Bashkimi, or K.B. Bashkimi is a basketball club created in 1945, in Prizren, Kosovo. In the 2014-15 season Bashkimi competed in Kosovo's first division ETC Superliga.

Bashkimi is the oldest basketball team in Kosovo, and one of the oldest in the Balkans, being founded as early as 1945. That makes them older than all the current teams in the NBA, and many of the greatest basketball teams in Europe. It has traditionally been the most representative sports team of the city of Prizren. Initially competing in the ex-Yugoslavian competitions, Bashkimi was to join the first season of the Kosovo Basketball League. Orange and black have traditionally been the team's colours, and the current logo is also the oldest and the only one that can be found in team's archive. Bashkimi is one of Kosovo's greatest basketball teams, forming a traditional "big four" together with Prishtina, Peja and Trepca. Nevertheless, it has been a while since Bashkimi has won a trophy for the last time. The last trophy won by the team was the League Cup back in 2002/03 season. 2014/15 was the first season to see Bashkimi participating in an international competition, when the team joined the regional Balkan League.

The best-known players of the team since its founding include Davor Pejčinović, Johny Philips, Lee Benson, Schin Kerr, Vedran Bosnic, Billy Armstrong, Bledar Gjeqaj, and William Njoku.

Note: Flags indicate national team eligibility at FIBA sanctioned events. Players may hold other non-FIBA nationality not displayed.
