The Knights Green Team are a Canadian semi-professional basketball team based in Calgary Alberta Canada. The Knights compete in the Calgary Senior Men's Basketball Association (CSMBA) as a member of the league's F division. The Knights were established in 2018 and play their home games at the Repsol Sport Center in Calgary Alberta.

In their short tenure, the Knights clinched their first ever playoff appearance and playoff series win in the 2019 season, before falling just short of the finals.

2018-Present
The Knights began their inaugural season in the spring of 2018, failing to win a single game and missing out on the 2018 playoffs altogether. In the 2018-19 offseason, the Knights acquired All-Star big man Ashton Bliss through free agency along with resigning most of the core to multi-year deals. After a horrendous start to the season in which they went winless throughout the pre-season, the Knights rattled off 4 straight wins and 7 of 8 overall to clinch a spot in the 2019 playoffs. In a win or go home game, the knights proved victorious over league rivals Bring Ur Umbrella, notching a 66-56 overtime win and moving on to the division semi-finals. The Knights matched up against United who had previously dominated them in a recent matchup. This led to a chippy and physical game in which a massive brawl ensued leaving the Knights without three of it's top three big men, and united without two of their own players. This lack of a physical inside presence proved to be too much for the Knights as they went on to lose in heartbreaking fashion and subsequently be eliminated from title contention that season.
