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 consecutive French national championships, in the 1950–51, 1952–53, and 1953–54 seasons, plus 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,
