The original CB Illescas, founded in 1989, has got the record of six consecutive promotions from the lowest regional division in 2002–03 to LEB Oro,[1] division where the team played in the 2008–09 season.

The club was also famous because in 2006–07 was signed Neil Fingleton, the tallest British-born man with 232 cm.[2] The British center only played six games with CB Illescas.

In July 2011, Baloncesto Fuenlabrada announced their farm team compete in Liga EBA but out of Illescas.[3] to playing in regional divisions.[4]

Notable players
gollark: Why *would* they randomly stop? It's probably profitable.
gollark: I have no idea, I don't pay much attention to that.
gollark: Yes, though not for very long. Last year, if I remember right. I don't live there or anything.
gollark: This is very different to the local (UK) trains I often use, which are frequently quite late even for ~20-mile journeys.
gollark: In Russia, our long-distance (Moscow → St Petersburg, IIRC) train was actually on time down to the minute.
