Panathinaikos B.C. (Greek:ΚΑΕ Παναθηναϊκός), also simplified toPanathinaikos orPAO and officially referred to asPanathinaikos AKTOR Athens for sponsorship reasons, is the professionalbasketball team of the majorAthens-based multi-sport clubPanathinaikos A.O.. It is owned by theGiannakopoulos family.[2]
The parent athletic club was founded in 1908, while the basketball team was established in 1919.[3] Panathinaikos is one of the only Greek teams never to have been relegated from the top division, with participation in everyGreek First Division Championship.[4]
Panathinaikos has developed intothe most successful basketball club in Greek basketball history and one of the most successful teams in European basketball.[5] The team has won sevenEuroLeague Championships, forty-oneGreek Basket League Championships, twenty-oneGreek Cups, oneIntercontinental Cup, oneGreek Super Cup, and twoTriple Crowns. They hold the world record for the longest title-winning streak, spanning 27 seasons from 1995–96 to 2021–22, during which the team won at least one title each season.[6]
The team plays its home games at theTelekom Center Athens, also known as Nikos Galis Olympic Indoor Hall with a capacity of 18,300.[7]
Many top-class players have represented the club over the years, includingDominique Wilkins,Fragiskos Alvertis,Byron Scott,Nick Galis,John Salley,Dimitris Diamantidis,Antonio Davis,Stojko Vranković,Dino Rađja,Šarūnas Jasikevičius,Dejan Bodiroga,Nick Calathes,Nikola Peković,Panagiotis Giannakis,Fanis Christodoulou,Mike Batiste,Antonis Fotsis,Kostas Tsartsaris,Željko Rebrača,Vassilis Spanoulis,Dejan Tomašević,Nikos Oikonomou,Ramūnas Šiškauskas,Byron Dinkins,İbrahim Kutluay,Mike James,Sani Bečirovič,Jaka Lakovič,Marcelo Nicola,Hugo Sconochini,Nando Gentile,Pepe Sánchez,Darryl Middleton,Lazaros Papadopoulos,Žarko Paspalj,Nikos Chatzivrettas,Dimos Dikoudis,Oded Kattash,Alexander Volkov,John Amaechi,Tiit Sokk,Sofoklis Schortsanitis,Jason Kapono,Arijan Komazec,Edgar Jones,Romain Sato,Johnny Rogers,Tony Delk,Drew Nicholas,James Gist,Stéphane Lasme,Jonas Mačiulis,Roko Ukić,Robertas Javtokas,Ioannis Bourousis,Keith Langford,Jimmer Fredette,Kostas Sloukas,Juancho Hernangómez,Mathias Lessort, andKendrick Nunn.
Panathinaikos is the only team on the European continent to win sevenEuroLeague titles (1996,2000,2002,2007,2009,2011, and2024) since the establishment of the modernEuroLeague Final Four format in1988 (no other club has won more than four championships in this period). They were alsorunners-up in2001. Panathinaikos reached theEuroLeague Final Four thirteen times overall (1994,1995,1996,2000,2001,2002,2005,2007,2009,2011,2012,2024,2025).[8]
Panathinaikos started as afootball club in 1908. In 1919,basketball was still unknown in Greece. During that period,Giorgos Kalafatis with other athletes participated in theInter-Allied Games in Paris and attended basketball games between theAllies of World War I. When he later returned to Greece with the necessary equipment, he set up the Panathinaikos basketball club, led byApostolos Nikolaidis.[9]
In 1919,Panathinaikos played their first match againstX.A.N. Thessaloniki (YMCA), another club also pioneer ofbasketball in Greece, a match which took place at thePanathenaic Stadium.[10]
In 1937,Giorgos Kalafatis managed to create a newPanathinaikos team that, during the following year, tried to catch up with already established clubs like theYMCA,Ethnikos G.S. Athens,Panionios,Aris andIraklis.Angelos Fillipou,Nikos Mantzaroglou, Litsas and Dimitrakos were the ringleaders of the group and were later joined byTelis Karagiorgos,Thymios Karadimos,Giorgos Bofilios,Philipos Papaikonomou,Petros Polycratis andNikos Polycratis. During theGerman occupation that followed,Dimitris Giannatos (founding member of the basketball team) was executed by theGerman occupation forces as a member of theresistance action group “Ivanov.”[11]
