of the women's squad, and longtime coordinator of the OKK youth program. They developed under the guidance of coaches Borislav Stanković and Aleksandar Nikolić and team director Radomir Šaper, and went on to win six national trophies and achieve high results in European competitions. In less than a decade, OKK Beograd won four Yugoslav League championships; in 1958, 1960, 1963 and 1964, accompanied by two Yugoslav Cups in 1960 and 1962. The club also reached the semifinals of a European Champions Cup on three occasions, but failed to reach the finals, losing to Academic Sofia in 1959, Spartak Brno in 1964 and Real Madrid in 1965. After 1965, the core of the team went abroad and the results dropped. However, the club did reach the finals of the first-ever Korać Cup in 1972 but lost to another Yugoslav club, Cibona (known at the time as Lokomotiva). Although OKK Beograd remained among the top Serbian and Yugoslav teams, the next trophy was not won until 1993, with the victory in the Yugoslav Cup.

On June 14, 2018, the club signed a contract on sports and technical cooperation with Adriatic League team Mega Basket.{{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}}{{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}}
