The basketball team rose to prominence in the years 1950–60. In 1970, the team won the championship of France thanks to players of exception like
Jean-Claude Bonato,
Dan Rodriguez and
Jacques Cachemire. At the beginning of the Eighties, Antibes suffered several disappointing seasons, but improved throughout the decade, and eventually won the
LNB Pro A title in 1991. At the beginning of the Nineties, Antibes regularly contended for titles alongside
Limoges CSP and
Pau-Orthez. In 1995, the club won a third national title before being plagued by financial problems. In 2002, in spite of finishing in a position that would have kept them safe from relegation, the club was dropped to
LNB Pro B for lack of financial guarantees. Antibes then went through difficult years in Pro B. Then, in 2006–07, the club were relegated from Pro B to the nominally amateur
Nationale 1. Although their 16th-place finish that season would normally have kept them safe from relegation, that season saw three teams relegated instead of the normal two because of a decision to reduce the number of teams in the top Pro A league. They would return to the professional ranks at the first opportunity, winning the Pro B crown in 2008. For the 2013 season, Antibes has new ambitions in a Pro B league where the other favourites are clubs like Pau-Orthez,
Hyères Toulon, two teams coming from Pro A, and
JL Bourg Basket. They end up in fifth place at the end of the regular season and win the play-offs against
Champagne Châlons Reims, synonym with a spot in the Pro A championship from next season. Yet in the following year, they finish bottom of the league with 6 wins and 24 defeats, and returned once more to the Pro B. During the 2014–2015 season, they finish 6th of the regular season, and win also the
B Leaders Cup, a victory that, as a matter of fact, guaranteed them a playoff spot. They win the playoffs against
Denain after having defeated
Nantes and
Le portel on their way to the final. Just one year after leaving the Pro A championship they earned the right to go back to the elite tier. ==Arenas==
