Satria Muda Pertamina Jakarta is an Indonesian basketball team seeing action in the National Basketball League. Based in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, it is Indonesia's representative team to the inaugural Asean Basketball League. Affectionately called "SM Pertamina" or "SMP".
Initially known as Satria Muda Mahaka (with the Mahaka Foundation being its initial sponsor), it began play in the now-defunct semi-professional Kobatama League in 1993 and won the Kobatama title five years later.
Satria Muda then made the jump to the Indonesian Basketball League upon the latter's foundation in 2003. A year later, the Bank Rakyat Indonesia, through its BritAma brand, became the team's major sponsor, and since then the team identity has been Satria Muda BritAma. In the 2015, Pertamina, became the team's major sponsor, and the team name becoming Satria Muda Pertamina.
It has won four domestic titles (2004, 2006, 2008 and 2009) and has also won the SEABA Champions Cup in 2008 by dethroning Harbour Centre Batang Pier from Asean basketball powerhouse Philippines.
Satria Muda is one of the six founding teams of the first pan-Asean pro ball league, which began play on 11 October 2009, but will still remain in the Indonesian Basketball League. In the ASEAN Basketball League, it allows them to add two foreign reinforcements and up to three players from Asean countries. It finished third overall in the regular season standings and became the runners-up in the inaugural season of the ABL, losing to the Philippine Patriots, 0–3, in the championship.
For the 2010–11 season, the Satria Muda ballclub will be fielding two teams for the ABL and the domestic NBL Indonesia, respectively. The team competing in the NBL will be composed of the 2009–10 ABL team, while the new ABL team is a mixture of new local players, Filipino imports, and American imports. Satria Muda's NBL team won the inaugural championship of the NBL Indonesia by beating CLS Knights in the one-game final, 67–50.
