On March 19, 2016, a young & talented group of players led by head coach Dejan Milojević made history, as they guided Mega Bemax to the club's first ever ABA League Finals. 

Mega Bemax (back then Mega Leks) faced 2015/16 regular season winners Budućnost VOLI in the semi-finals. With just 10 players in the roster and with the average player age of 21 years, Mega's kids firstly defeated Budućnost VOLI on the road in Game 1 by 85:81, while then they triumphed in Game 2 by 76:75 in packed Sportse Center Pinki, Sremska Mitrovica. 

Mega's star players back then were Nikola Ivanović & Danilo Nikolić (currently playing for Budućnost VOLI), then Rade Zagorac, Nikola Janković & Ognjen Jaramaz (Partizan NIS), Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot (Brooklin Nets)...

Take a look at the final seconds of Game 2 and watch the big celebration of Mega's team and their fans after the end of the game.
