'''[[Hapoel]] 'Migdal' Jerusalem''' ({{lang-he|הפועל 'מגדל' ירושלים}}) is a professional [[basketball]] team that is based in [[Jerusalem]], [[Israel]]. The club currently plays in the [[ULEB Eurocup|Eurocup]], [[Ligat HaAl (basketball)|Israeli Super League]] (the top division of Israeli basketball), and the [[Israeli Basketball State Cup|Israeli State Cup]].

==History==

[[File:Jerusalem102.JPG|300px|thumb|Hapoel Jerusalem fans in The [[Malha Arena]]]]
Hapoel Jerusalem was founded in 1943 and initially played in a small court on Histadrut Street, before moving to the YMCA Arena, and finally moving to the only indoor arena in Jerusalem at that time: "The Strauss Arena". In the late 1980s the team moved to the 3,000-seat [[Malha Arena]].

In 1996 and 1997, Hapoel won the [[Israeli Basketball State Cup|State Cup]], defeating [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]] in the finals, at the Yad Eliyahu Arena (now known as the [[Nokia Arena]]). The team was led by [[Adi Gordon]], widely considered the team's symbol and one of its best players.

In 2004, Hapoel Jerusalem won their first European title - the [[ULEB Cup]], defeating [[Real Madrid Baloncesto|Real Madrid]] in the final. (In the same year, the other major European basketball trophy—the [[Euroleague]] -- was won by another Israeli team, [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]].

In 2005 a percentage of the team was bought by the Israeli-Russian billionaire [[Arcadi Gaydamak]]. The team got stronger, and bought four American players, with an [[NBA]] record - [[Tamar Slay]], [[Horace Jenkins]], [[Roger Mason (basketball)|Roger Mason]] and [[Mario Austin]]. The team also purchased Israeli star [[Meir Tapiro]] and other Israeli leading players.

In 2007, Hapoel won its third [[Israeli Basketball State Cup|State Cup]], defeating [[Bnei HaSharon]] 103-85 at [[Nokia Arena]].

In early 2008 Hapoel came back from being 22 points down, in the 4th quarter to win its fourth [[Israeli Basketball State Cup|State Cup]], beating [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]] 93-89. In late 2008 Hapoel won its first [[Winner Cup]], beating [[Ironi Nahariya]] 84-69.

In September 2009, [[Guma Aguiar]] had joined Hapoel Jerusalem as the team's sponsor and helped clear the debts left by Mr. Gaydamak. This ensured Hapoel would be able to compete yet again at the highest leavels. On October 8, 2009 Hapoel beat [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]] in the Winner Cup finals 86-80, winning the club's second cup in a row.

The '''Irish Masters''' was a professional [[snooker]] tournament. It was founded in 1978, following on from the successful '''Benson & Hedges Ireland Tournament''' (alternatively known as the '''Benson & Hedges Ireland Championship''').

==History==
The '''Benson & Hedges Ireland Tournament''' started out as a challenge match in 1975 between [[Alex Higgins]] and [[John Spencer (snooker player)|John Spencer]]. In 1976 and 1977 the event was staged as a four man invitational, and was replaced by the '''Irish Masters''' in 1978. [[Benson & Hedges]] continued their sponsorship with the tournament being played at Goffs, [[County Kildare|Co. Kildare]]. After tobacco sponsorship was outlawed in Ireland in 2000, the Irish government funded the event from 2001 and it was subsequently relocated to the [[Citywest Hotel]], [[Saggart]], [[County Dublin|Co. Dublin]]. The tournament was staged on an invitational basis for most of its existence but became a [[Snooker world rankings|ranking]] tournament from the [[Snooker season 2002/2003|2002/03 season]]. The event was dropped from the calendar in the [[Snooker season 2005/2006|2005/2006 season]].<ref name="Irish Masters">{{cite web|last=Turner|first=Chris|title=Irish Masters|url=http://www.cajt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/irishmast.html|publisher=Chris Turner's Snooker Archive|accessdate=18 November 2010}}</ref>

In [[2007 Irish Masters|2007]], a three-day invitational event known as the ''Kilkenny Irish Masters'' was staged with 16 players. It attracted a strong field with 9 of the world's top 16 players taking part. [[Ronnie O'Sullivan]] won the title and also made a [[maximum break]] during the tournament, but it is not included in his official tally of maximum breaks since the event was not sanctioned by the [[World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Turner|first=Chris|title=Kilkenny Irish Masters|url=http://www.cajt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/misc4.html#Kilkenny|publisher=Chris Turner's Snooker Archive|accessdate=18 November 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=O'Sullivan drives Hawkins to drink|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/2007/0312/snooker.html|publisher=[[RTÉ Sport]]|accessdate=18 November 2010}}</ref>

The tournament has been dominated most of all by [[Steve Davis]], who has won the tournament 8 times. It has only been won by Irish players on two occasions, [[Alex Higgins]] in 1989 and [[Ken Doherty]] in 1998. Doherty claimed the title despite losing in the final 3 frames to 9 after his opponent, [[Ronnie O'Sullivan]], failed a subsequent drugs test. There was only one official [[maximum break]] in the history of the tournament. John Higgins made it in the quarter-finals of the 2000 event against [[Jimmy White]].<ref name="Irish Masters"/>

'''Mens Sana Basket''', more frequently referred to as '''Montepaschi Siena''', is an [[Serie A (basketball)|Italian League]] professional [[basketball]] club from [[Siena]]. More precisely, it is the now-autonomous basketball section of the comprehensive sports club ''Polisportiva Mens Sana''. "Montepaschi" is an internationalized short form for the name of the club's principal sponsor, the Siena [[bank]]ing company ''[[Monte dei Paschi di Siena|Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena]]''. For past club sponsorship names, see [[#Sponsorship names|the list below]].

==History==
The parent club, founded in 1871, claims to have been the first in Italy to play and organize basketball, asserting that it did so shortly after [[James Naismith]] invented the sport in 1891. However, despite its history, it was mostly a provincial side until 1973, when it joined Italy's top division for the first time. The club became increasingly competitive over the years, starting to play in European competitions in the 1990s.

Since the turn of the 21st century, Montepaschi has established itself as one of the strongest clubs in Europe, with a win in the [[Saporta Cup]], five [[Serie A (basketball)|Italian League]] Championships, and regular [[Euroleague]] appearances, including three trips to the competition's [[Euroleague Final Four]].

The '''World Cup for Champion Clubs''', commonly referred to as the '''Intercontinental Cup''', was a [[basketball]] competition endorsed by [[International Basketball Federation|FIBA]] to gather the best clubs from the federations affiliated to FIBA (excluding the professional NBA teams) and to officially decide the best club of the world, contended only by the continents of higher basketball level [[Europe]] and [[Americas]].

== History ==
The Intercontinental Cup competition was originally organized between the years 1966 and 1987.
In 1973, the competition adopted the name '''Intercontinental Cup [[Renato William Jones|William Jones]]''' to honor the secretary general of FIBA.
In 1996, [[FIBA]] tried to rebirth the competition by again organizing the Intercontinental Cup into a [[best-of-three playoff]] tournament between the winners of the [[Euroleague|FIBA European Championship]] (known now as the [[Euroleague]]) and the winners of the [[Liga Sudamericana]] (the champions of all of [[South America]]), but after this tournament the competition was then succeeded by the [[McDonald's Championship]], which included [[NBA]] clubs.

'''Bert Vlaardingerbroek''' (born 1960 in [[The Hague]]) is a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[darts]] player who competed in [[British Darts Organisation]] and [[World Darts Federation]] events.

Vlaardingerbroek made four [[BDO World Darts Championship]] appearances and lost in the first round each time, losing to [[Bob Anderson (darts player)|Bob Anderson]] in 1988, [[Denis Hickling]] in 1989, [[Cliff Lazarenko]] in 1990 and [[Martin Phillips (darts player)|Martin Phillips]] in 1992.

He also played in the [[Winmau World Masters]] five times, his best performance was a quarter final in 1986, beating [[Mike Gregory (darts player)|Mike Gregory]] and [[Lyndon Hextall]] before losing to [[Jocky Wilson]].

His most successful period in the game came during 1992-93, when he reached the final of the Swiss Open (1992) and twice reached the last four of the Dutch Open (1992–93). He also reached the quarter-finals of the Swiss Open and Belgian Open in 1993. The 1993 Swiss event was the first event to suffer the loss of the 16 "rebel" players who had formed the [[World Darts Council]] which led to the [[split in darts]].

The loss of the top players from the [[British Darts Organisation|BDO]]/[[World Darts Federation|WDF]] led to opportunities for players to make progress up the world rankings. However, Vlaardingerbroek was not one of those who capitalised and faded from the scene after the 1993 World Masters.

He never featured in the final stages of a major event until reaching the last 32 of the [[Winmau World Masters]] in 1999 and then competed in some [[PDC Pro Tour]] events in 2003, 2005 & 2006 in his native country, which invites resident country players to compete without having to commit to affiliation of the [[Professional Dart Players Association]].

The '''Zuiderduin Dutch Grand Masters''', more commonly referred to as the '''Zuiderduin Masters''', is a major darts tournament held in [[Egmond aan Zee]], [[the Netherlands]], run by the [[British Darts Organisation]] and the [[World Darts Federation]]. It is held in December and is traditionally the last BDO event held before the annual [[BDO World Darts Championship|World Championship]]. The tournament was an unranked event until 2008, when it was installed as a major event, along with the World Championships and the [[Winmau World Masters|World Masters]], following the cancellation of the [[World Darts Trophy]] and the [[International Darts League]].

==History==
The competition began in 1995, known as the Dutch Grand Masters, but the tournament ceased between 1997 and 1999. In 2000, it returned as the "European Grand Masters", and then became the "Doeland Grand Masters" from 2001 to 2004, and the "Leendesk Masters" in 2005. The 2006 Masters was postponed, and was to be held in March 2007, reverting to its original title "Dutch Grand Masters"<ref>[http://www.dartswdf.com/aa_darts/newsarchnov2006.htm] WDF NEWS ARCHIVES: NOVEMBER 2007</ref>. The event was later cancelled, due to lack of sponsorship, but was revived later that year when the tournament venue, the Hotel Zuidenduin, stepped in to sponsor the tounament, and it was branded the Zuiderduin Masters.

==Format==
The field is made up of 24 players. Qualification is determined from the top 16 players from the Zuiderduin Masters ranking table, which is separate from the BDO/WDF World Rankings, as well four players from the International Darts Tour of the Lowlands (IDTL), and the winner of the Netherlands Champions League, plus 3 wild cards. If an IDTL qualifier is already qualified through his ranking, an extra wild card becomes available.

The 24 players are split into 8 groups, with each player playing 2 matches, best of 9 legs. The top player from each group advance to the quarter-finals, which is played in set format through to the final.

==Venue==
The tournament has been held at the Hotel Zuiderduin in [[Egmond aan Zee]]. In 2007, following the postponement of the 2006 event, plans were made to host the 2007 Dutch Grand Masters in [[Rosmalen]], but after it was cancelled, the plans were aborted and it remained in Egmond.

