TheGreece men's national basketball team (Greek:Eθνική Oμάδα Καλαθοσφαίρισης Ελλάδος) representsGreece in internationalbasketball. They are controlled by theHellenic Basketball Federation, the governing body forbasketball in Greece. Greece is currently ranked 13th in theFIBA World Ranking.

Greece have appeared nine times at theFIBA World Cup, with their best result coming in2006 as runners-up, after beating theUnited States 101–95 in the tournament's semi-final. Greece have taken part in theEuroBasket 29 times, winning the tournament twice, while also coming away with one silver (1989), as well as three bronze medals (1949,2009,2025).

Some of the team's highlights at the competition were beating theSoviet Union 103–101 in the final inAthens to win their first title in1987, and defeatingGermany 78–62 in the final in2005. Greece have competed five times at theOlympic Games, their best results being fifth place finishes on three occasions (1996,2004,2008).

Greece is the only national team in the world to have defeated the United States duringMike Krzyzewski's era (2005–2016), as the latter had an undefeated record both before and after the 2006 FIBA World Cup semi-final, all major competitions included.

History

[edit]
Greece national basketball team of 1987 logo

Basketball has a long tradition inGreece, as the country was one of the eight founding members of theInternational Basketball Federation, more commonly known by its French acronym FIBA, in 1932. However, the men's national team was considered as a second-class power in international basketball for several decades and came into prominence in the mid-1980s by winning theEuroBasket 1987. It was the first ever major international title won by a Greece national team in any sports. Basketball became extremely popular in the country and since then Greece has been placed in the high level on the basketball stage.[3]

International debut and first successes

[edit]

Greece was to take part in theEuroBasket 1935, the inaugural FIBA European Championship held inGeneva, but were not able to travel toSwitzerland due to financial problems.[4] Thus, Greece made their international debut fourteen years later in theEuroBasket 1949 inCairo, Egypt. That tournament has been marked as the weakest in the history of the competition, as most of the leading European basketball nations at the time refused to travel by plane toEgypt. Greece entered the tournament as a newcomer and got through to make their first major success in their very first appearance in the competition, finishing in third place behind hostsEgypt and a strong sideFrench team.[5]

After their first international success, the Greeks participated in the next tournament atEuroBasket 1951, where they reached the semi-final round ending up eighth among the eighteen nations that participated. They also made their first appearance at theSummer Olympic Games, taking part in theSummer Olympic basketball tournament in 1952. They were narrowly eliminated in the preliminary phase, finishing at the bottom of the table along with other six teams and also bringing to an end the first period in the history of Greek basketball as they did not enter any major tournaments for the rest of the 1950s.

During the 1960s, the 1970s, and the first half of the 1980s, Greece appeared in most of theEuroBasket tournaments, with their best performances being 8th place in1965 and 9th place in both1979 and1981. They did not qualify for theSummer Olympic Games or to theFIBA World Cup, but they did win two regional gold medals. They won the gold at the1979 Mediterranean Games by beatingYugoslavia by a score of 85–74 in the final, and the1979 Balkan Championship, again by beating Yugoslavia, 66–62.

Rise to the top level: European champions

[edit]

The history of the national team was fairly pedestrian until the mid-1980s, when Greece arrived as a powerhouse in international basketball, spearheaded by elite players likeNikos Galis,Panagiotis Giannakis,Panagiotis Fasoulas andFanis Christodoulou. The arrival began with their qualification to the1986 FIBA World Cup, a first in their history. The national team went on to finish 10th among the twenty-four nations at the tournament, but it was a catalyst for the future.

The following year, Greece faced their biggest challenge, as the country hosted theEuroBasket 1987 with the national team entering the tournament with a formidable line-up. After advancing through the group stages, they eliminatedItaly andYugoslavia, both among the favorites to win the tournament, in the quarter-finals and the semi-finals respectively. In the final, Greece faced the defending champions and heavily favoredSoviet Union. In front of 17,000 Greek fans at thePeace and Friendship Stadium, the hosts won the gold medal after a thrilling win 103–101 over the Soviets, with Nikos Galis scoring 40 points.[6] It was the first time that the Greek national team won a major tournament in any sport, instantly making basketball the national sport while the national team became cherished throughout the country.

