The club reached the 2008–09 Basketball Bundesliga playoffs where Paderborn earned two victories against the defending champion ALBA Berlin against all odds. It has been Paderborn's main accomplishment to date.
The immediate predecessor club of the Paderborn Baskets was the VBC 69 Paderborn, founded in 1969, in which competitive basketball was also played in the city for the first time. After only six years, youth teams were able to win championships in the West German Basketball Association (WBV) in 1975, and subsequently youth and junior national players such as Manfred Winter and Bernd Zengerling came forth, who later played in the Basketball Bundesliga and the ProA predecessor leagues. Then in 1984, the first men's team itself succeeded in advancing to the 2nd Basketball Bundesliga Group North. The promotion team mainly included players from the team's own youth, such as Dirk Happe, who had won a bronze medal as a youth national player at the European Cadet (U16) Championships in his own country the year before.
Players of the Basketball Bundesliga Play–off team in 2009 included: Kendale Mccullum, Ryan Logan, Thomas Reuter, Martin Seiferth, Ivan Buntic, Demetrius Ward, Henning Ballhausen, Jens Großmann, Grant Benzinger, Daniel Mixich, Lavelle Felton, Piet Kahl and Jacksons Trapp.