Dutch Open (darts)

2010-12-23T14:08:08Z

84.106.28.168: /* List of winners */

The '''Dutch Open''' is amongst the longest running darts tournaments having started back in 1973. The popularity of darts in the [[Netherlands]] since [[Raymond van Barneveld]] began amassing world titles has seen the number of entries for the tournament rise dramatically. The 2007 event had 2867 entries in the Men’s Singles, 1179 in the Men’s Pairs, 418 in the Women’s Singles and 176 in the Women’s Pairs. Although the tournament is classed an "Open" event, only players eligible to for the Winmau World Masters and BDO World Championship are now allowed to enter. This had ruled out PDC players from competing since 2006. [http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:JC2T6dUZ6hkJ:www.darts.fi/kisailmoituksia/Dutch_Open_2007.pdf+dutch+open+darts+entries&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=uk]

The 2002 version of the tournament saw the first live [[nine dart finish]] during the final between [[Shaun Greatbatch]] and [[Steve Coote]]. Greatbatch checked out using T20, T15, D18 during the third leg of the second set, The tournament has been covered by Dutch [[SBS6]] television in recent years, and also by [[Eurosport]] across Europe.

Dutch Open (darts)

2010-12-23T14:06:31Z

84.106.28.168: /* List of winners */

The '''Dutch Open''' is amongst the longest running darts tournaments having started back in 1973. The popularity of darts in the [[Netherlands]] since [[Raymond van Barneveld]] began amassing world titles has seen the number of entries for the tournament rise dramatically. The 2007 event had 2867 entries in the Men’s Singles, 1179 in the Men’s Pairs, 418 in the Women’s Singles and 176 in the Women’s Pairs. Although the tournament is classed an "Open" event, only players eligible to for the Winmau World Masters and BDO World Championship are now allowed to enter. This had ruled out PDC players from competing since 2006.

The 2002 version of the tournament saw the first live [[nine dart finish]] during the final between [[Shaun Greatbatch]] and [[Steve Coote]]. Greatbatch checked out using T20, T15, D18 during the third leg of the second set, The tournament has been covered by Dutch [[SBS6]] television in recent years, and also by [[Eurosport]] across Europe.

'''Mark Webster''' (born 12 August 1983 in [[St Asaph]]<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://www.itv.com/Sport/Darts/Playerprofiles/MarkWebster/default.html|title=Bio- Mark Webster|publisher=ITV Sport|date=30 October 2007|accessdate=14 January 2008}}</ref>) is a left-handed [[Wales|Welsh]] darts player who lives in [[Denbigh]]. Known as ''Webby'', he plays in [[Professional Darts Corporation]] events, having previously won the [[2008 BDO World Darts Championship|2008 BDO World Championship]]. He is not a full-time professional player, his main career being as a [[plumber]]. He is sponsored by Winmau Dartboard company.

==Darts career==
Webster made progress once he was aged 18 and could play in Local Darts Leagues in [[public house]]s in his native [[North Wales]]. He started playing for the local "Golden Lion" team like both of his parents, and still plays regularly for his pub team.<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://www.dailypost.co.uk/sport-news/other-sport/2008/01/04/mark-webster-ready-for-crack-at-darts-title-55578-20312900/|title=Mark Webster ready for crack at darts title|publisher=Daily Post|author=Rob Griffiths|date=4 January 2008|accessdate=14 January 2008}}</ref>

He first came to prominence in 2006, winning the 2006 [[World Darts Federation|WDF]] Europe Cup, and making the semi-finals of the 2006 [[Winmau World Masters]]. In other BDO/WDF tournaments during 2006 he won the Northern Ireland Open and reached the semi-finals of the Welsh Open. However, he underperformed in the subsequent 2007 World Championship, losing on his debut to [[Tony Eccles]] 3–0 in the first round.

In May 2007, he beat [[Phil Taylor]] in the group stages on his way to the final of the [[2007 International Darts League|International Darts League]] – however he lost to 9–13 to [[Gary Anderson (darts player)|Gary Anderson]]. However, he added to his growing collection of titles by winning the [[WDF World Cup darts|World Cup Singles]] in October 2007.

Despite his lack of major television tournament wins, Webster entered the [[2008 BDO World Darts Championship|2008 BDO World Championship]] as the number one seed due to his success in open events. This time around, Webster justified his status as joint-favourite for the title (alongside Anderson), as he beat [[Ian Jones (darts player)|Ian Jones]] in the first round, popular qualifier [[Glenn Moody]] in the last 16 and ninth seed [[Darryl Fitton]] in the quarter-finals. He played defending champion [[Martin Adams]] in the semi-finals, beating him 6–4 and earning a place in the final. He then beat [[Simon Whitlock]] 7–5 in the final on 13 January 2008,<ref>{{citeweb|url=http://sport.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,2240301,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed=networkfront|title=Webster claims first world title in dramatic final|publisher=The Guardian|author=Gregg Roughley|date=13 January 2008|accessdate=14 January 2008}}</ref> to become the third Welshman to win the World Championship of either organisation, after [[Leighton Rees]] and [[Richie Burnett]].

Webster did not play in a lot of tournaments in 2008, instead choosing to remain in college in order to earn his plumbing degree. He did though retain the WDF Europe Cup, beating [[Northern Ireland]]'s [[Daryl Gurney]] in the final. Webster also had a great run into the quarter finals of the [[2008 Grand Slam of Darts]]. After surprisingly losing his opening group game to [[Colin McGarry]], he went on to whitewash [[Michael van Gerwen]] 5–0 and despite losing to [[Mervyn King (darts player)|Mervyn King]], Webster went through to the knockout stages on leg difference after McGarry failed to beat van Gerwen. Webster then demolished PDC World Champion [[John Part]] 10-2 – in a battle of the incumbent world champions – to reach the quarter finals where he lost again to King. Webster then suffered a last 16 exit in the 2008 World Masters, losing to [[Ross Montgomery]] and then went out in the group stages of the Zuiderduin Masters. Having beaten [[Martin Atkins (darts player)|Martin Atkins]], he lost to wildcard entrant [[Henny van der Ster]] who claimed the quarter final spot ahead of Webster and went on to reach the semi finals.

Webster entered the [[2009 BDO World Darts Championship|2009 BDO World Championship]] as the number two seed. He defeated Dutchman [[Willy van de Wiel]] 3–0 in the first round but his title reign came to an end in the second round when he was beaten 4–0 by 2001 Lakeside Champion [[John Walton (darts player)|John Walton]].

==PDC career==
With rumours persisting over a potential switch to the PDC, Webster had remained defiant that he would return to Lakeside in 2010. However, it was announced on 5 February 2009 that Webster had joined the PDC, making his debut at the double-header Players Championship events in [[Gladbeck]] at the end of February.

In his PDC debut he did not manage to earn any prize money—losing 6–1 to [[Ronnie Baxter]] in the opening round. The following day however, Webster got through to the second round of the Sunday event in Gladbeck, earning his first prize money as a PDC player.

|publisher=pdc.tv
|date=5 February 2009
|accessdate=5 February 2009}}</ref>

Having started from scratch in the PDC rankings, Webster had to build up ranking points by entering the [[PDC Pro Tour]] events. His best result came at the UK Open Scottish Regional Qualifier in March when he reached the semi-final. He also managed two quarter final appearances in Players Championship Events in the East Midlands in April and Atlanta in August. By October 18 he had played in 31 Pro Tour events. His PDC Prize Money, boosted by a run to the last 16 of the UK Open had totalled £10,800 and his ranking had improved to 71.

In his debut at the PDC World Championship in 2010, Webster defeated established players including [[Mark Walsh (darts player)|Mark Walsh]], [[Peter Manley]] and [[Co Stompe]] to reach the semi-final, where he was outplayed by Taylor. Webster did, however, earn the consolation of third place via a playoff match with van Barneveld, earning an extra £20,000 in the process and entering the top 32 in the PDC rankings for the first time.

Websters current practice venue for darts is Rileys Snooker and Darts club in Wellington Street, Canton, Cardiff.

===1998-2004===
Founded in [[1998]] under the name Ehitustööriist, the team already entered the [[Korvpalli Meistriliiga|Estonian League]] in its debut season, finishing last in [[1999]] and [[2000]] with a combined record of 2-53. Despite of the hard start the team had a firm goal of developing young talent to create one of the top [[Baltic states|Baltic]] teams. Ehitustööriist struggled in the [[Korvpalli Meistriliiga|Estonian League]] for three more years between [[2001]] and [[2003]], but went a step higher in the 2003-04 season under the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] coach [[Maarten Van Gent]], finishing fifth overall with a respectable 13-20 record.

===2004-2006===
It all changed in a historical 2004-05 season, as the club's hard work paid off in the most incredible way.

Retrieved on 2009-01-24</ref> Kalev also participated in the first season of the [[Baltic Basketball League]] finishing eight among ten teams.

==Head coaches==

Kalev's first and longest serving head coach is Allan Dorbek. Together with his long-time assistant Maarten Van Gent (head coach in 2003-04 season) they brought the team to an international level. As a result of their hard work, Kalev won its first Estonian title in 2005 under the name Ehitustööriist. In 2006, together with a new name and management, the team introduced former top basketballer [[Aivar Kuusmaa]] as the new head coach.<ref>"[http://www.ohtuleht.ee/index.aspx?id=176077&q=tugevuselt Hüvasti, korvikütt Kuusmaa! Edu, treener!]". Õhtuleht (2005-06-16). Retrieved on 2009-01-22 {{et icon}}</ref> For the next season Kuusmaa was named second coach beside Veselin Matic. The Serb coached Kalev/Cramo for two seasons winning two Estonian cups, but no domestic championships. In summer of 2008 the team signed a two-year contract with New Zealander [[Nenad Vučinić]].<ref name="nenad"/> Vučinić won the 2008-09 Estonian Cup and national championship with the team and led Kalev to the third place in the BBL regular season. 2009-10 season was not so good and Vučinić was replaced by [[Alar Varrak]] in early January 2010.

==History==
The club was founded in 1931 by [[Gosudarstvennoye Politicheskoye Upravlenie|GPU]] officer Filaret Adamovich. The team initially consisted of players from [[Baku]] and [[Smolensk]] and played in the [[Western Oblast]] league. Dynamo was among the leading teams of the region until 1936, when Bryansk became part of [[Oryol Oblast]] and Adamovich left the city.

After the [[World War II]] Dynamo returned to leading roles, now in the newly formed [[Bryansk Oblast]]. In 1949 and 1952 the club played in the [[RSFSR]] league, and in 1959 they won the Bryansk Oblast championship.

The success of 1959 allowed Dynamo to enter the national [[Soviet First League|Class B]] in 1960. In 1967 they finished first in their zone and qualified for the semi-finals, where they were fifth. In 1968 Dynamo were first in the zone again, but also managed to finish first in the semi-finals and fourth in the finals, securing promotion to [[Soviet First League|Class A, Second Group]]. Dynamo managed to stay at that level for two years, being relegated in 1970. In 1971–1991 they played in the [[Soviet Second League]], their highest achievement being the league championship in 1989.