In 1946 (the first post‑war championship) and 1947,Panathinaikos emerged as champions, with the help of players likeIoannis Lambrou,Missas Pantazopoulos, andStelios Arvanitis (these players would later go on to win the bronze medal inEuroBasket 1949), as well asJack Nicolaidis (nephew ofApostolos Nikolaidis).[12]
In 1950 and 1951,Panathinaikos again emerged as champions, with key contributions fromFaidon Matthaiou (considered thePatriarch of Greek basketball) andNikos Milas.[13] In 1954, the club repeated this success. The following five years were fruitless, as shown by the lack of championships until 1960–61, marking a period of renewal for the team.[14]
In 1961,Panathinaikos won theGreek League championship with new leadersGeorgios Vassilakopoulos,Stelios Tavoularis, andPetros Panagiotarakos.[15] In 1962,Panathinaikos repeated as Greek League champions. That year, PAO also took part in a European-wide competition for the first time, facingHapoel Tel Aviv in theFIBA European Champions Cup1961–62 season.[16]
On 23 November 1963,Panathinaikos defeatedOlympiacos by a score of 90–48 in the Mantellos Cup, a tournament that was later replaced by theGreek Cup, which made its first appearance in 1976.[17]
In 1967,Panathinaikos were crowned Greek League champions, withGiorgos Kolokithas (one of the greatest basketball players of his era) among their ranks.[18]
In 1969, the conquest of the Greek League championship was followed by the club’s first European success, reaching the semifinals of theFIBA European Cup Winners' Cup1968–69 season, where they were eliminated byDinamo Tbilisi.[19]
The next year, 1970, PAO became the first Greek basketball team to include a foreign player (Craig Greenwood) in a European game.[20]
During these golden years,Panathinaikos won 10 out of 14Greek League championships,[21] with their great leader and scorerApostolos Kontos.
During this period,Kostas Mourouzis, nicknamedthe fox of coaching,[22] managed the "team of the 4 Ks" — the youngKontos,Koroneos,Kokolakis, andKefalos. These players, along withIordanidis, who acted as a link with older players, won five consecutive Greek League championships and achieved one of the greatest accomplishments of their era by reaching the semifinals of theFIBA European Champions Cup1971–72 season, aided by AmericanWilly Kirkland. Unfortunately,Ignis Varese, one of the giants of the era, proved an insurmountable obstacle for Panathinaikos.
Over the next four seasons, Panathinaikos captured the Greek League championship once, in 1977, and also won their firstGreek Cup in 1979. They acquiredMemos Ioannou in 1974 and Greek-AmericanDavid Stergakos in 1979, a player who would contribute greatly to the team in the coming years.
In the following five years, Panathinaikos won four Greek League championships (1980, 1981, 1982, 1984) and two Greek Cups (1982, 1983). Specifically, in 1982, while coached byKostas Politis, Panathinaikos achieved their first Greek double, as well as a 6th-place finish in theFIBA European Champions Cup1981–82 season. During the group stage of that season, Panathinaikos finished ahead of a strongCSKA Moscow team, winning a thrilling last-second game. The club's last Greek League championship before the subsequent decline came in 1984, when Panathinaikos won the decisive match inCorfu, withLiveris Andritsos andTom Kappos starring for the team.
