Paris Basket Racing, or PBR, was a French professional basketball club from Paris. It was founded in 1922, as the basketball section of the multi-sports club Racing Club de Paris. The team took the name "Paris Basket Racing" in 2000. In 2007, the club merged with another club from the Paris area, Levallois Sporting Club Basket, to form the current version of the club, known first as Paris-Levallois Basket, and later as Levallois Metropolitans and Metropolitans 92.
History
Paris Basket Racing won three French national championships in the 1950s, in the 1950–51, 1952–53, and 1953–54 seasons, then won a French Pro A title in the 1996–97 season.
In 2007, the club merged with another club from the Paris area, Levallois Sporting Club Basket, to form the club's newest incarnation, Paris-Levallois Basket. After the merger, Paris-Levallois Basket retained all of the history of both Paris Basket Racing and Levallois Sporting Club Basket. Paris-Levallois Basket was then renamed Levallois Metropolitans in 2017, and Metropolitans 92 in 2019.
In 2025, there were numerous announcements that owners of football club PSG want to refound basketball section to join NBA Europe League project.