After the dissolution of USSR Dynamo played in the [[Russian Second Division|Russian Second League]] in 1992–1993, Third League in 1994–1997 and Second Division in 1998–2003. In 2003 Dynamo finished at the top of the Second Division Centre zone, level on points with [[FC Oryol]]. In the championship playoff Oryol won the promotion to the [[Russian First Division|First Division]], however after the exclusion of [[FC Dynamo Saint Petersburg|Dynamo SPb]], Dynamo Bryansk were also granted promotion.
In 2006-2007 season Dynamo qualified for the semi-finals of [[Russian Cup (football)|Russian Cup]], where were defeated by [[FC Moscow]] in 2 matches series (1:1, 0:1).

'''MBC Dynamo Moscow''' (in {{lang-ru|'''МБК Динамо Москва'''}}) is a [[Russia]]n professional [[basketball team]] from [[Moscow]], [[Russia]] that competes in the [[Russian Professional Basketball League|PBL]].

==History==
====Early Years====
Created in 1923 when Russia was part of the [[Soviet Union]], Dynamo is among the oldest sports clubs in the country. Its name was chosen because [[Dynamo]] means 'power in motion'. The club was backed by the [[State Political Directorate]] (GPU), a police apparatus of the USSR. That is why the team has always been thought of as the police club, while cross-town rival [[PBC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]] was the [[Red Army|army club]]. However, the connection between the police and the sportsmen at Dynamo has been almost non-existent in recent years. Dynamo quickly earned a reputation outside the Soviet Union borders due to its success in major sports such as [[Association football|football]], [[Team handball|handball]], [[ice hockey]] and, of course, basketball. Dynamo Moscow won the USSR Championship in 1937 and 1948 and also made it to the final in 1944 and 1990.

====1960s and 1970s====
Over the decades, Dynamo earned a reputation for being among the strongest teams nationally and around the continent. Dynamo finished third in the Soviet Union League standings in 1946, 1957 and 1958, as well as making it to the 1950 and 1952 USSR Cup final. Years of domestic obscurity followed in which the team could not achieve any remarkable domestic success. A few former Dynamo players participated in some of the most historic moments in USSR sport. [[Aleksandr Boloshev]] was a member of the Olympic Team that won the [[gold medal]] in [[Basketball at the 1972 Summer Olympics|Munich 1972]]. Furthermore, [[Vladimir Zhigili]], one of the most famous players in Dynamo’s history, was [[FIBA World Championship|World Champion]] in [[Puerto Rico]] in [[1974 FIBA World Championship|1974]].

====Modern Era====
The team found new success outside its domestic borders in the mid-1990s. Dynamo made it all the way to the [[Saporta Cup|Cup Winners' Cup]] semi-final in 1991, losing to eventual champ [[PAOK BC|PAOK Thessaloniki]]. The team also qualified for the [[Korac Cup]] in 1992. 1994 and 1995 without much success, despite having players like [[Sergei Bazarevich]], Pavel Astakhov, Sergei Babenko or [[Evgeniy Pashutin]]. Things changed in 1996, however, as Dynamo shone in the 1996 Saporta Cup. The club brought in players like Bazarevich, [[Vitaly Nosov]], and [[Valeri Daineko]]. Dynamo went all the way from the previous round, survived the group stage and made it to the best-of-three semi-finals playoffs. [[TAU Cerámica]] swept the series with a 87-98 road win in Moscow and a 104-93 home thriumph in [[Vitoria-Gasteiz|Vitoria]], and it went on to win the title against PAOK Thessaloniki. The club could not live up to the expectations and one year after that, in 1997, Dynamo Moscow disappeared due to financial reasons despite having played the [[Euroleague]] for the first time in club history.

It was not until 2001 when Dynamo reappeared in the Russian basketball scene. MBC Dynamo Moscow was created under the support of the [[Dynamo (sports society)|Dynamo society]] and its chairman [[Vladimir Pronichev]]. Dynamo entered the Russian League second division in the 2001-02 season and won the title that very same year, returning to the elite of Russian basketball. The club had to face new financial problems but once again the Dynamo organization, led by chairman Viktor Zakharov and his assistant Vladimir Mikhalevsky, stepped up to solve all troubles and give the team the economic stability it needed. MBC Dynamo Moscow joined the Dynamo organization in Moscow City and found a new president in his ex-coach [[Evgeny Gomelsky]], brother of the legendary coach and former CSKA president, the late [[Alexander Gomelsky]]. Dynamo finished sixth in the 2002-03 Russian League with players like [[Nikita Morgunov]], [[Martin Müürsepp]], Bazarevich, Aleksander Milosserdov or [[Dmitri Domani]], who remains now as the team [[Captain (sports)|captain]]. Dynamo did even better in the 2003-04 season, in which players like [[Nikos Ekonomou]], [[Jimmy Oliver]], [[Nikolay Padius]], [[Damir Mršić]] and the late [[Kenyon Jones (basketball)|Kenyon Jones]] helped the team to make it to the Russian League semi-finals.

Dynamo continues taking steps forward and making a big financial effort to incorporate some of the best European players in the market. As such, for 2004-05, Dynamo signed the Euroleague all-time top rebounder, [[Mirsad Türkcan]], the 2003-04 Euroleague regular season top scorer [[Lynn Greer]], center [[Lazaros Papadopoulos]] and solid, well-rounded veterans such as [[Arriel McDonald]], [[Trajan Langdon]], [[Kšyštof Lavrinovič]] and [[Andrei Fetisov]]. Dynamo won difficult Group D in the [[ULEB Cup]] regular season and was considered a top candidate to go far in the elimination rounds, especially when the team won the first leg of the two-way eighth-finals series on the road against [[KK Hemofarm|Hemofarm]], 81-84, but lost 96-75 on their own home court. Dynamo once again has a competitive roster in which Papadopoulos, Domani and Valentin Koubrakov returned to be joined by some team-oriented players such as [[Ruben Douglas]], [[Mire Chatman]], [[Bojan Popović]], [[Hanno Möttölä]] and [[Antonis Fotsis]]. Moreover, Dynamo landed one of the best head coaches in European basketball history, none other than the legendary [[Dušan Ivković]]. With the right environment, a solid roster, a great coach and the hunger to win its first-ever European title, in 2006 the team won the [[ULEB Cup]].

In 2006 the club moved to its new arena in the [[Krylatskoe Sport Palace|Krуlatskoe Sports Center]].

'''Fortitudo Pallacanestro Bologna''' is a prominent [[Serie A (basketball)|Italian League]] professional [[basketball]] club that is based in [[Bologna]]. It began the current 2008-09 season as the only club in the top Italian League that did not include a sponsor's name (not typical for Italian basketball), but in November 2008 signed a sponsorship deal with the American financial services company [[GMAC]] (part of [[General Motors|GM]]). For past sponsors, see [[#Sponsorship names|the list below]].

==History==
Despite being one of Europe's richest clubs, Fortitudo has for much of its history played second fiddle in its own city to arch rivals [[Virtus Bologna]]. Fortitudo won its first major trophy in 1998, winning the Italian Cup.

Fortitudo made the Italian League championship finals ten consecutive years (1997 through 2006). After three straight finals losses, Fortitudo won the Italian League Championship for the first time in 2000. Four consecutive finals losses were followed by Fortitudo's second league title in 2005, courtesy of a 3-1 win over [[Olimpia Milano|Armani Jeans Milano]] in the finals series when [[instant replay]] upheld a Ruben Douglas [[buzzer beater]] in Game 4 of the championship series.

In recent years, Fortitudo has become a fixture in the [[Euroleague]], basketball's equivalent to the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] in [[football (soccer)|football]]. It got to the Final four in 1999 (it lost in semifinal against Virtus Bologna) and the semifinal of Euroleague playoffs in 2001 (again eliminated by the eternal rivals of Virtus); then the club lost in the Euroleague final in 2004 to [[Maccabi Tel-Aviv (basketball)|Maccabi Tel-Aviv]] by 44 points, after defeating [[Mens Sana Basket|Montepaschi Siena]] on the day before in semifinal. However, they had a subpar [[Serie A (basketball) 2006-07|2006-07 season]] by their recent standards, finishing 13th out of 18 teams after changing coaches no less than three times. They nonetheless made the field for the [[ULEB Cup 2007-08|2007-08]] [[ULEB Cup]], as most of Italy's entries to that competition are based on performance over a three-year period, and Fortitudo's past performances compensated for their disappointing 2006-07 campaign.

Fortitudo's home arena is [[Land Rover Arena|Paladozza]], now also known for sponsorship reasons as [[Land Rover]] Arena.

'''Fortitudo Pallacanestro Bologna''' is a prominent [[Serie A (basketball)|Italian League]] professional [[basketball]] club that is based in [[Bologna]]. It began the current 2008-09 season as the only club in the top Italian League that did not include a sponsor's name (not typical for Italian basketball), but in November 2008 signed a sponsorship deal with the American financial services company [[GMAC]] (part of [[General Motors|GM]]). For past sponsors, see [[#Sponsorship names|the list below]].

==History==
Despite being one of Europe's richest clubs, Fortitudo has for much of its history played second fiddle in its own city to arch rivals [[Virtus Bologna]]. Fortitudo won its first major trophy in 1998, winning the Italian Cup.

Fortitudo made the Italian League championship finals ten consecutive years (1997 through 2006). After three straight finals losses, Fortitudo won the Italian League Championship for the first time in 2000. Four consecutive finals losses were followed by Fortitudo's second league title in 2005, courtesy of a 3-1 win over [[Olimpia Milano|Armani Jeans Milano]] in the finals series when [[instant replay]] upheld a Ruben Douglas [[buzzer beater]] in Game 4 of the championship series.

In recent years, Fortitudo has become a fixture in the [[Euroleague]], basketball's equivalent to the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] in [[football (soccer)|football]]. It got to the Final four in 1999 (it lost in semifinal against Virtus Bologna) and the semifinal of Euroleague playoffs in 2001 (again eliminated by the eternal rivals of Virtus); then the club lost in the Euroleague final in 2004 to [[Maccabi Tel-Aviv (basketball)|Maccabi Tel-Aviv]] by 44 points, after defeating [[Mens Sana Basket|Montepaschi Siena]] on the day before in semifinal. However, they had a subpar [[Serie A (basketball) 2006-07|2006-07 season]] by their recent standards, finishing 13th out of 18 teams after changing coaches no less than three times. They nonetheless made the field for the [[ULEB Cup 2007-08|2007-08]] [[ULEB Cup]], as most of Italy's entries to that competition are based on performance over a three-year period, and Fortitudo's past performances compensated for their disappointing 2006-07 campaign.

Fortitudo's home arena is [[Land Rover Arena|Paladozza]], now also known for sponsorship reasons as [[Land Rover]] Arena.