Panathinaikos also had a chance to avoid the upcoming decline when they discoveredRony Seikaly, but Greek government bureaucratic issues prevented him from playing in theGreek League as a Greek citizen, despite claims that he was entitled to do so. This ultimately forced him to move to the United States to playcollege basketball atSyracuse.[23]
In 1985,PAO finished in 3rd place in theGreek League.Stergakos,Ioannou,Vidas,Andritsos, andKoroneos — who left the following year — were the key players. However, the balance of power in the Greek League had shifted in favour ofAris, and Panathinaikos ceased to be the league leader, assuming a secondary role. Nevertheless, they remained a worthy adversary. In 1986, against all odds, they eliminated the powerful Aris from theGreek Cup at the semifinal stage.[24] Panathinaikos then defeatedOlympiacos in the final, claiming what would be their last title until 1993.[25] During the next two seasons, PAO finished in 5th place in the Greek League, marking their worst results in many years.[26]
In 1988, the ban on foreign players in the Greek League was lifted, allowing Panathinaikos to acquireEdgar Jones from theNBA.[27] He proved to be a capable shooter, scorer, and rebounder, and for the next two years, he was the star of the team. Although PAO achieved significant wins over other major Greek teams, they did not secure any notable distinctions. Over the next two years,Antonio Davis, who later had a distinguished NBA career, replacedJones as the team leader.[28]
During this period, Panathinaikos also acquired some of the most talented young Greek players, includingFragiskos Alvertis,Nikos Oikonomou, andChristos Myriounis.[29] Despite this promising roster, the club experienced its worst period in history, finishing 7th in the Greek League in 1991 and dropping to 8th place in 1992, leaving them outside of European-wide competition for the first time since 1967.[30]
In 1992, Panathinaikos’ basketball department becameprofessional under the management of the Giannakopoulos family.[31] That summer, the club undertook a full reconstruction of the team, acquiringNikos Galis, widely regarded as Greece’s top basketball player,[32][33] who was joined by star playersStojko Vranković,Tiit Sokk,[34]Arijan Komazec, and Sasha Volkov.[35][36] Galis led Panathinaikos to aGreek Cup victory.[37] The team reached theGreek League championship finals but ultimately lost the title after withdrawing from the decisive fourth game in protest against refereeing decisions in Game 3.[38][39]
In the 1993–94 season, Galis, along with Sasha Volkov and Stojko Vranković, were key figures in Panathinaikos’ campaign, which culminated in a3rd-place finish at the1994 FIBA European League Final Four, the highest placement in the club’s history at that time.[40][41][42]
The 1994–95 season began with strong prospects as Panathinaikos acquiredPanagiotis Giannakis andŽarko Paspalj, making the team a favorite for all domestic titles.[43] The club eliminatedOlympiacos in a tough Greek Cup match before the start of the Greek League championship, winning 42–40 on 24 September 1994.[44] However, after the first few games of the Greek League,Nikos Galis retired from professional basketball, having been instrumental in both the Greek Cup victory and the decisiveFIBA European League qualifiers.[45][46] Despite some strong performances, the team finished3rd place in Europe.[47] Panathinaikos also reached the Greek League finals, losing 3–2 to Olympiacos.[48]
During the years 1996–98, Panathinaikos fulfilled all of their objectives by winning theFIBA European League championship, theFIBA Intercontinental Cup, and theGreek League championship (in that order).
In 1996, expectations for the team were very high, as it was imperative for Panathinaikos to obtain a significant title. In the summer of 1995, they acquired the nine-timeNBA All-Star,Dominique Wilkins, one of the top American players to ever play in Europe.[49] The head coach wasBožidar Maljković.[50] Along withGiannakis,Vranković,Alvertis, andPatavoukas, they comprised a very experienced roster.[51] In April 1996, atthe Paris Final Four, Panathinaikos became the first Greek team to lift theFIBA European League championship, defeatingBanca Catalana FC Barcelona 67–66.[52][53] Back in Greece, the team did not win the Greek League that season, losing toOlympiacos.[54]
For the 1996–97 season, Maljković restructured the roster to emphasize teamwork. Panathinaikos won the1996 FIBA Intercontinental Cup by defeatingOlimpia ofVenado Tuerto 2–1 in a three-game series.[55] However, the team finished 5th in the Greek League, losing the right to participate in the next season's EuroLeague.
In the 1997–98 season,Slobodan Subotić became head coach.[56] The club signedDino Rađja,Byron Scott,Fanis Christodoulou, and several other players.[57] With contributions fromAlvertis,Oikonomou, andKoch, Panathinaikos captured the Greek League championship, ending a 14-year domestic title drought.[58][59]
In the summer of 1998, chairmanPavlos Giannakopoulos reinforced the roster withDejan Bodiroga,Nando Gentile,Pat Burke, andNikos Boudouris.[60] During the 1998–99 Greek League playoffs,Olympiacos held home-court advantage, but Panathinaikos captured the decisive away victory in the final to secure the title.[61]

The arrival ofŽeljko Obradović atPanathinaikos in the summer of 1999 marked the beginning of an extraordinary era for the club, establishing it as one of the strongest teams in European club basketball history.[62]
Obradović’s first task was to build the team aroundDejan Bodiroga, Panathinaikos’ absolute leader at the time.[63] This strategy proved highly successful: Panathinaikos captured twoEuroLeague titles (2000 and 2002) after three consecutiveEuroLeague Finals appearances (2000–2002), and won three consecutive Greek League championships (1998–99, 1999–2000, 2000–01).[64]
In 2000, at theThessaloniki EuroLeague Final Four, Panathinaikos defeatedMaccabi Tel Aviv 73–67 to win its second EuroLeague title.[65] In 2002, at the2002 EuroLeague Final Four inBologna, Panathinaikos defeated hostsKinder Bologna 89–83, securing its third EuroLeague trophy.[66]
Despite these successes, Panathinaikos did not win the Greek Cup during this period.[67] Notable players includedRebrača,Gentile,Middleton,Alvertis,Kattash,Kutluay, andFotsis. Panathinaikos’ Greek League dominance was interrupted in 2002 — the same year they won their third EuroLeague title — and the departure of Bodiroga necessitated a roster renewal.
