History

Created in 1982, following the merger of clubs "AS Paillade" and "Juvignac", the club was taken over by Louis Nicollin in the mid 80s and became the basketball section of Montpellier Paillade Sports Club (MPSC). In 1989, under pressure from the municipality, the section takes its autonomy under the name Montpellier Basketball and now plays in blue and white. The club will then take the appellation Montpellier Paillade Basketball to emphasize its roots in the district of Paillade where is the Palace of Pierre de Coubertin sports.