'''Virtus Pallacanestro Bologna''' is a prominent [[Serie A (basketball)|Italian League]] professional [[basketball]] club that is based in [[Bologna]]. Virtus returned to Italy's [[Serie A (basketball)|top division]] for the [[Serie A (basketball)|Serie A 2005-06]] season after two years in the second division. For past club sponsorship names, see [[#Sponsorship names|the list below]].

==History==
Virtus was founded in 1871 as a [[gymnastics]] club, and fielded its first professional basketball teams in the 1920s. The club has won 15 national league titles in Italy's [[Serie A (basketball)|top division]] and 8 Italian Cups. It has also been a frequent participant in the [[Euroleague]], the basketball equivalent to [[football (soccer)|football]]'s [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]. Virtus' best season, as measured by trophies won, was 2000-01, when it won the [[Serie A (basketball)|Italian League]], Italian Cup, and Euroleague titles all in the same season, giving the club the coveted [[Triple Crown in Basketball]] championship for the year (though the latter came against the field that did not include all of Europe's national champions as some of them competed in [[Suproleague]] that year). It also won the Euroleague in 1998 led by club hero and icon [[Predrag Danilović]].

However, several key members of Virtus' treble-winners left immediately after that accomplishment. After the 2001-02 season, [[Manu Ginóbili]], the Final Four MVP of [[Euroleague 2000-01]], left for the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]], as did another important player [[Marko Jarić]]. At the end of the 2002-03 season, Virtus suffered [[relegation]] from Italy's top division as a result of financial problems.

The [[local derby]] between Virtus and [[Fortitudo Bologna]] is one of the most intense in the entire world of sports. ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' writer [[Alexander Wolff]] devoted a chapter of his 2002 basketball book, ''Big Game, Small World'' (ISBN 0-446-52601-0), to this rivalry.

Virtus' home stadium is [[Futurshow Station]] (previously known as ''Palamalaguti'').

In 2009, Virtus Bologna returned to european and club success by winning the [[EuroChallenge]], against [[Cholet Basket]] in the final. MVP of the final-four was [[Keith Langford]].

'''Olympiacos BC''' ({{lang-el|ΚΑΕ Ολυμπιακός}}), also known simply as '''Olympiacos''' and '''Olympiacos Piraeus''', is a [[Greece|Greek]] professional [[basketball]] club, part of [[Olympiacos CFP]], based in [[Piraeus]], [[Athens]]. The basketball club, founded in 1931, is one of the most successful in [[Greece]] and a traditional powerhouse in European competitions. They have won nine [[A1 Ethniki|Greek League]] titles, eight [[Greek Basketball Cup|Greek Cups]], one [[Euroleague]] championship, and one [[Triple Crown in Basketball|Triple Crown]]. They play their home matches at [[Peace and Friendship Stadium]].

The first major achievement of Olympiacos in European competitions was their presence in the European Champions Cup semifinal group stage in 1979, but it was in the 1990s that Olympiacos made their biggest mark. They reached the Euroleague final in two consecutive seasons, being the first Greek club that ever played in a Euroleague final, and played in two more final fours, winning the Euroleague title in 1997 and achieving the first [[Triple Crown in Basketball|Triple Crown]] for a Greek team. As European champions, they played in the [[1997 McDonald's Championship]] and reached the final of the tournament, where they played against [[Michael Jordan]]'s [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] champions, the [[Chicago Bulls]].

Under the ownership of the billionaire [[Greeks|Greek]] brothers [[Panagiotis Angelopoulos]] and [[Giorgos Angelopoulos]], Olympiacos made a record-transfer in 2008, by signing NBA player [[Josh Childress]], whose [[Dollar|$]]20 million [[net income]] contract for three years made him the highest-paid basketball player in the world outside the NBA.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/article/124628 |title=Olympiacos Ownership Duo Entices Former NBAer Josh Childress |publisher=Sports Business Daily |date=2008-10-13 |accessdate=2009-03-03}}</ref> After a period of decline in the mid-2000s, the club returned to the forefront of European basketball reaching the Euroleague final four in 2009, ten years after their previous appearance, and playing in the Euroleague final in 2010.

==History==
===1930s-1960s===
[[Image:DSC00279 Alekos Spanoudakis.JPG|thumb|right|100px|Alekos Spanoudakis]]
Beginning in the 1930s, Olympiacos was the first Greek team to familiarize itself with American style basketball as [[Alekos Spanoudakis]] learned to imitate the jump shot of American sailors and his brother [[Giannis Spanoudakis]] (who was both player and coach of the team) met basketball legend [[Bob Cousy]] and practiced many of his secrets on the court. The Spanoudakis brothers led the club to its first [[A1 Ethniki|Greek Championship]] in 1949. The second title didn't come until 11 years later, in 1960, which allowed the Reds for the first time to qualify for the European Champions Cup. It was their first ever participation at the European level as well.

===1970s-1980s===
It wasn't until 1976 that the coach [[Fedon Matheou]] managed to create a strong team based on the stars [[Steve Giatzoglou]], [[Giorgos Kastrinakis]], [[Giorgos Barlas]]. Olympiacos would win another Greek title and it did so in unprecedented fashion, running off 22 victories in 22 games. Olympiacos also won the Greek cup, while in the same year they also did very well in the [[Saporta Cup|Cup Winner's Cup]] reaching the last 8. The next year [[Kostas Mourouzis]] was the coach and the team reached to 2nd place of the championship and won the Greek cup. Another Greek title followed in 1978 winning the Greek cup too.

In 1979 the club also had their first significant success in Europe, reaching the final round (Final 6) of the European Championship. The final round of that year was one of the toughest ever in the competition. So, Olympiacos didn't manage to do anything better than finishing 6th, achieving a single 79-77 win over [[Maccabi Tel Aviv (basketball)|Maccabi Tel Aviv]] in [[Athens]], while in the tense match in [[Tel Aviv]], the Reds suffered one of their heaviest defeats 51-93. In general, Olympiacos was a tough home team, although they lost all the rest of their home matches, the scores were close: 84-95 to [[Joventut Badalona]] (77-91 away), 68-72 to [[Pallacanestro Varese|Varese]] (67-92 away), 97-101 to [[Real Madrid Baloncesto|Real Madrid]] (72-113 away), 83-88 to [[KK Bosna|Bosna Sarajevo]] (72-89 away). Olympiacos won another [[Greek Basketball Cups|Greek Cup]] title in 1980. In 1979, 1980, 1981 Olympiacos placed at the second place of the Greek championship.

==== 1982-1991 crisis ====
[[Image:DSC00282 Argyris Kambouris.JPG|thumb|right|100px|[[Argyris Kambouris]]]]
Although the 1970s was the most successful decade for the team up to that time, the 1980s marked a low period for the Reds, who didn't manage to play a major domestic role, being out shined by the up-and-coming super powers from [[Thessaloniki]], [[Aris BC|Aris]] and [[PAOK BC|PAOK]]. The team based on [[Argyris Kambouris]] the hero of [[Eurobasket 1987]] but his strong effort wasn' t enough to avoid the failure. Foreign players such as [[Carey Scurry]], [[Todd Mitchell]], couldn't find more help from the other players.

===1990s===
It was in the 1990s that the Reds made their biggest mark. The middle of that decade belonged to Olympiacos, not only in Greece, but also on the continent of Europe. In the 1991 - 1992 season, record holding Greek basketball coach [[Giannis Ioannidis]] left Aris to manage Olympiacos, the torpid giant, and created a tough, team-oriented, offensive basketball team. In addition to this, Olympiacos left the old Papastrateio Indoor Hall, to move into [[Peace and Friendship Stadium]] (commonly called SEF), an [[indoor arena]] at that time of 17,000 seats and the biggest in Greece until the [[Olympic Indoor Hall]] was inaugurated in 1995. By that year the club had fully rebounded, climbing all the way back to rule Greece. They finished second in the [[A1 Ethniki|Greek League]] behind PAOK.

==== The 5 consecutive championships ====
[[Image:Zarko Paspalj.JPG|thumb|right|100px|[[Zarko Paspalj]]]]
Five consecutive Greek Championships from 1993 to 1997 and two Greek Cups in 1994 and 1997, made the team the indubitable dominant club in Greece. During this period, Olympiacos was the best supported basketball team, not only in Greece, as Peace and Friendship Stadium was full in most of their matches, making Olympiacos invincible in it, but in Europe as well. In addition to their domestic success, Olympiacos became the most successful team in the [[Euroleague]] of that period, leading [[FIBA Europe|FIBA]] to select them as the Best Team of Europe in the decade of the 1990s.

In the [[1992-93 FIBA European Championship|1992 - 1993]] season, in their first year in the Euroleague, they didn't manage to qualify for the [[Athens]] Final Four which was held at their home court, SEF, as they were eliminated by [[CSP Limoges|Limoges]] in the quarter-finals in three games. However, despite finishing 4th in the Greek A1 regular season, they won their first Greek championship since 1978, defeating PAOK in the semi-finals and [[Panathinaikos BC|Panathinaikos]] in the finals. Even though both of Olympiacos' opponents had the so-called home court advantage.

But the following year, Olympiacos reached for the first time, the Final Four in [[Tel Aviv]]. They faced their arch-rivals [[Panathinaikos BC|Panathinaikos]] in the semi-final, beating them 77-72 and they became the first Greek team to play in the Euroleague final. The Reds were the favorites to win the European crown. But Olympiacos was shocked in the final by [[Joventut Badalona]], to whom they lost 57-59. Finally, they managed to win a domestic double against PAOK and [[Iraklis Thessaloniki B.C.|Iraklis]] in the Greek League and Greek Cup finals respectively.

[[Image:DSC00283 Eddie Johnson.JPG|thumb|right|100px|[[Eddie Johnson (basketball, born 1959)|Eddie Johnson]]]]
In the 1994 - 1995 season they played in their second Euroleague Final Four in [[Zaragoza]], again facing their eternal enemies of Panathinaikos in the semi-final. They defeated them one more time 58-52 and reached the final for a second consecutive year. There they played against another [[Liga ACB|Spanish]] team, [[Real Madrid Baloncesto|Real Madrid]], which were playing on their home soil and Olympiacos lost again 61-73. In the Greek League they managed to win the championship in the best of five finals, with a thrilling 45-44 home win over Panathinaikos in the fifth and last match at their home ground.

In the next season, 1995–1996, Olympiacos didn't make the Final Four, and they saw their arch-rivals Panathinaikos become the first Greek team to ever win the Euroleague championship. But the season ended in an extremely memorable way, because in the last game of a five game finals series of the Greek League, Olympiacos smashed the European champions Panathinaikos with a shocking 73-38 victory, an all-time record victory margin for the Greek League Finals.