The European champions failed to qualify for the1988 Summer Olympic Games for a first time in 36 years, despite a decent performance in the pre-Olympic tournament. At theEuroBasket 1989, the defending champions were under pressure to prove that they could repeat the level of excellence they displayed at their lastEuroBasket appearance, and they did so in a convincing way. After they had advanced to the knockout stages, the Soviet Union stood in their way in the semi-finals, but Greece defeated them once again and reached the final. In contrast to 1989, this time Greece had to overcome Yugoslavia and the latter's home court advantage inZagreb. Greece would take home the silver medal, repeating their feat from the previous tournament to at least finish in a medal position at EuroBasket, making it their third medal in their basketball history.

Firmly among the best in the world but no medals

[edit]

In the 1990s there was a series of successful results for the national team, which was present in all major international tournaments every year except for the1992 Summer Olympic Games. In the period between 1990 and 1998, Greece never fell below 6th place and usually ended up 4th. They also qualified for a second Olympic appearance in1996, where the team finished in 5th place.

At the1990 FIBA World Cup, the team would face a new challenge as they would have to compete without their leading scorerNikos Galis who was injured, but performed better than four years ago and eventually placed 6th in the tournament. For the next two competitions in1994 and1998 Greece finished 4th. In1994, the team reached the semi-finals but were eliminated by theUnited States and played for the third place againstCroatia to which they lost and were placed 4th, a result that was considered to demonstrate the continued prominence of the team. In1998, the tournament was held inAthens and the Greeks hoped to qualify for the final. Although in the semi-final they were eliminated byFR Yugoslavia in extra time, and their disappointment of missing the chance to reach the final led to an easy defeat to the United States in the bronze medal game, once more leaving Greece 4th.

At theEuroBasket 1991 Greece finished 5th and just out of reach at 4th place of the medal position in1993,1995 and1997. Greece acted as host at the 1995 tournament, failing to repeat the triumph of 1987 when defeated in the semi-final by FR Yugoslavia, something that happened again in 1997, while hostsGermany had eliminated Greece in 1993.

The years 1999–2002 were marked by an obvious decline of Greece. The beginning of this era was the shocking 16th and last place of the team in the final standings of theEuroBasket 1999, having suffered three defeats in the preliminary round. Consequently, Greece was absent from the2000 Summer Olympic Games. At the next European championship in2001, the Greek team was placed 9th, thus failed to qualify for the2002 FIBA World Cup.

European champions and FIBA World Cup runners-up

[edit]
Greece won the silver medal at the2006 FIBA World Cup after their memorable 101–95 win againstUSA.
Vassilis Spanoulis

The revival of Greece started at theEuroBasket 2003, where an overhauled team finished 5th. The experiment was partly successful, but the public was not very enthusiastic. The2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, were considered as the biggest chance for the hosts Greece to win their first Olympic medal. But in a close 69–64 loss to the eventual gold medalistsArgentina in the quarter-finals, stopped any chance of it becoming reality. The team would go on to place 5th in the standings at the event overall.

Greece were considered a strong outsider for the medals at theEuroBasket 2005. They advanced from the group stage with two wins in three games and eliminatedIsrael andRussia to reach the semi-finals, where they facedFrance. The French side were leading the score by seven points with only one minute left, Greece appeared to have no chance to pull out the win and one more lost semi-final was coming. However, the Greeks managed to get within a two-point deficit and won 67–66 with a three-pointer byDimitris Diamantidis with three seconds remaining, setting off a joyous celebration from the Greek side. In the final and in front of a raucous pro-Greece sold-out crowd of 20,000 at theBelgrade Arena, the Greeks defeated Germany in a convincing way 78–62, winning the gold medal for the second time in their history.[7]

Thodoris Papaloukas
Greek basketball legendPanagiotis Giannakis is the only person to have won theEuroBasket both as a player (EuroBasket 1987) and as a head coach (EuroBasket 2005). He also led Greece to the final of the2006 FIBA World Cup.

