Wikipedia - Denain Voltaire Basket
Denain Voltaire Basket is a French professional basketball club that was founded in 1947, and is based in Denain, France. The club plays in the LNB Pro B, which is the second-tier level pro competition in France.
History
The small club of the Voltaire school, moved up the French basketball hierarchy, until it reached the French basketball elite level in 1960, when it won the French Cup title. Five years later, the club won the top-level French League championship, with several players that had previously been Voltaire schoolchildren. In the late 1970s, the club gradually disappeared from the major French basketball landscape, before it began to once again climb up the French basketball ladder, and made it up to the French 2nd Division, for the 2011–12 season.
De club werd opgericht in 1953 en speelt haar thuiswedstrijden in het Palais des Sports Marcel Cerdan.
Denain heeft één keer de Franse beker gewonnen (in 2007) en heeft verder verschillende keren deelgenomen aan Europese toernooien, waaronder de EuroCup.
Enkele bekende spelers die voor Denain hebben gespeeld zijn:
* Jérémy Leloup
* Thomas Heurtel
* Amara Sy
* Damien Inglis
* CJ Wallace
