'''Westports Malaysia Dragons''' are a professional [[basketball]] team based in [[Kuala Lumpur]], [[Malaysia]] that currently plays in the [[ASEAN Basketball League]]. It also played as the Blustar Detergent Dragons at the [[PBA Developmental League]] in 2016. |
|||
== History == |
|||
In their first year of existence, they were known as the KL Dragons before becoming the Westports KL Dragons after a sponsorship deal with [[West Port, Malaysia|Westports]]. Before the [[2012 ABL season|2012 season]], the team became the Westports Malaysia Dragons. |
|||
Malaysia has made the ABL semifinals in all of its first four seasons in the league but lost all four times in the semi-finals: the [[AirAsia Philippine Patriots]] in its first two semi-finals appearances, the [[San Miguel Beermen (ABL)|San Miguel Beermen]] in its third year, and to the [[Indonesia Warriors]] in its fourth semi-final appearance. But, in the [[2014 ABL season|2014 season]], the Dragons made it all the way to the finals before losing to [[Hi-Tech Bangkok City]] in the finals. |
|||
In 2011, the Dragons was the ABL representative in the [[2011 FIBA Asia Champions Cup]] held in the Philippines after the champion [[Chang Thailand Slammers]] failed to make it because of a suspension by FIBA. KL failed to win a single game in the tourney. |
|||
The team won the [[2015 ABL season|2015-16 ASEAN Basketball League]] season and qualify for the [[2016 FIBA Asia Champions Cup]]. They entered the [[2016 PBA D-League Foundation Cup]] under the name Blustar Detergent Dragons.<ref>{{cite web|author1=Kng Zheng Guan|title=Dragons set to play in Philippines developmental league - and a new name to boot|url=http://www.thestar.com.my/sport/basketball/2016/05/17/dragons-to-play-in-philippines-dev-league/|publisher=The Star|date=17 May 2016|accessdate=17 May 2016}}</ref>The Dragons again failed to win a single game in the tourney.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kldragons.com/2016/10/form-dragons-lost-xinjiang-flying-tigers-60-124/|title=Out of form Dragons lost to Xinjiang Flying Tigers, 60-124|publisher=KL Dragons Website|date=13 October 2016|accessdate=9 March 2018}}</ref> |