The 2002–03 season marked the start of Obradović’s restructuring of Panathinaikos. He returned the team to the top of Greek basketball, eventually leading them to nine consecutive Greek League championships (2003‑04 through 2010‑11), six domestic doubles, and twotriple crowns (Greek League, Greek Cup, and EuroLeague) in subsequent years, establishing a truedynasty.[68] With Bodiroga gone, the team shifted from a star-centric model to a system focused on teamwork. Players such asLakovič,Alvertis,Diamantidis,Fotsis,Tsartsaris,Batiste, and laterSpanoulis,Šiškauskas, andJasikevičius prioritized team success over individual accolades, transforming Panathinaikos into a title-winning machine independent of any single superstar.
At the2007 EuroLeague Final Four, held on their home court atTelekom Center Athens in Athens, Panathinaikos defeated defending championsCSKA Moscow 93–91 to win their fourth EuroLeague title.[69] The two teams met again in the2009 EuroLeague Final Four final in Berlin, where Panathinaikos won 73–71 for their fifth EuroLeague trophy.[70] On 14 December 2009, Panathinaikos was voted the top Greek sports team of the year, while Obradović was voted top coach.[71]
At the2011 EuroLeague Final Four inBarcelona, Panathinaikos defeatedMontepaschi Siena 77–69 in the semifinals, withCalathes contributing 17 points, six rebounds, and two steals.[72] In the final, Panathinaikos overcameMaccabi Tel Aviv 78–70, securing their sixth EuroLeague title and further cementing their status as Greece’s “Great Club.”[73]

After the departure ofObradović, Panathinaikos' new head coach,Argiris Pedoulakis, was forced to make extensive changes to the team, adding 12 new players to the roster, includingJames Gist,Roko Ukić, andNBA playersJason Kapono andMarcus Banks. TeamcaptainsDimitris Diamantidis andKostas Tsartsaris led the rebuilding effort for the Greens, who reached the EuroLeague quarterfinals, only to fall toFC Barcelona Regal in a five-game series.[74] Panathinaikos won their 14thGreek Cup by beatingOlympiacos in the final with a three-point difference (81–78).[75] During the same season, Panathinaikos managed to defeat Olympiacos twice on their home court in theGreek League Finals, winning the championship for the 33rd time in the club’s history.[76]
SinceDimitris Giannakopoulos became chairman of Panathinaikos, he made repeated efforts to secure marketing partnerships with Asian corporations. The first step came when Panathinaikos announced the signing of Chinese basketball playerShang Ping, making them the first European club to feature a Chinese player on its roster.[77] On 12 September 2013, Panathinaikos arrived inGuangzhou, becoming the first European team to travel to China by air for a basketball series. The following day, 13 September, Panathinaikos made European basketball history again, becoming the first European club to face aCBA team. They also became the first European team to defeat a Chinese team, theFoshan Dralions, with a score of 66–67.[78]
On 8 March 2014, following fan dissatisfaction with the team’s performance in theEuroLeague, the club announced the dismissal of head coachArgiris Pedoulakis.Fragiskos Alvertis, a legendary figure of the club, was appointed interim caretaker coach.[79] Under his guidance, Panathinaikos achieved another domestic double, defeatingOlympiacos in both theGreek Basketball Cup and theGreek Basket League Finals. Shortly afterward,Duško Ivanović was appointed as the club’s new head coach.[80]
On 5 April 2015, Panathinaikos defeatedApollon Patras in theGreek Cup Final with a score of 53–68, having previously overcomeOlympiacos andPAOK in earlier rounds.[81] The team also reached the EuroLeague playoffs but lost in the Greek League Finals to Olympiacos 0–3.
