Panathinaikos Basketball Club is the professional basketball team of the Athens-based multi-sport club Panathinaikos. The team also goes by the name of P.A.O., which stands for Panathinaikos Athlitikos Omilos (i.e. Panathenian Athletic Club). It is owned by Dimitris Giannakopoulos. The parent athletic club was founded in 1908, while the basketball team was founded in 1922. It has since developed into the most successful basketball team in Greece, and among the best in Europe. Panathinaikos has won 32 Greek Basket League championships, 13 Greek Cups, 6 Euroleague championships, 1 Intercontinental Cup, and 2 Triple Crowns.

Among the well-known players that have played with the club over the years include: Dominique Wilkins, Byron Scott, Antonio Davis, Dino Rađa, John Salley, Nikos Galis, Dejan Bodiroga, Panagiotis Giannakis, Željko Rebrača, Arijan Komazec, Stojko Vranković, Žarko Paspalj, Fanis Christodoulou, Šarūnas Jasikevičius, Fragiskos Alvertis, Dimitris Diamantidis, and Vassilis Spanoulis. Such players, the successful management of former long-time owners Pavlos Giannakopoulos and Thanassis Giannakopoulos, and the long-time guidance of the most successful coach in Euroleague history, Željko Obradović, have made Panathinaikos the most successful team in Europe over the last two-and-a-half decades. Panathinaikos is the only team on the European continent to win as many as six Euroleague titles, since the establishment of the modern era Euroleague Final Four format in 1988 (no other club has won more than three Euroleague championships in this period). Overall, and on the basis of the club's achievements, in both Greece and Europe, Panathinaikos B.C. is the most successful Greek basketball team ever.

History

1918–1945

Panathinaikos started as a football club in 1908. In 1918, basketball was still unknown in Greece. During that period Giorgos Kalafatis attended basketball games between the Allies of World War I, in Paris. When he later returned to Greece with the necessary equipment, he set up the Panathinaikos basketball club, led by Apostolos Nikolaidis.

In 1922, PAO played their first match against the (Greek) YMCA, a match which took place at the Pan-athenian Stadium. Regrettably, the lack of equipment and interest quickly led to the dissolution of the team.

In 1937, Kalafatis managed to create a new Panathinaikos team that, during the following year, tried to catch up with already established clubs like the YMCA, Ethnikos Athinon, Panionios, Aris and Iraklis. Angelos Fillipou, Nikos Mantzaroglou, Litsas and Dimitrakos were the ringleaders of the group and were later joined by Telis Karagiorgos, Thymios Karadimos, Giorgos Bofilios, Philipos Papaikonomou, Petros Polycratis and Nickos Polycratis. During the German occupation that followed, PAO managed to keep the basketball team alive.

Postwar history

1946–1960

In 1946 (the first post-war championship) and 1947, Panathinaikos emerged champions, with the help of players like Giannis Lambrou, Missas Pantazopoulos, Stelios Arvanitis (these players would later go on to win the bronze medal in Eurobasket 1949) and Jack Nicolaidis (nephew of Apostolos Nikolaidis).

In 1950 and 1951, Panathinaikos emerged champions once again with the help of great athletes Fedon Matheou (the patriarch of Greek basketball) and Nikos Milas. In 1954 the club would repeat the success, however the next five years would prove fruitless and the club, despite its strength, would have to be renewed.

1960–1970

In 1961 Panathinaikos won the Greek championship with new leaders Giorgos Vassilakopoulos, Stelios Tavoularis and Petros Panagiotarakos. In 1962 Panathinaikos made the repeat and was again the Greek champion. That was also the year that PAO took part in a European competition facing Hapoel Tel Aviv for the European Championship.

In 1967, Panathinaikos were crowned champions, with Giorgos Kolokithas – one of the greatest basketball players of his era – in their ranks. In 1969, the conquest of the Championship was followed by the first European success of the club, namely the entrance in the semi-finals of the Cup Winners Cup, where it was eliminated by Dinamo Tbilisi. The next year, 1970, PAO were the first Greek basketball team to use a foreign player (Craig Greenwood) in a European game.

The Golden Age 1970–1984

During these golden years, Panathinaikos won 10 out of 14 Greek championships with their great leader and scorer Apostolos Kontos.

1971–1975

During this period, Kostas Mourouzis, nicknamed the fox of coaching, managed the team of the 4-K (the young Kontos, Koroneos, Kokolakis and Kefalos). These players, along with Iordanidis, who functioned as a link with older players, won 5 consecutive championships and made the greatest accomplishment of their time by participating in the semifinals of the European Championship, aided by American Willy Kirkland. Unfortunately, Ignis Varese, one of the giants of the era, proved an insurmountable obstacle for Panathinaikos.

1976–1979

Over the next 4 seasons Panathinaikos captured the championship once in 1977 and also won their first Greek Cup in 1979. They acquired Memos Ioannou in 1974 and Greek-American David Stergakos in 1979 (a player that would contribute greatly in the coming years).

