[edit] History

Ehitustööriist was founded in 1998. Until 2005, the team was the weakest in the Estonian basketball league. In 2005 Ehitustööriist managed to win the title over Tartu Rock. After the win many new players were added to the roster and the name was changed to BC Kalev/Cramo . The main goal was to defend the title in Estonia and manage to get a place in the SEB BBL's best six teams. Kalev won their home league and the home cup but failed in the SEB BBL. After the season many rising young Estonian players were added to the roster and the ambitions are even higher. Kalev wants to defend their home titles and make their way to the SEB BBL Final four and achieve great results in the FIBA Eurocup.