On 30 June 2015,Sasha Đjorđjević was announced as the club’s new head coach. That same summer, Panathinaikos signed Greekpoint guardNick Calathes and SerbiancenterMiroslav Raduljica. The team’s debut under the new leadership was promising, as Panathinaikos defeatedOlympiacos away in theGreek Basketball Cup with a score of 64–70 on 8 October 2015.[82] On 6 March 2016, they won the Greek Cup for a record 17th time (and fifth consecutive season), defeatingFaros Keratsiniou 101–52.[83]
On 19 April 2016,Sasha Đjorđjević was replaced byArgyris Pedoulakis, who returned as head coach. Nevertheless, Panathinaikos lost toOlympiacos in the Greek League Finals 1–3.[84]
Following the retirement ofDimitris Diamantidis, the club increased its budget to sign new key players, includingMike James,K.C. Rivers,Chris Singleton, andIoannis Bourousis. During this period, Panathinaikos also secured significant sponsorship deals, most notably withOPAP, Greece’s largest betting company. The appointment ofXavi Pascual as head coach marked the beginning of a new era for the team.[85]
In the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons, under Pascual, Panathinaikos won two consecutiveGreek League Championships against Olympiacos and the 2017Greek Basketball Cup against Aris. They also reached the EuroLeague playoffs both years, facing the eventual champions (Fenerbahçe in 2017 and Real Madrid in 2018), but were eliminated before the Final Four.[86][87]
In the 2017 Greek League Finals, Panathinaikos defeated Olympiacos 3–2, winning the decisive game away to secure their first league title in two years. The following season, Panathinaikos became the only team in Europe to complete their domestic regular season undefeated, later winning the Finals once again over Olympiacos 3–2.[88]
Despite the challenges that followed Obradović’s departure and the fluctuations in the club’s finances, Panathinaikos remains the only European basketball team to have won at least one title every season for 27 consecutive years, since 1996.[89]
After two and a half seasons, Panathinaikos parted ways with coachXavi Pascual on 20 December 2018.[90][91][92] Pascual paid the price for the team's poor performance and losing streak during the 2018–19EuroLeague.Georgios Vovoras served as Panathinaikos' interim head coach for the second time in his career, as the club reached an agreement with Hall of FamerRick Pitino to become the team's new head coach until the end of the 2018–19 season.[93]
Under coachPitino, Panathinaikos transformed into a stronger team, making an impressive comeback in the EuroLeague, finishing sixth and reaching the playoffs. There, they faced defending championsReal Madrid and were eliminated before theFinal Four. The season ended successfully, with Panathinaikos winning both theGreek Cup—defeatingPAOK in the final—and theGreek Basket League Championship, sweepingPromitheas Patras 3–0 in the finals.[94]
Panathinaikos offered Pitino a contract for the following season, and although he was willing to stay in Greece, family matters required him to return home.[95] On 24 June 2019, Panathinaikos signed a two-year contract with Greek coachArgyris Pedoulakis, marking his third stint as the team's head coach in seven years.[96] Pedoulakis's third stint ended on 15 November 2019, when Panathinaikos dismissed him after poor EuroLeague performance and elimination from theGreek Cup.Georgios Vovoras once again served as interim head coach.[97]
On 26 November 2019,Rick Pitino officially returned to Panathinaikos,[98] having resolved the family matter that had kept him away, and signed a one-and-a-half-year contract to serve as the team's head coach until summer 2021.[99] However, on 20 March 2020, Panathinaikos and Pitino mutually agreed to end their cooperation due to thecoronavirus pandemic, which forced the suspension of play in both theEuroLeague andGreek Basket League.[100] Pitino returned to his family in the United States and later became the head coach of theIona College team.[101] Once again,Georgios Vovoras served as interim head coach for the fourth time.[102]
In the summer of 2020, Panathinaikos went through major changes. On 10 June, the owner of the team,Dimitris Giannakopoulos, held a press conference where he announced that he would no longer be involved with Panathinaikos and that the club was up for sale for a price of 25 million euros.[103] As a result, a new and unusual era began for the Greens, meaning that the team had to be rebuilt and operated based on the balance sheet, and that players with large contracts could not stay with the club at the time. Many players had to leave the team, including long-time club captainNick Calathes.[104] Also, long-time Panathinaikos member in various roles, Manos Papadopoulos, who had been very close to the Giannakopoulos family for over 30 years, left the Greens to joinZenit Saint Petersburg as the club's sports director.[105]
On 26 June 2020, Panathinaikos announced that the club's sports management would be represented by the team's legends and former playersDimitris Diamantidis andFragiskos Alvertis, alongside former CEO Takis Triantopoulos.[106] Meanwhile,George Vovoras was named head coach for the challenging upcoming season.[107] After almost seven months, and due to the team's poor performance, Panathinaikos and coach Vovoras parted ways on 4 January 2021.[108]Kostas Charalampidis served as interim coach for a few days, until 14 January 2021, when Panathinaikos announcedOded Kattash as the club's new head coach on a one-and-a-half-year contract.[109] With coach Kattash, Panathinaikos managed to win both the2020–21 Greek Basket League[110] and2020–21 Greek Cup.[111] However, on 24 June 2021, the team parted ways with him.[112] Two days later, on 26 June 2021, Panathinaikos appointedDimitris Priftis as their new head coach on a three-year deal.[113] Priftis was no stranger to the team, having served as an assistant coach in 2014 under then head coachFragiskos Alvertis.
