The Club
One of the oldest basketball clubs in Europe, Panellinios opened its basketball section in 1929 and won the Athens regional title that same year. Coach Nikos Nisiotis played an important role in the development of the sport in the 1930s and '40s. Panellinios won two more championships in 1939 and 1940, just before World War II. The team returned known as "the Golden Pentada" after the war, winning three more national championships between 1946 and 1960, led by super scorer Antonis Christeas. The Golden Pentada was the base for the 1952 Greek basketball Olympic team in Helsinki. Once the Greek League was created in 1963, Panellinios had the initiative to set the basis for the Greek Basketball Federation. Panellinios stayed in the top division for 23 straight years, finishing third in 1970 and 1978. Tough times came throughout the 1990s, however, as the team battled in the second and third divisions until it returned to the first division in 2004. Soon Panellinios made the first of four consecutive trips to the Greek League playoffs, though it always lost in the quarterfinals. Now Panellinios hopes to return to the Eurocup for the third consecutive year. Last season, the team went all the way from the First Qualifying Round to the Last 16 and now it hopes to improve on those results from the same starting point.