The following year, the European champions won the2006 Stanković Cup going undefeated in the tournament and defeating Germany again in the final with an impressive 84–47 win. At the2006 FIBA World Cup, Greece were determined to win a medal they had closely missed in their last two appearances in the tournament. They reached the semi-finals with a record of (7–0), with some of their wins coming in grand fashion. In the semi-finals, Greece defeated the popular odds-onUnited States in a 101–95 upset, rallying back from twelve points down, and qualified for the final. But, they ultimately ran out of gas from their dramatic game with the Americans and lost 70–47 toSpain, ending up with the silver medal. Despite the loss the players were greeted enthusiastically by celebrating fans on their return to Greece, due to their first ever medal in aWorld Cup and their victory over the United States.

At theEuroBasket 2007, the defending European champions advanced to the semi-finals where they faced the hosts and reigning World champions Spain, in a rematch of the final one year prior. Greece came close to take revenge but eventually lost 82–77, and played in the bronze medal game where they succumbed toLithuania. At the2008 Summer Olympic Games, another last-second defeat 80–78 toArgentina in the quarter-finals led Greece to a 5th-place finish once again. At theEuroBasket 2009, the national team was potently changed, with a bunch of young players and without key playersThodoris Papaloukas andDimitris Diamantidis, as well asPanagiotis Vasilopoulos andKostas Tsartsaris, the tournament was perceived as the turning point for Greece after their major recent achievements. However, after their fourth consecutive defeat to Spain in the semi-finals and sixty years after their first, and last, bronze medal they managed to take the podium in the third position against the odds, with a thrilling 57–56 win overSlovenia, ceasing the curse of being defeated in all bronze medal matches in their history.

Before the2010 FIBA World Cup, the team exhibited impressive performances during friendly preparation matches, beatingGermany 82–54,Russia 101–63,Croatia 90–81,Canada 123–49,Slovenia 96–72, andSerbia 74–73, in a game that ended up in a brawl. That brawl exposed problems within the team, which showed a different face in crucial matches in the World Cup. In the group stage, Greece lost toTurkey and Russia, (beingaccused of purposely losing the game with Russia, to avoid playing with Spain in the knock-out stage).France's loss toNew Zealand meant that Greece had to face Spain anyway in the round of 16. The two teams met once more, in a dramatic game that Spain won in the last minutes (a game that lead toGreek complaints about critical referee calls). That loss meant that the Greek team was eliminated from the next stage, ending up 11th (its worst performance in a World Cup). That game led to the fifth consecutive Spanish victory over Greece in major international competitions (Greece would stop Spain's winning streak 3 years later atEuroBasket 2013, beating them 79–75, withVassilis Spanoulis scoring 20 points). That actually represented a reversal of the previous situation, as Greece had previously defeated Spain in every game they played against each other at the four major international competitions (1990 FIBA World Cup,EuroBasket 1993,EuroBasket 1995, and the1998 FIBA World Cup). After the elimination in the 2010 FIBA World Cup,Dimitris Diamantidis announced his retirement from the national team, at age 30.

2011–present

[edit]

During preparations forEuroBasket 2011, new head coach,Ilias Zouros, faced one of the greatest challenges in the history of the Greek basketball team, with the absences of no less than 9 key players (including star players:Dimitris Diamantidis,Thodoris Papaloukas,Sofoklis Schortsanitis, andVassilis Spanoulis). Zouros had to assemble a team mostly made of young players (half of the team's players had never participated in theEuroBasket, with little time to prepare. The new national team, featuring some of the next generation Greek players ("Generation X"), exhibited promising signs during friendlies, beatingRussia 83–80,Germany 69–56, andTurkey 62–38. At the EuroBasket, Greece managed to reach the quarterfinals, where they lost to the eventualsilver medalistFrance 64–56. Subsequently, the victory againstSerbia 87–77, and the loss toLithuania 73–69, led Greece to 6th place, thus securing participation in the2012 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament. At the 2012 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament, Greece failed to qualify for theOlympics, after an 80–79 loss toNigeria.