==== Euroleague champion ====
[[Image:DSC00280 David Rivers.JPG|thumb|right|100px|[[David Rivers]]]]
In the 1996 - 1997 season, with a new coach, [[Dušan Ivković]] at the bench, the Reds and their fans had more hope than ever for the European title. In the regular season of the Euroleague Olympiacos' performance was not as good as it was in the previous years, but in the play-offs they were impressive, breaking twice their opponents home court advantage. Their first victim was [[KK Partizan|Partizan Belgrade]]. In a strange best of three series, Olympiacos won the first match in [[Belgrade]], lost the second at Peace and Friendship Stadium, which disappointed their fans, and finally won the third game in Belgrade, which advanced them to the quarter-finals where the defending champions Panathinaikos were waiting for them with a home court advantage. Panathinaikos was ready to stop their rivals and revenge them for the last year's opprobrious defeat in the Greek finals. In the first game of the series at Panathinaikos' home, the [[Athens Olympic Indoor Hall]], Olympiacos once again stunned the Greens, beating them 69-49 in front of their own fans. In the second match, at Peace and Friendship Stadium, in front of 17,000 Reds fans, Olympiacos beat Panathinaikos by a score of 65-57 and advanced to the Final Four in [[Rome]].<ref>[[FIBA Europe|FIBA Europe.com]] [http://www.fibaeurope.com/cid_KNce8jInH7Qj1EsyH5rjn2.gameID_1478-42-B-2.compID_,Uz02qBnJiADOq5VntEf53.season_1997.roundID_2568.html Game Card]</ref><ref>[[International Herald Tribune]], [http://www.iht.com/articles/1997/04/03/euro.t.php European Basketball: Passionate Greek Drama] by ''Ian Thomsen'', April 3, 1997</ref> Olympiacos were the unquestionable favorites to win the championship. Finally, they made it, by beating [[KK Union Olimpija|Olimpija Ljubljana]] 74-65 in the semi-final and [[FC Barcelona Bàsquet|FC Barcelona]] 73-58 in the final. Olympiacos [[Fan (aficionado)|fans]] were quick to sing that, "in Rome and in the final, we lifted the European trophy." This remains one of the club's most popular chants today. Olympiacos then easily achieved the coveted [[Triple Crown in Basketball|triple crown]]: by winning the Greek League title (against the surprise team of that year [[AEK Athens BC|AEK Athens]]), the Greek Cup (against [[Apollon Patras BC|Apollon Patras]]), and finally the Euroleague crown. Olympiacos was the only Greek team to have achieved this up until the year 2007, when city rival Panathinaikos won all three titles that year.

==== McDonalds finalist ====
[[Image:Jordan by Lipofsky 16577.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Olympiacos faced [[Michael Jordan|MJ]] in Paris]]
In October of the same year, the club claimed the [[1997 McDonald's Championship]], in [[Paris]]. Having defeated [[Asociación Deportiva Atenas|Atenas de Cordoba]] in the semi-final by 89-86, Olympiacos played against the [[Chicago Bulls]] in the final, which marked a game between the European Champions and the [[NBA]] Champions. Olympiacos is the only Greek team in history that has played in such a match. Even though the game was played under zone-friendly European rules, out of respect for the Bulls, Olympiacos never used a zone defense, and was thus defeated 78-104 by one of the greatest basketball players ever, [[Michael Jordan]].

In the 1997 - 1998 season, Olympiacos, were once again the favorites in all the competitions they were taking part. They the started the season with an impressive record of consecutive wins in Greece and Europe. But in the second half of the season, things went wrong for the team. Olympiacos played in the round of 16 of the Euroleague, with a home court advantage against Partizan in a three game series, but they lost both matches in [[Athens]] and [[Belgrade]] and the European Champions suffered an early and disappointing elimination. In the Greek Cup's Final Four, they faced Panathinaikos for the 3rd place and they won easily. In the Greek League, Olympiacos finished the regular season in second place, behind Panathinaikos. In the semi-finals, Olympiacos faced PAOK, having a home court advantage in a best of three series. In the first match in Athens, Olympiacos took a thrilling win 66-65 and held the advantage. PAOK won the second match in Thessaloniki, and the last game was held again in Athens. With [[Predrag Stojaković|Peja Stojaković]] scoring an amazing three-point shot at the end of the match, PAOK achieved an unbelievable 58-55 win in [[Faliro]], as it was the first time ever that Olympiacos was defeated in Peace and Friendship Stadium during the Greek playoffs. The Reds didn't have the chance to defend their crown and they ended up in third place, with a 3-1 series win over AEK Athens.

[[Image:Fabri Oberto.jpg|thumb|right|100px|[[Fabricio Oberto]]]]
The 1998 - 1999 season didn't begin well, because in the season's opening match of the Greek Cup, PAOK returned to Piraeus and won again, but much easier than 4 months earlier. This eliminated Olympiacos from the competition at their home arena. The Reds played once again in the Euroleague Final Four, and although they were considered the favorites to win the title, they lost 71-87 in the semi-final to [[BC Žalgiris|Zalgiris Kaunas]]. They finished third by defeating [[Fortitudo Bologna]] 74-63. In the Greek League they were the favorites to win the championship. But despite having the home court advantage in the finals against Panathinaikos, they lost the last game of the series on their home court. The loss to the Greens was bitter, as Olympiacos saw their arch-rivals celebrate their championship win in front of Olympiacos' fans. That was the first time that Panathinaikos had ever won a playoff game at Peace and Friendship Stadium in the playoffs.

===2000s===
In the 1999 - 2000 season, Olympiacos didn't make the Euroleague playoffs as they were eliminated in the round of 16 by [[KK Union Olimpija|Union Olimpija]]. On the contrary, they finished first in the regular season of the Greek League and entered the playoffs having home court advantage. But in the semi-finals they played against fourth-placed [[PAOK BC|PAOK]], which completed another astonishing win at Peace and Friendship Stadium, which was no longer intimidating opponents. This was followed by PAOK's win in Thessaloníki. Olympiacos faced [[AEK Athens BC|AEK]] for third place and they won.

In the 2000 - 2001 season, Olympiacos played in the first Euroleague competition that was organized by [[ULEB]], but despite having home court advantage in the playoffs they were eliminated by [[Saski Baskonia|TAU Cerámica]]. In the Greek League Finals, they didn't manage to overcome the home court advantage of [[Panathinaikos BC|Panathinaikos]] and finished second.

[[Image:PapaloukasTheo.jpg|thumb|right|100px|[[Theodoros Papaloukas|Theo Papaloukas]]]]
In the 2001 - 2002 season the club managed to win the [[Greek Basketball|Greek Cup]], their first trophy since 1997, in a Final Four tournament that was held at Peace and Friendship Stadium. They beat Panathinaikos in the semi-final and [[Maroussi BC|Maroussi]] in the final. Then they came within one victory of the Euroleague Final Four. They played in the Top 16 in a group against Panathinaikos, AEK Athens and Union Olimpija, with only the first placed team advancing to the Final Four. After Olympiacos completed an easy 92-75 win over Panathinaikos in the opening home match, another home win against AEK, and an away win against Olimpija, they played an away game against Panathinaikos and lost 78-88. The score of that game gave the Reds the [[Aggregate score|aggregate]] advantage in case they finished on the top of the group along with their rivals. However, in the fifth group game, the weakest team of the group, Union Olimpija, shocked Olympiacos in Athens by succeeding to win their single game in the group. This put Olympiacos in second place and kept them out of the Final Four, which was later won by Panathinaikos. After breaking the home court advantage of Panathinaikos in the Greek playoffs semi-final, the Reds made it to the last game of the Greek League finals series, where they played against AEK Athens, to which they finally lost.

[[Image:Maurice Evans cropped.jpg|thumb|right|100px|[[Maurice Evans]]]]
Olympiacos was one of the Euroleague's most dangerous teams in 2002 - 2003 as well. The club came closer than any team to knocking off the final champions Barcelona in two heartbreaking games in the Euroleague Top 16 groups, and proved, despite the fact that it was not the much feared team of the 90s, able to beat any team at any time.

==== 2003 - 2005 crisis ====
The 2003 - 2004 and 2004 - 2005 seasons were the worst in the modern history of Olympiacos. In both seasons, the club was eliminated in the Greek Cup at home by Panathinaikos and finished in 8th place in the Greek League. Especially in the latter season, Olympiacos had a humiliating performance in the Euroleague, which made many of its fans wonder about the club's future.

==== 2006 rebirth ====
[[Image:Jonas Kazlauskas.jpg|thumb|right|100px|[[Jonas Kazlauskas]]]]
The 2005 - 2006 season saw the return of the Red giants, which overcame the previous down years with a nice combination of young talent and experienced veterans which paid off for the club.
Players added to the club like [[Renaldas Seibutis]], [[Quincy Lewis]], [[Panagiotis Vasilopoulos]], [[Georgios Printezis]] and, above all, [[Sofoklis Schortsanitis]], were viewed by some to be a possible solid core of players for the team for many years to come. That season seemed to be very promising for the Red giants. However, the promising Reds suffered a 51-81 home defeat to Panathinaikos in their opening match of the Greek Cup. Olympiacos survived a difficult Euroleague regular season and shined in the Top 16, advancing to the Quarterfinal Playoffs. The Reds were just a win away from making it to the Final Four for the first time since 1999. [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]] won the best-of-three playoff series 2-1, but game 3 went down to the wire. Experience proved to be a decisive factor in the final 2 minutes of the game, when the hosts managed to seal a 77-73 win and advanced to the Final Four in [[Prague]]. [[Tyus Edney]] earned Euroleague February MVP honors, as well as ranking third in assists at the end of the regular season and second in the Top 16. Olympiacos also shined in its domestic competition, as the Reds made it to the Greek League finals for the first time in five years by surviving a thrilling five-game series against [[Maroussi BC|Maroussi]]. Panathinaikos ended up sweeping the best-of-five final playoff series, but it was clear that the Reds were back where they used to be, becoming a team able to challenge for every title.

In the 2006 - 2007 season, with the signings of head coach [[Pinhas Gershon]] and [[Arvydas Macijauskas]], the Reds were one of the favorites to claim the [[Euroleague 2006–07|Euroleague]] crown, but they didn't manage to qualify to the [[Athens]] Final Four. They were eliminated from the Greek Cup as well. In the Greek League playoffs, they made it to the finals after winning 3-2 a best of five semifinal against [[Aris BC|Aris]]. Although Olympiacos had to overcome their home court disadvantage, they won the last match in Thessaloniki and made it to the best of five finals, having again a home court disadvantage, this time against the European champions Panathinaikos. The club had to beat their arch-rivals in order to win their first [[A1 Ethniki|Greek Championship]] since 1997. But they finished second in one of the best final series ever played in the Greek League. At the inaugural game in Panathinaikos' home, the Reds lost 72-79, but they won the second game in Peace and Friendship Stadium 76-72. In the third match, Panathinaikos took a thrilling 86-85 home win in overtime, while in Piraeus, Olympiacos won easily 78-68. In the last game, at Panathinaikos' home, the Reds lost 76-89.