On 12 April 2022, after a home defeat in aGreek Basket League regular season game against Olympiacos, in an unexpected turn of events, coach Priftis, general managers Diamantidis and Alvertis, and technical director Nikos Pappas were all fired by Panathinaikos, while president Panagiotis Triantopoulos resigned.[114] Fragiskos Alvertis was given the option to stay with the club as team manager, but he declined, leaving Panathinaikos for the first time in his life after 32 years with the club.[115] Former Panathinaikos coachArgyris Pedoulakis was immediately appointed as the team's new technical director, responsible for the team and the hiring of a new coach. On 14 April 2022, Panathinaikos announced the return of head coachGeorge Vovoras for the remainder of the season, with formerLavrio B.C. head coachChristos Serelis joining as his assistant.[116] According to the team's official press release, the massive changes were due to the failure to "create a basic core of athletes and build a team for today and especially for tomorrow," as well as economic challenges based on maintaining a balanced budget.

In June 2022, Dimitris Giannakopoulos announced his comeback to Panathinaikos BC.
The2023-24 season started with Panathinaikos appointingErgin Ataman as its new coach for two years.[117] The deal was made official on 20 June 2023.[118] Following this, Panathinaikos signedKostas Sloukas, who instantly became the captain of the team after leaving Olympiacos. They also signedJuancho Hernangomez,Mathias Lessort,Ioannis Papapetrou,Jerian Grant,Dinos Mitoglou,Luca Vildoza,Kostas Antetokounmpo,Dimitris Moraitis,Aleksander Balcerowski, and, a few months later, their upcoming top-scorerKendrick Nunn.
In the2023–24 EuroLeague, Panathinaikos finished second in the regular season and returned to the playoffs after a five-year absence.[119] In the playoffs, Panathinaikos beatMaccabi Tel Aviv, winning the quarterfinal series 3–2. They qualified for theEuroLeague Final Four.[120] where the Greens defeated Fenerbahçe in the semifinal. They then blew out Real Madrid in the final, claiming their seventh EuroLeague title.Kostas Sloukas was crowned MVP of the Final Four.[121]
About a month later, Panathinaikos also won the2023–24 Greek Basket League. They beat Olympiacos 3–2 in the finals, coming back from a 0–2 deficit in the first two games. Kostas Sloukas was again named MVP of the finals.[122]
Although the2024-25 season wasn't as successful as the previous one as the team was riddled with key player serious injuries such asMathias Lessort,[123] the team still finished theGreek League regular season undefeated. Panathinaikos also won theGreek Cup on 16 February 2025 defeating again their rival Olympiacos in the final. At the end of the game, Kostas Sloukas was once more named MVP of the final.[124]
In the2024–25 EuroLeague, Panathinaikos finished the regular season in third place and qualified for the playoffs.[125]Kendrick Nunn won both theEuroLeague MVP and theAlphonso Ford EuroLeague Top Scorer Trophy.[126][127] In the Euroleague playoffs, Panathinaikos beatAnadolu Efes 3–2 and qualified for theFinal Four.[128] AtAbu Dhabi, where the Final Four took place, Panathinaikos facedFenerbahçe in the semifinal. They lost to the eventual champions.[129]
The2025–26 season started with high hopes for Panathinaikos following the signing of key additions such asT. J. Shorts,Richaun Holmes, andNikos Rogkavopoulos.[130]
The team did not compete in the2025 Greek Basketball Super Cup due to the scheduling conflict with the Pavlos Giannakopoulos Tournament in Australia. TheHellenic Basketball Federation (E.O.K.) refused to adjust the date despite being aware of the tournament for months, and the club was fined €20,000.[131]
The team quickly ran into significant depth issues in the frontcourt, asMathias Lessort did not return from his previous injury and bothRichaun Holmes andÖmer Yurtseven sustained injuries early in the season.[132]To address the sudden shortage of centers while assessing the recovery timelines of the injured players, Panathinaikos signedKenneth Faried to a two-month emergency contract.[133] This measure allowed the team to stabilize the roster and maintain competitiveness during the early stages of the season while waiting for the potential return of the sidelined centers.

