Basketball was introduced in Sweden in the 1890s. It rose to prominence in 1945, when refugees from Latvia formed JKS, Sweden’s first club. In 2009, Jonas Jerebko became the first Swedish player drafted into the NBA, by the Detroit Pistons. Visit Stockholm says basketball has been a mainstay in Sweden since the formation of JKS.
