Quad City Thunder

Quad City Thunder

The Quad City Thunder are a defunct professional basketball team that was based in the Quad Cities of Illinois and Iowa. They played in the Continental Basketball Association from the 1987-1988 season until the league folded in 2001 due to mismanagement by former NBA star Isiah Thomas. The teams was CBA champions in the 1993-1994 and 1997-1998 seasons, and runner-up in the 1990-1991 season. They played their home games initially at the Wharton Field House of Moline High School until the opening of the Mark of the Quad Cities (now the i wireless Center) in downtown Moline. Initially a great success in the CBA, the Thunder struggled towards the end of their existence, especially with competition from their co-tenants at the Mark, the Quad City Mallards hockey team.

The Thunder and their fans enjoyed a spirited rivalry with the Rockford Lightning.

The Thunder's mascot was Thor, the Norse god of thunder.