In the 2007-08 season, Olympiacos was once again considered amongst the favorites to reach the Final Four of the Euroleague. It was also considered one of the two favorites, along with Panathinaikos, in the Greek League. In the Greek League regular season the team had a record of 22 wins and 4 defeats, and had the second most prolific offensive team in the league. In the quarter-finals of the playoffs, Olympiacos swept AEK Athens in a best-of-three series and in the semi-finals they beat Maroussi in a best-of-five series, 3-2. In the Finals of the Greek League, the Reds lost to their eternal enemies Panathinaikos. In the Euroleague, the team qualified for the third phase of the competition (quarter-finals), where it was eliminated by [[PBC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]]. Additionally, Olympiacos qualified to the Greek Cup Final, where they lost to their arch-rivals [[Panathinaikos]] in a very impressive game, which was dramatic up to the last second.

==== 2008 - 2009 Season ====
[[Image:Josh Childress.jpg|thumb|right|100px|[[Josh Childress]]]]
The 2008-09 season began with high expectations due to a big [[budget]] and a great [[roster]]. The club's season was only moderately successful however, as they reached the finals of both the Greek Cup and the Greek Championship, but lost in both cases to their arch-rivals Panathinaikos. In the Greek Championship regular season, the team set a record with 25 wins against only 1 defeat, but in the finals of the Greek League playoffs, they lost the series 3-1 to Panathinaikos, despite having the [[home court]] advantage. In the Euroleague they reached the Final Four for the first time in 10 years. They were once again eliminated by Panathinaikos, by a score of 82-84, in one of the most exciting semifinals ever.

==== 2009 - 2010 Season ====

The 2009-10 season was the best after a long time for Olympiakos. The management wanted to bring another big player to the team, after [[Josh Childress]]. And they did, agreeing with the [[NBA]] star of [[Denver Nuggets]] [[Linas Kleiza]]. With these two the club managed to take the Greek Cup defeating [[Panathinaikos]] 68-64 in the final.
In the [[Euroleague]], the reds were dominate getting to the FINAL FOUR in Paris. In the first semifinal the team managed to win [[KK Partizan]] 83-80 to OT. But in the big final Olympiakos wasn't prepared and lost easily 68-86 from [[FC Barcelona Bàsquet]].
In the Greek Championship Finals, the club was out of form and lost 3-1 wins to their big rival [[Panathinaikos]]. Also in the last final against the Greens in the [[Peace and Friendship Stadium SEF|Peace and Friendship Stadium]] ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Στάδιο Ειρήνης και Φιλίας ''or'' ΣΕΦ - SEF), there were episodes with the fans of Olympiacos throwing objects to the players of [[Panathinaikos]]. This result made the referees decide to stop the match and award the win to the Former Euroleague Champions of 2009. The score was 69-75 for the Greens with 1.04 remaining on the clock.

==Arena==
Olympiacos' long-time home court the [[Peace and Friendship Stadium SEF|Peace and Friendship Stadium]] ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Στάδιο Ειρήνης και Φιλίας ''or'' ΣΕΦ - SEF), which is an indoor arena located in [[Faliro]], [[Piraeus]], on the [[Athens]] coastland, exactly opposite of [[Olympiacos FC]] football department's ground, [[Karaiskákis Stadium]]. The arena opened in 1985 and Olympiacos has been using it since 1991. It was one of the biggest European arenas with a capacity of 17,000 seats, however, it was reduced to 12,171 seats for the 2004 Olympics.

Currently, it seats 14,950. SEF hosted the indoor [[Volleyball at the 2004 Summer Olympics|volleyball tournament of the 2004 Summer Olympics]], while it was the hosting venue of the [[EuroBasket 1987]] and [[1998 FIBA World Championship]]. The stadium was renovated for the [[2004 Summer Olympics]].

'''Panathinaikos Basketball Club''' ([[Greek language|Greek]] name: ''Κ.Α.Ε. Παναθηναϊκός'', transliterated into English as: K.A.E. Panathinaikos) is the professional [[basketball]] team of [[Athens]]-based multi-[[sports club]] [[Panathinaikos]]. The team also goes by the name of PAO, which stands for Παναθηναϊκός Αθλητικός Όμιλος (greek for ''Pan-Athenean Athletic Club''). It is owned by pharmaceutical magnates [[Pavlos Giannakopoulos|Pavlos]] and [[Thanassis Giannakopoulos]]. The parent athletic club was founded in 1908, while the basketball team in 1922, and it has since developed into the most successful basketball team in [[Greece]] and among the best in [[Europe]]. Panathinaikos has won 31 [[A1 Ethniki|Greek National Championships]], 12 [[Greek basketball Cup|Greek Cups]], 5 [[Euroleague|European Championships (Euroleague)]] (from 1996–2009), 1 [[Intercontinental Cup (basketball)|FIBA World Club Championship]] and 2 [[Triple Crown in Basketball|Triple Crowns]].

Well-known players that have played with the club over the years include: [[Dominique Wilkins]], [[Byron Scott (basketball)|Byron Scott]], [[Antonio Davis]], [[Dino Rađa|Dino Radja]], [[Rony Seikaly]], [[John Salley]], [[Nikos Galis]], [[Dejan Bodiroga]], [[Panagiotis Giannakis]], [[Željko Rebrača]], [[Stojko Vranković]], [[Žarko Paspalj]], [[Fanis Christodoulou]], [[Šarūnas Jasikevičius]], [[Fragiskos Alvertis]], [[Dimitris Diamantidis]] and [[Vassilis Spanoulis]], among others. Such players, along with the successful management of [[Pavlos Giannakopoulos]] and the guidance of the most successful coach in Europe - and one of the best in the world - [[Željko Obradović]], have made Panathinaikos the most successful and popular European team of the last two decades and the only team on the continent that has won five [[Euroleague]] titles, since the establishment of the modern era [[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 BC is widely regarded as the most successful Greek sports team ever.

==History==
[[Image:PAO 100 YEARS 1010494.JPG|thumb|right|120px|The 100 years celebration 1908-2008]]

==== 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 [[Panathinaiko Stadium|Pan-athenean 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 BC|Aris]] and [[Iraklis Thessaloniki B.C.|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 ===
[[Image:06012009050 Fedon Mathaiou.jpg|thumb|right|100px|[[Fedon Matheou]]]]

==== 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 ====
[[Image:DSC00264 Giorgos Kolokythas.jpg|right|thumb|100px|[[Giorgos Kolokythas]]]]
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 B.C.|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 quarter-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 ====
[[Image:DSC00294 Apostolos Kontos.jpg|right|thumb|100px|[[Apostolos Kontos]]]]
During this period, Kostas Mourouzis, nicknamed ''the fox of coaching'', managed the ''team of the 4-K'' (the young [[Apostolos Kontos|Kontos]], [[Takis Koroneos|Koroneos]], [[Dimitris Kokolakis|Kokolakis]] and [[Christos Kefalos|Kefalos]]). These players, along with [[Christos Iordanidis|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 [[Euroleague|European Championship]], aided by American [[Chris 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 Basketball Cup|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 dicovered [[Rony Seikaly]] but bureaucratic problems
prevented him from playing in the [[A1 Ethniki|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. [[David Stergakos|Stergakos]], [[Memos Ioannou|Ioannou]], [[Kyriakos Vidas|Vidas]], [[Liveris Andritsos|Andritsos]] and [[Takis Koroneos|Koroneos]] - who left the following year - were the key players. The balance however had now tilted in favour of [[Aris BC|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 ====
[[Image:Alvertis1010440.jpg|right|thumb|100px|[[Fragiskos Alvertis]]]]
In 1988, the ban on using foreign players in the league was lifted and Panathinaikos were able to acquire [[Edgar Jones (basketball)|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 [[Edgar Jones (basketball)|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|Alvertis]], [[Nikos Economou|Economou]] and [[Christos Myriounis|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 ever outside Europe.

=== 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 ====
[[Image:Nikos Galis Panathinaikos 1992.jpg|right|thumb|100px|[[Nikos Galis]]]]
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 [[Stojan Vrankovic]], [[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 [[Stojan Vrankovic]] 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 ====
[[Image:1996 Dominique Wilkins Panathinaikos.jpg|right|thumb|100px|[[Dominique Wilkins]]]]
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 Bàsquet|FC Barcelona]] in a unique tournament final, by a score of 67-66. Back in Greece, the exit of [[Dominique Wilkins]] in the league final led to the loss of a championship.

==== 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 ====
[[Image:DinoRadjaPanathinaikos.jpg|right|thumb|100px|[[Dino Radja]]]]
Lefteris Subotic assumed technical leadership and convinced [[Dino Radja]] to come to PAO. This great transfer was accompanied by Byron Scott and [[Fanis Christodoulou]] and with the help of [[Fragiskos Alvertis|Alvertis]], [[Nikos Economou|Economou]] and [[Mikael Koch|Koch]], Panathinaikos finally won the Greek league after 14 years.

==== 1999 – The championship inside 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 one of the strongest in Europe.

=== 2000–2002 ===
[[Image:BodirogaP1010525.jpg|right|thumb|100px|[[Dejan Bodiroga]]]]
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. Radja, Rebrača, Rogers, Middleton, Alvertis and Kutluay 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 [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|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 [[Virtus Bologna|Kinder Bologna]] by the score of 89-83 in the final.

=== Emphasis on teamwork 2003 - 2009 ===
[[Image:Diamentidis.jpg|right|thumb|100px|[[Dimitris Diamantidis]]]]
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 (ie 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, McDonald, then Alvertis, Diamantidis, Hatzivrettas, Scepanovic, 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 [[Athens Olympic Sports Complex#Olympic Indoor Hall|OAKA]] in Athens, Panathinaikos became European Champions for the fourth time, beating the defending champions [[PBC CSKA Moscow|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.

==== 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 [[Saporta Cup|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 [[Pallacanestro Varese|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 [[PBC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]] and [[BC Levski Sofia|Levski Sofia]] in that order.

==== Against NBA teams ====
Panathinaikos is the first Greek team to ever play in the [[USA]] against [[NBA]] teams.