Alternative colours also used include black,lime, dark blue or purple uniforms, and elements of golden yellow.Since 1992, the year in which the club's basketball department becameprofessional, Panathinaikos B.C. has used its own logo.

Panathinaikos' long-time home court is theTelekom Center Athens, which is the largest indoor venue in Greece. It is located inMarousi, and is a part of theAthens Olympic Sports Complex. Panathinaikos signed a concession contract with the Greek state in 2023 and thus became the venue's single operator for 49 years. The venue was inaugurated in 1995, was renovated for the2004 Summer Olympics, and underwent a total makeover in 2024. It is considered to be one of the biggest and most modern indoor sports arenas in all of Europe. Theseating capacity for basketball games is 18,300[142] however, the arena can hold up to a temporary capacity of 21,098.

Panathinaikos is renowned for its fans' passionate support. On 29 March 2006, during a home game atTelekom Center Athens againstBenetton Treviso in the second phase of the2005–06 EuroLeague, the team set a EuroLeague home attendance record of 20,000 fans.[143]
This record was later broken on 5 March 2009 at another Panathinaikos game, this time as the away team againstPartizan Belgrade atBelgrade Arena for the2008–09 EuroLeague season, when 22,567 fans attended the arena.[144] This remains the highest single game EuroLeague attendance recorded to date.
On 18 April 2013, during the 4th game of the2012–13 EuroLeague Quarterfinals againstFC Barcelona, it is estimated that 30,000 fans attended the game.[145] However, the EuroLeague does not officially recognize this as the all-time attendance record, as the number of fans exceeded the arena's officialseating capacity.
"Mr. Green" is the first official mascot of Panathinaikos B.C. Introduced in 2006, he is a green, muscular basketball player with a basketball for a head. He typically wears a jersey with the number "08," referencing 1908, the year Panathinaikos was founded. Creating Mr. Green took nearly a month, using materials commonly employed in Hollywood movie costumes, including those for Batman and Spider-Man.
He entertains fans during game breaks, gives away presents, and participates in various in-arena events. Mr. Green appears at every home game atTelekom Center Athens and takes part in social responsibility initiatives with children. He has also participated in six All-Star Games.[146]
On 18 September 2021, during the 2021–22 pre-season and the "3rd Pavlos Giannakopoulos Tournament," a new mascot named "Green Kong" was introduced: a grey-haired gorilla wearing a Panathinaikos jersey. Two years later, the team re-introduced the previous mascot, "Mr. Green."
Panathinaikos holds a major long-term rivalry withOlympiacos, and matches between the two teams are referred to as the "Derby of the Eternal Enemies." Panathinaikos is the most successful basketball club in Greece, with Olympiacos often finishing as runners-up. The two clubs are considered the most traditional powers in Greek basketball, having competed at the top level longer than any other teams.
Their rivalry intensified in the 1990s and 2000s, when they faced each other in numerousregular season andplayoff series, as well as in severalEuroLeague matches that became historic.
Panathinaikos previously held a minor rivalry withAris, mostly during the 1980s, when the two clubs were the dominant forces in Greek basketball. They also have minor rivalries withAEK andPAOK, primarily driven by fanbase interactions rather than on-court competition. However, none of these rivalries compare to the intensity and significance of the one with Olympiacos.
