Košarkarski Klub Plama Pur (English: Plama Pur Basketball Club) is basketball club located in Ilirska Bistrica, Slovenija. It currently competes in Slovenian Second Basketball League.

History

The club was founded in 1956 as a basketball section of TVD Partizan Ilirska Bistrica. It was renamed to KK Lesonit in 1962. KK Lesonit managed to win the Slovenian Republic League in 1964 and qualify to Yugoslav First Federal Basketball League. In the 1965 season of the Yugoslav First League, KK Lesonit managed to win only once, against KK Rabotnički Skopje, finishing season in last place with 1 win and 21 loses in 22 games. After being relegated from Yugoslav First League, KK Lesonit played another three seasons in Yugoslav Second League before being relegated back to Slovenian Republic League in 1969. The club ceased to operate in the eighties, when basketball moved to indoor arenas and Ilirska Bistrica did not have the adequate facilities. It was refounded in 1996 and is now named KK Plama Pur Ilirska Bistrica for sponsorship reasons. The club competed in 3.SKL-West league until 2013, when it was promoted to the Slovenian Second Basketball League. In the 2013–14 Slovenian Second League season Plama Pur finished second, qualifying for playoffs to Premier A Slovenian Basketball League. Plama Pur finished playoffs in the last place with score 0–4, concluding two loses against KK Šentjur and KK Elektra Šoštanj, respectively. In the 2014–15 season, Plama Pur finished seventh, barely escaping relegation playoffs with a last round win over KK Celje, which sent Celje into Slovenian Second League relegation playoffs. Before the start of the 2015–16 Slovenian Second League season, Martin Novak resigned after five years as head coach. He was replaced by Grega Nachbar, younger brother of basketball player Boštjan Nachbar.