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,<ref>[http://217.13.116.51/finalfour05/noticia.jsp?temporada=E04&jornada=24&id=405&lan=el Fragiskos Alvertis interview 20,000 fans at OAKA for PAO versus Benetton Treviso. {{el icon}}]</ref> achieved at a home match in OAKA against [[Pallacanestro Treviso|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 S.K.|Efes Pilsen]] in 2005 and [[Saski Baskonia|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 [[KK Partizan|Partizan Belgrade]] when it drew 22,567 to [[Belgrade Arena]] for a [[Euroleague 2008–09|2009]] match.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.euroleague.net/item/45551 |title=Partizan sets crowd record at Belgrade Arena! |publisher=Euroleague.net |date=2009-03-05 |accessdate=2009-03-06}}</ref>

'''Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.''' ([[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] name: "מ.כ. מכבי אלקטרה תל-אביב", transliterated into English as: Maccabi "Electra" Tel Aviv B.C.) is a professional [[Israel|Israeli]] [[basketball]] team that is based in [[Tel Aviv]]. The club plays in the [[Ligat HaAl (basketball)|Israeli]] and [[Euroleague|European]] basketball first leagues. It is the basketball division of the [[Maccabi Tel Aviv]] sports club. From July 1, 2008, the team's sponsor has been Israeli electronics conglomerate "Electra", and the club therefore carries its name for sponsorship reasons<ref>[http://www.maccabi.co.il/News3.asp?ID=1509&language=english As of today - Maccabi "Electra" Tel Aviv], official Maccabi Tel Aviv website (accessed, July 1, 2008)</ref>. Maccabi is among Europe's most illustrious clubs, having won the [[Euroleague|European Cup]] 5 times since 1977, and finishing second a further 8 times. The club dominates Israeli basketball, having won 48 [[Ligat HaAl (basketball)|Israeli National Championship]] titles (including 23 in a row between 1970 and 1992) and 37 [[Israeli Basketball State Cup|Israeli State Cups]]. The club also holds the record for the most [[Triple Crown in Basketball|Triple Crowns]] won with 5.

Well-known players that have played with the club over the years include: [[Miki Berkovich]], [[Tom Chambers (basketball)|Tom Chambers]], [[Anthony Parker]], [[Omri Casspi]], [[Beno Udrih]], [[Šarūnas Jasikevičius]], [[Maceo Baston]], [[Will Bynum]], [[Victor Alexander]] and [[Nikola Vujčić]].

== History ==
[[Maccabi Tel Aviv]] sports club started its basketball activities in the mid-1930s. In 1954, the [[Ligat HaAl (basketball)|Israeli Basketball League]] was founded and Maccabi won the first championship. They have dominated the League ever since, winning 48 national championship titles (including 23 in a row between 1970 and 1992) and 36 [[Israeli Basketball State Cup|State Cup]]s. The team has never finished below the third place in the national league.

Maccabi Tel Aviv's traditional rival is crosstown team [[Hapoel Tel Aviv B.C.|Hapoel Tel Aviv]], however the last time "the Reds" won a national title was in 1969. Since then, the only team to have defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Israeli championship was [[Hapoel Galil Elyon]] in 1993, led by [[Doron Sheffer]] and coached by [[Pinhas Gershon]], that eventually joined Maccabi, and [[Hapoel Holon]] in [[Ligat HaAl (basketball) 2007-08|2008]], coached by [[Miki Dorsman]].

In 1958, Maccabi Tel Aviv joined international competition and became one of the best basketball teams in Europe. As at July 2006, Maccabi Tel Aviv had played 602 games in European competitions and won 376 of them, scoring 51,804 points to their opponents' 49,156.

The club's first European championship came in 1977, under coach [[Ralph Klein (basketball)|Ralph Klein]]. In the final game in [[Belgrade]], [[Yugoslavia]] Maccabi Tel Aviv edged [[Pallacanestro Varese|Mobilgirgi Varese]] 78:77, thanks to [[Jim Boatwright]] (26 points), [[Miki Berkovich]], [[Aulcie Perry]] and the rest of the team. But perhaps of even greater symbolic value was the semifinal win over [[PBC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]]. The Soviets refused to play in Tel-Aviv so the match took place in a neutral venue, Belgium. In the eyes of the whole country, it was not only an important win, but a form of 'revenge' on the [[Soviet Union]], the country that provided support to Israel's enemies. "''We are on the map,''" - proclaimed [[captain (sports)|captain]] [[Tal Brody]] after the game, - "''And we are staying on the map, not only in sports, but in every aspect''". Maccabi Tel Aviv indeed stayed on the European basketball map, and in 1981 it won another Championship Cup, this time defeating [[Virtus Bologna|Sinudyne Bologna]] 80:79.

During the 1980s, Maccabi Tel Aviv reached, but lost, the European finals five times.

The 1990s were Maccabi's "black decade", with the team managing only one Final Four appearance in 10 years and even losing the [[Ligat HaAl (basketball)|local title]] in 1993. In 1998 [[Pinhas Gershon|Pini Gershon]], then considered one of the most vocal of the "anti-Maccabists" in [[Israel]], became the head coach, thus inaugurating arguably the best period in the club's history. The team reached the [[Euroleague]] final in 2000, falling to the highly touted [[Panathinaikos BC|Panathinaikos]] in a close game (ironically, former Maccabi Tel Aviv and [[Israel national basketball team|Israeli national team]] star [[Oded Kattash]] proved the decisive player in the final game). The following year the teams met again in the Suproleague finals in [[Paris]], and the [[Israel]]i club, led by [[Ariel McDonald]], [[Anthony Parker]] and [[Nate Huffman]], won the game 81:67.

[[Pinhas Gershon|Gershon]] decided to retire, but came back for the 2003-04 season, [[Anthony Parker]] also returned for the second stint with the club. [[Lithuania]]n star [[Šarūnas Jasikevičius]] (known as "''Sharas''" in Israel) also joined the team, and Maccabi Tel Aviv was the form team of the 2003-04 season, defeating [[Fortitudo Bologna|Skipper Bologna]] in the [[Euroleague]] final game (held in [[Tel Aviv]]) in an unprecedented landslide (118:74), in the process setting 11 [[Euroleague]] records.

[[Image:NokiaArena.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Maccabi Tel Aviv's home court, the [[Yad Eliyahu Arena]].]]
The team returned to the Euroleague Final Four (held in [[Moscow]]) in 2005, facing tough odds due to the rise of the dominant [[PBC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]] club that was favored to win. In the semi-final Maccabi Tel Aviv was once again matched against rivals [[Panathinaikos]], known as one of the best defenses in Europe. In a scenario that few in European basketball community envisioned, [[Saski Baskonia|TAU Cerámica]] stunned [[PBC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]] and Maccabi Tel Aviv celebrated yet another victory over the Greek team, then proceeded to defeat [[Saski Baskonia|TAU Cerámica]] in a very competitive final (90:78) on May 8, 2005.

On 16 October 2005, Maccabi Tel Aviv set another milestone in their basketball history when they beat the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]]'s [[Toronto Raptors]]. It was their first win in over 21 years over an NBA team, the first win over an NBA team by any [[Euroleague]] team in 17 years, and the first ever European win over an NBA team on North American soil. [[Anthony Parker]]'s jump shot with 0.8 seconds lifted the Euroleague champion over Toronto 105:103.

In the 2005-06 season, Maccabi finished with two domestic titles - its 46th [[Ligat HaAl (basketball)|championship]] and 36th [[Israeli Basketball State Cup|State Cup]], both after wins over [[Hapoel Jerusalem B.C.|Hapoel Jerusalem]]. During Euroleague's Final Four, Maccabi Tel Aviv met [[Saski Baskonia|TAU Cerámica]] in the first semifinal game, and won the game 85-70. Maccabi Tel Aviv faced [[PBC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]] in the final on April 30, 2006, losing 73:69.

During the summer, its "dynasty" ended as [[Anthony Parker]] and [[Maceo Baston]] followed [[Šarūnas Jasikevičius|Jasikevičius]] and left for the NBA, leading to a major overhaul of the club's roster, and a mediocre 2006-07 season (although the team still won the domestic championship and qualified for the [[Euroleague]] quarterfinals).

The team played a charity pre-season game against the [[New York Knicks]] on 11 October 2007, at [[Madison Square Garden]], their first appearance at the famous venue; the proceeds from the game benefited [[Migdal Or]]. The [[New York Knicks|Knicks]] won the game 112:85.<ref>[http://www.euroleague.net/news/i/16007/180/new-york-knicks-112-85-maccabi-elite-tel-aviv New York Knicks 112-85 Maccabi Elite Tel Aviv].</ref>

Maccabi finished the 2007-08 season with one title out of possible four, only winning its debut in the pre-season tournament ''Winner Cup'', held for the second time only. In the major three tournaments Maccabi lost three times in the final: 89-93 in the [[Israeli Basketball State Cup|Israeli State Cup]] final to [[Hapoel Jerusalem B.C.|Hapoel Jerusalem]], 77-91 in the [[Euroleague 2007-08 Final Four|Euroleague]] final to [[PBC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]], and 72-73 in the [[Ligat HaAl (basketball) 2007-08|Israeli league]] final to [[Hapoel Holon]]. During the season, [[Zvi Sherf]] replaced [[Oded Katash]] as Maccabi's coach.

In the 2008-09 [[Israeli Basketball State Cup|Israeli Cup]]'s Round of 16, Maccabi lost 85-99 to [[Ironi Nahariya]] in [[En Sara]] Arena. It was the second time Maccabi lost three consecutive Cup titles and the third time Maccabi lost in the Cup's Round of 16. It was the first time [[Pini Gershon]] lost an Israeli title with Maccabi. But despite all that, Maccabi won back the Israeli championship after the 72:85 win over Maccabi Haifa.

In the 2010 [[Israeli Basketball State Cup|Israeli Cup]], Maccabi beat Maccabi Rishon LeZion 93-54 in the quarter finals. They then beat Maccabi Barak Netanya 108-75 in the semi finals. Maccabi won the cup for the second time in its history after beating Hapoel Jerusalem 87-77 in the final on October 14, 2010.

Maccabi has hosted the [[Euroleague|European Cup]] final in 1972 and the [[Euroleague]] Final Four twice (1994 and 2004), and has hosted European All Star events four times. Eight Maccabi players have been selected in the European All Stars: [[Tanhum Cohen-Mintz]], [[Tal Brody]], [[Lou Silver]], [[Miki Berkovich]], [[Doron Jamchi]], [[Nadav Henefeld]], [[Oded Katash]] and [[Anthony Parker]].

Between 1969 and 2008 the team was sponsored by the Elite confectionery company.
Since 2009 the team is sponsored by Electra Group.

Formerly the [[Seattle SuperSonics]], the Thunder were [[Seattle SuperSonics relocation to Oklahoma City|relocated in 2008 after a dispute]] between owner [[Clayton Bennett|Clay Bennett]] and lawmakers in [[Seattle]], Washington. As the Seattle SuperSonics, the club qualified for the [[NBA Playoffs]] 22 times, won its division six times and won the [[1979 NBA Finals|1979 NBA Championship]]. In Oklahoma City, the team qualified for their first playoff berth during the 2009–2010 season.

==Franchise history==
[[Image:Seattle SuperSonics logo.png|thumb|left|80px|The final logo of the SuperSonics]]

===1967–2008: Seattle SuperSonics===
{{Main|Seattle SuperSonics}}
The Thunder's previous incarnation, the Seattle SuperSonics, were formed in 1967. Early in their history they appeared in two consecutive Finals against the Washington Bullets (now [[Washington Wizards]]), losing in seven games in [[1978 NBA Finals|1978]] and winning in five in [[1979 NBA Finals|1979]].<ref>{{cite web
| url = http://www.nba.com/history/finals/19771978.html |title='Fat Lady' Sings Victorious Tune for Bullets |author= |publisher=[http://NBA.com/ NBA.com] |date= |accessdate=2008-09-27}}</ref><ref>{{cite web

During the course of the next decade, Seattle had moderate success until it drafted the duo of [[Shawn Kemp]] and [[Gary Payton]] in [[1989 NBA Draft|1989]] and [[1990 NBA Draft|1990]] respectively. Alongside [[Nate McMillan]], coach [[George Karl]] and other notable players, the Sonics rose up among the rank of title contenders in the early 1990s. The team qualified for the playoffs every year between 1991 and 1998.