1980–1984

The five years that followed, Panathinaikos won 4 championships (1980, 1981, 1982, 1984) and two cups (1982, 1983). More specifically, in 1982, coached by Kostas Politis, PAO succeeded in winning their first double as well as placing 5th in Europe. Before this Panathinaikos got the better of a strong CSKA team in the last seconds of a thriller match. The last championship before the decline was 1984 when PAO won the big game title in Corfu, starring Liveris Andritsos and Tom Kappos. Panathinaikos had a great chance to avoid the upcoming decline when he discovered Rony Seikaly but bureaucratic problems prevented him from playing in the Greek Championship as a Greek citizen despite being entitled to do so, which forced him to move to the USA.

The great decline 1985–1992

1985–1988

In 1985, PAO finished in 3rd place in the league. Stergakos, Ioannou, Vidas, Andritsos and Koroneos – who left the following year – were the key players. The balance however had now tilted in favour of Aris and Panathinaikos ceased to be a leader and were limited to a secondary role. Nevertheless, they remained a worthy adversary. Thus, in 1986, against all odds, they managed to eliminate powerful Aris from the Greek Cup at the semifinal stage. Then Panathinakos went on to win Olympiakos in the final and conquer their last title until 1993. During the next 2 seasons, PAO would finish in 5th place (worst result since many years ago).

1989–1992

In 1988, the ban on using foreign players in the league was lifted and Panathinaikos were able to acquire Edgar Jones from the NBA. He was a capable shooter, scorer and rebounder and for the next 2 years was the star of the team. Although PAO achieved significant wins over the other major Greek teams, they did not manage any notable distinction. The next two years, Antonio Davis, who had later a great career in the NBA, replaced Jones as the leader of the team stats. At this point of time, Panathinaikos had also acquired some of the most talented young Greek players (Fragiskos Alvertis, Nikos Economou and Christos Myriounis), but that didn't stop them from experiencing the worst period in the history of the club, finishing 7th in 1991 and dropping to 8th position in 1992, which left them for the first time outside Europe since 1967.

Return to distinction 1992–1995

Nikos Galis was the man responsible for the rebirth of the team. With his effort Panathinaikos transformed into a very strong team, capable of claiming all the titles. However his retirement during the 1994–95 season deprived the team of the opportunity to conquer any major title.

1992–1994

In the summer of 1992, Panathinaikos attempted a full reconstruction of the team. Nikos Galis, the top Greek basketball player, was acquired by the club and was flanked by star players Stojko Vranković, Tiit Sokk and Arijan Komazec. Thus, Galis lead PAO to a Greek Cup win and also to the Championship final, where they lost despite home advantage. The next season 1993–94 Nikos Galis along with Alexander Volkov and Stojko Vranković led Panathinaikos to 3rd place in Europe for the first time in the club's history, although they didn't manage any title back home.

1994–1995

The 1994–95 season started with the best conditions as the club acquired Panagiotis Giannakis and Žarko Paspalj. PAO was again the favourite for all domestic titles. The club started by eliminating Olympiakos from the Greek Cup in a very tough game before the start of the Championship. However, after the first games for the Greek Championship, Nikos Galis, the player that had led PAO in the cup game against Olympiakos and also in the decisive game for the Euroleague qualifiers, left the team. As a consequence, PAO – despite playing some great games – only managed to retain 3rd place in Europe and compete in the Greek Cup final.

European, Intercontinental and Greek Champions 1996–1998

During the years 1996–98, Panathinaikos fulfilled all of their objectives by winning the European Championship, the Intecontinental cup and the Greek championship (in this order).

1995–1996

The expectations in the team had now risen a lot, as it was imperative for Panathinaikos to obtain a significant title. In the summer of 1995, they acquired Dominique Wilkins, one of the top American players playing in Europe. The coach of the team was Božidar Maljković. The former along with Giannakis, Vranković, Alvertis and Patavoukas comprised a very experienced team, which, in 1996, managed an unprecedented success for Greek basketball. Indeed, in April 1996, at the Paris Final Four, Panathinaikos became the first Greek team to lift the European Championships (now called the Euroleague), beating FC Barcelona in a unique tournament final, by a score of 67–66. Back in Greece, right after the big win in Paris, the exit of Dominique Wilkins in the league final led to the loss of a championship from Olympiakos with 35 points difference.

1996–1997

The next season, Maljković removed all the stars from the roster in an attempt of assembling a squad that's based on teamwork. With the start of the season, PAO were crowned Intercontinental Champions, prevailing by 2–1 wins in a 3-game series over Olimpia de Venado Tuerto, South American champions. Unfortunately, the restructuring of the team failed and Panathinaikos failed to participate in the Final Four to defend their European title. Moreover, they finished in 5th place in the championship, thus losing the right to participate in next season's Euroleague.