Participation at theEuroBasket 2013 with its new head coach,Andrea Trinchieri, didn't bring any consolation to its fans. The team once again exhibited superb performance during preparation games (including commanding victories against both eventual finalistsFrance andLithuania) earning the top spot on theFIBA EuroBasket power rankings before the tournament. Their start in the EuroBasket was equally fruitful, with comfortable victories againstSweden (79–51),Russia (80–71) andTurkey (84–61). However, serious injuries to (Spanoulis,Mavrokefalidis,Papanikolaou,Zisis) plagued the Greek team, despite the impressive win against thedefending championsSpain. Losses in critical games (especially those againstItaly andFinland in their preliminary phase group), led to the failure to reach the quarterfinals for the first time since theEuroBasket 2001. They were, however, selected as a wild card for the2014 FIBA World Cup, being placed inGroup B consisting of thePhilippines,Senegal,Argentina,Croatia and rivalsPuerto Rico.

The national team once again introduced a new head coach inFotios Katsikaris, and once more had to face what had become a chronic problem of missing key players (this timeVassilis Spanoulis,Kosta Koufos,Antonis Fotsis,Stratos Perperoglou andSofoklis Schortsanitis). Greece ended up first in its group, after defeating all the above teams (being, along withUSA andSpain, one of three undefeated teams in the Group Stage), but lost toSerbia in the Round of 16, and ended up in ninth place overall. Greece participated inEuroBasket 2015, inGroup C consisting ofNetherlands,Croatia,Slovenia,Georgia and rivalsNorth Macedonia. The national team withFotios Katsikaris as head coach, ended up first in its group, after defeating all the above nations (being, along withFrance andSerbia, one of three undefeated teams in the Group Stage). In the Round of 16, they defeatedBelgium (75–54), but in the quarterfinals, they lost toSpain (73–71). Two days later (17 September 2015), they defeatedLatvia (97–90), ending up in fifth place overall, and qualified to one of the three2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournaments. At the2016 Turin FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament, Greece defeatedIran (78–53), andMexico (86–70), but lost toCroatia (66–61), and failed to qualify to theSummer Olympic Games, for the second time in a row. However, they qualified forEuroBasket 2017.

Giannis Antetokounmpo era

[edit]
Giannis Antetokounmpo

In the late 2010s,Giannis Antetokounmpo became the face of the Greek national team, as the forward had major successes in theNBA, where he won twoNBA MVP awards. Antetokounmpo joined the Greek national team forEuroBasket 2015. Greece's roster consisted of many experienced players, most of them previously crowned European champions with their clubs, like Vassilis Spanoulis, Ioannis Bourousis and Nikos Zisis, and Greece was a favorite for a medal, after showing great form in friendly games.At EuroBasket 2015, Greece was unbeaten in the group stages, and reached the quarter-finals, where a tight game ended in favor of the eventual champions, Spain, eventually finishing fifth with a 7–1 record. Antetokounmpo finished the tournament with three double-doubles, and a career-high 17 rebounds against Spain, leading his team in rebounds for the tournament. In eight games, he averaged 9.8 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.

Greece began their EuroBasket 2017 campaign with a victory againstIceland, but lost their next three games againstSlovenia,France, andFinland. However, they defeatedPoland, by a score of 95–77, to clinch a spot in the knockout rounds. In the round of 16 Greece had a dominant performance in defeatingLithuania, by the score of 77–64, and advanced to the quarterfinals. There, they were eliminated in a hard-fought battle againstRussia 74–69.

Antetokounmpo represented Greece at the2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, where he became the first reigningNBA MVP to play in a World Cup.[8] Greece finished 11th in the tournament after they failed to advance past the second round, which was regarded as a disappointing result in national and international sports media.[9][8]

In September, Antetokounmpo played in theEuroBasket 2022 with Greece, his second of such tournament. On September 6, Antetokounmpo scored 41 points in a 99–79 group stage win overUkraine.[10] This was the twelfth-highest points tally of all time, and the most points scored in a EuroBasket game sinceDirk Nowitzki in2001.[11] Greece was eliminated byGermany in the quarter-finals.[12]

In theParis Olympic Games, Greece was eliminated by Germany in the quarterfinals.[13] It was the team's first participation in the Olympics after sixteen years.[14]

Greece won its first medal in 16 years after winning the bronze medal atEuroBasket 2025.[15] Antetokoumnpo was named to the All-Star Five of the tournament, as he was the second leading scorer with 27.3 points as well as 10.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists on average.[16]