1997–1998

Lefteris Subotic assumed technical leadership and convinced Dino Rađa to come to PAO. This great transfer was accompanied by Byron Scott and Fanis Christodoulou and with the help of Alvertis, Economou and Koch, Panathinaikos finally won the Greek league after 14 years.

1999 – The championship at SEF

The 1998–99 season proved very important for Panathinaikos, as Olympiakos who had gained home advantage were prepared to return to the top. It was at the last game of the finals that Panathinaikos achieved one of the most decisive away victories against Olympiakos, capturing the title. Not only that, but this loss led to a process of renewal and reconstruction for Olympiakos, which would fail for the next many years.

Obradović era – glory in Greece and Europe

The arrival of Željko Obradović to Panathinaikos during summer 1999 marked the beginning of an extraordinary period for the club, with many major successes and the establishment of the team as the strongest in Europe.

2000–2002

The first thing that Obradovic did was to adapt the whole team on Dejan Bodiroga, who was the absolute leader of Panathinaikos. As a result of the success of this strategy, PAO managed to capture 2 Euroleague titles (2000, 2002) after 3 consecutive Euroleague finals appearances (2000–2002) and also won 3 consecutive Greek championships (1999–2001). Nevertheless, they failed to conquer the Greek Cup, even though they played in two finals. Rebrača, Gentile, Middleton, Alvertis, Kattash, Kutluay and Fotsis were some of the players who excelled in this area. The dominance in the Greek league was finally interrupted in 2002, the year that PAO won their 3rd European Championships. Also at the end of the year, there were many significant changes, starting with the withdrawal of Bodiroga, making a renewal imperative.

Euroleague 2000

At the Thessaloniki Euroleague Final Four, Panathinaikos became Champions of Europe for the second time, beating Macabbi Tel Aviv 73–67 in the final.

Euroleague 2002

At the Bologna Euroleague Final Four, Panathinaikos brought to Athens the most prestigious European trophy for the third time, beating hosts Kinder Bologna by the score of 89–83 in the final.

Emphasis on teamwork 2003–2009

2002–03 was the year that Obradovic used to restructure Panathinaikos and return them to the top of Greece. He emphatically achieved this objective by leading the team to 4 doubles and 2 triple crowns (i.e. double plus Euroleague champions) in the next 7 years, thus creating an empire. Panathinaikos had radically changed the style of their game after replacing Bodiroga. The game contribution of the Serbian player was replaced by an unprecedented model of teamwork that proved that a super star was unnecessary. Players such as Lakovic, Alvertis, Diamantidis, Fotsis, Tsartsaris, Batiste and later Spanoulis, Siskauskas and Jasikevicius, who played not for themselves but for the maximum success of the team led to the transformation of PAO into a title-winning machine that was not hampered by irreplaceable players and this quality was widely recognized.

Euroleague 2007

At the 2007 Euroleague Final Four, which was held on their home court of OAKA in Athens, Panathinaikos became European Champions for the fourth time, beating the defending champions CSKA Moscow 93–91 in the final.

Euroleague 2009

The same teams (PAO and CSKA) competed in the final of the 2009 Euroleague Final Four Berlin, where Panathinaikos won the trophy again, for the fifth time in their history. The score was 73–71.

On December 14, 2009 Panathinaikos was voted top team of 2009 by the Sports Journalists Association, with 1,291 votes. In addition, coach Zelimir Obradovic was voted top coach, with 1,399 votes.

Euroleague 2011

Panathinaikos after a great performance of Calathes in the semi-final against Siena scoring 17 points,grabbing 6 rebounds and making 2 steals win 77–69 and reach to the final against Maccabi Tel Aviv.In the Final Panathinaikos win 78–70 and won the 6th European trophy.

Fans

The team, which is famous for its fans' passionate support, also set a record (broken in 2009) for the highest home game attendance in the history of the Euroleague, which is 20,000 fans, achieved at a home match in OAKA against Benetton Treviso on March 29, 2006, for the second phase of the Euroleague 2005-06. An attendance of 18,900 fans has also been achieved three times in home matches of the Greens, against Efes Pilsen in 2005 and TAU Cerámica (twice) in 2006. While PAO no longer holds the record for largest Euroleague home crowd, it still holds the honor of being involved in the record match—PAO was the opponent for Partizan Belgrade when it drew 22,567 to Belgrade Arena for a 2009 match.

Less significant European successes

Panathinaikos has advanced to the Final Four of the Euroleague (and its predecessor) another four times: Tel Aviv in 1994 (3rd), Zaragoza in 1995 (3rd), Paris in 2001 (2nd) and Moscow in 2005 (3rd). Other significant successes are: the two participations in the semifinals of the Cup Winners' Cup (1969, 1998), as well as the road to the semi-finals of the Champions' Cup for the season 1971–72 (eliminated by Ignis Varese (78–70, 55–69). In the 1981–82 season, Panathinaikos participated in the finals of the Champions' Cup of that time, eliminating the teams of CSKA Moscow and Levski Sofia in that order.