In the [[1995–96 NBA season]], the Sonics established the franchise mark for most wins, 64–18 (.720) and earned their third NBA Finals berth. Seattle met the record-setting 72–10 [[Chicago Bulls]] in the [[1996 NBA Finals]] and lost in six games.<ref>{{cite web

The next decade would not fare better as the franchise, aside from a surprising [[2004–05 NBA season]] in which the Sonics won 52 games, disappointed with playoff futility. The Sonics drafted cornerstones [[Kevin Durant]] and [[Jeff Green (basketball)|Jeff Green]] in the [[2007 NBA Draft]].<ref>{{cite news

In 41 years that the SuperSonics spent in Seattle, they compiled a 1,745–1,585 (.524) win–loss record in the regular season and 107–110 (.493) in the playoffs. The franchise's titles include three [[Western Conference (NBA)|Western Conference]] championships and one [[NBA Finals|NBA title]].

===Creation of the Thunder===
[[Image:OKC Ford Center.jpg|thumb|right|The Oklahoma City Arena began hosting the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2008.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.arenadigest.com/visits/ford_center.htm |title=Ford Center / Oklahoma City, Oklahoma |work=Arena Digest |year=2008|accessdate=2008-05-05}}</ref>]]
{{Main|Seattle SuperSonics relocation to Oklahoma City}}
In the aftermath of the [[Hurricane Katrina]] disaster in [[New Orleans, Louisiana]], and surrounding area, the [[New Orleans Hornets]] [[Effect of Hurricane Katrina on the New Orleans Hornets|temporarily relocated to Oklahoma City]], playing the majority of their home games at the Ford Center during the 2005–06 and 2006–07 seasons. Consequently, the city showed it could support an NBA franchise such as the uprooted Hornets and spurred by a reporter's question NBA commissioner [[David Stern]] came to comment unequivocally, that Oklahoma City could support a franchise of its own.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2219124 |title=Stern: Oklahoma City top candidate if team moves |publisher=[[ESPN]] |date=2005-11-09 |accessdate=2008-07-19 }}</ref>

In 2006, the [[Seattle SuperSonics|SuperSonics]] franchise was sold to a group of Oklahoma City investors led by [[Clayton Bennett|Clay Bennett]] for $350 million, a move approved by NBA owners the following October.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2637335 |title=NBA approves sale of Sonics, Storm |publisher=[[ESPN]] |date=October 24, 2006 |accessdate=2008-07-02 }}</ref> Terms of the sale required the new ownership group to use a "good faith, best effort" for the term of 12 months in securing a new arena lease or venue in the Greater Seattle Area.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/thiel/367444_thiel18.html |title=Sonics' 'good faith efforts' never materialized |publisher=[[Seattle PI]] |date=June 17, 2008 |accessdate=2008-07-05 }}</ref> Bennett then spent much of 2007 attempting to gain public funding for a new arena, or a major renovation of the [[KeyArena]]. After 12 months and numerous disagreements between local/state government and the team, Bennett announced that the franchise would move to Oklahoma City as soon as the lease with KeyArena expired.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/basketball/337871_arena03.html?source=mypi |title=Bennett says Sonics going to Oklahoma |publisher=Seattle Post-Intelligencer |date=2007-11-02 |accessdate=2008-04-02 |
first=Greg |last=Johns}}</ref>

In June 2008, a lawsuit between the City of Seattle and Bennett regarding Bennett's attempts to break the final two years of the Sonics lease at Key Arena went to Federal Court, and nearly a month later the two sides reached an agreement to settle. The terms would award the city of Seattle $45 million to get out of the remaining lease at KeyArena, and could provide an additional $30 million payment to Seattle in 2013 if certain conditions are met. The owners agreed to leave the 'SuperSonics' name, logo, and colors in Seattle for a possible future NBA franchise;<ref name="themove">{{cite web |publisher=ESPN.com |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3471503 |title=SuperSonics, Seattle reach last-minute settlement |accessdate=2008-07-02}}</ref> however the items would remain the property of the Oklahoma City team along with other "assets," including championship banners and trophies.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sonics/2008035531_soni06.html |title=Seattle and Oklahoma City will share the Sonics' franchise history |date=2008-07-06 |accessdate=2008-07-06 | work=The Seattle Times | first=Percy | last=Allen}}</ref> On September 3, 2008, the team name, logo, and color for the Oklahoma City franchise was announced.

In 2009, Seattle-area filmmakers calling themselves the Seattle SuperSonics Historical Preservation Society produced a critically acclaimed documentary film titled ''[[Sonicsgate|Sonicsgate: Requiem For A Team]]'' that details the rise and demise of the Seattle SuperSonics franchise. The movie aims to shed a scandalous light on the team's departure from Seattle, and it won the 2010 [[Webby Award]] for 'Best Sports Film'.<ref>http://webbyawards.com/webbys/current.php?media_id=97&season=14#film_sports_vid</ref>

===2008–2009: Inaugural season===
[[Image:OKC Thunder.JPG|thumb|Oklahoma City defeated Minnesota on November 2, 2008 for their first win.]]
{{Main|2008–09 Oklahoma City Thunder season}}
The Thunder participated in the [[Orlando Pro Summer League]] featuring their second-year players, potential free agents and rookies. The players wore generic black-and-white jerseys reading "OKC-NBA" against an outline of a basketball. The temporary practice facility for the Thunder was at [[Southern Nazarene University]]'s [[Sawyer Center]]. This was the same facility was used by the New Orleans Hornets when they relocated to Oklahoma City after Hurricane Katrina.<ref>[http://snu.edu/?p={E4161849-E79C-4F0C-AD27-33DC07C3ED45}&sc=-1&ni=761&fr=news SNU Sawyer Center]</ref>

The Thunder played several pre-season games before the 2008–2009 regular season, but only one of those games was in Oklahoma City. The Thunder made its first appearance in [[Billings, Montana|Billings]], [[Montana]] on October 8, 2008 in an 88–82 preseason loss against the [[Minnesota Timberwolves]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2008/10/09/sports/local/18-wolves.txt |title=T'Wolves Play Spoiler |first=Phil |last=Sites |publisher=[[Billings Gazette]] |date=2008-10-08 |accessdate=2008-10-09 }}</ref> The Thunder had its first Ford Center game on October 14 against the [[Los Angeles Clippers]].<ref>[http://newsok.com/oklahoma-city-nba-team-to-face-hectic-pace-in-preseason/article/3282760/?tm=1218596987 Oklahoma City NBA team to face hectic pace in preseason]</ref>

In its regular-season home opener, Oklahoma City faced (and lost to) the Milwaukee Bucks. [[Earl Watson]] scored the first points of the season with a layup. Three nights later on November 2, the Thunder won its first game as a franchise by defeating the [[Minnesota Timberwolves]], improving its record to 1–3. The team then went on a 10-game losing streak before deciding on November 22 to fire head coach [[P. J. Carlesimo]] and assistant [[Paul Westhead]]. Assistant coach [[Scott Brooks]] then took over on an interim basis.<ref name="Carlesimo fired">{{cite web |url=http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3718961 |title=Carlesimo fired; Brooks to take over Thunder in interim |last=Sheridan |first=Chris |work=ESPN |date=2008-11-22 |accessdate=2008-11-22}}</ref> Oklahoma City would lose its next four games to tie the dubious franchise losing streak of 14 set the previous season in Seattle. But it managed to prevent history by winning its next game on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/2008-11-29-thunder-grizzlies_N.htm?csp=34 |title=Thunder snap 14-game losing streak behind Durant's 30 |last=Associated Press |first= |work=USA Today |date=2008-11-22 |accessdate=2008-11-22}}</ref>

As the season continued, the Thunder began to improve. After starting 3–29, the Thunder finished the regular season at 20–30 for the remaining fifty games. Not only were they winning more often, they played much more competitively than the first part of the season. The team ended its first season in [[Oklahoma City]] with a win against the Los Angeles Clippers, bringing their record to 23–59 and improving upon their record of 20–62 from the team's final season in Seattle. The late-season successes of the Thunder contributed to the signing of Scott Brooks as the team's official head coach.

As a result of moving to Oklahoma City from Seattle, the team's operating situation improved markedly. In December 2008, ''[[Forbes Magazine]]'' estimated the team's franchise value at $300 million – a 12% increase from the previous year's $268 million when the club was located in Seattle.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.forbes.com/sportsmoney/lists/2008/32/nba08_NBA-Team-Valuations_Rank.html |title=NBA Team Valuations |work=Forbes Magazine |date=December 3, 2008 |accessdate=May 12, 2010}}</ref> ''Forbes'' also noted an increase in percentage of available tickets sold, from 78% in the team's last year in Seattle (playing as a virtual lame-duck franchise){{Citation needed|date=July 2010}} to 100% in 2008–09.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.forbes.com/sportsmoney/lists/2008/32/nba08_Oklahoma-City-Thunder_329710.html |title=Oklahoma City Thunder |work=Forbes magazine |date=December 3, 2008 |accessdate=May 12, 2010}}</ref>

===2009–2010: The turnaround season===
After an inaugural season filled with many adjustments, the Thunder hoped to improve during their second season in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City did not make any major moves in the offseason, other than drafting [[James Harden]] from [[Arizona State University]] with the 3rd overall pick in the [[2009 NBA Draft]]. The Thunder selected [[Rodrigue Beaubois]] with the 25th pick in the 2009 draft, before immediately trading him to the [[Dallas Mavericks]] for the 24th pick, C [[Byron Mullens]] from [[Ohio State University]]. The team then added veterans C [[Etan Thomas]] and G [[Kevin Ollie]]. The last major change to their roster occurred on December 22, 2009 when the team traded for [[Eric Maynor]] from the [[Utah Jazz]]. Maynor immediately supplanted Ollie as the backup point guard.

From the outset, the young team looked determined and cohesive. The increasing leadership of [[Kevin Durant]], along with the growing experience of the team's younger players, were encouraging signs that the Thunder were improving. The 2009–2010 season included several victories over the NBA's elite teams, including a 28-point blowout over the NBA Eastern Conference Champion [[Orlando Magic]] and a 16 point blowout of the reigning NBA Champion [[Los Angeles Lakers]]. Road victories over the [[San Antonio Spurs]], [[Utah Jazz]], the [[Miami Heat]], the [[Boston Celtics]], and the [[Dallas Mavericks]] greatly enhanced their reputation. Though they hovered around .500 for the first half of the season, they eventually went on a 9-game winning streak that set them into serious playoff contention. Kevin Durant became the youngest player in league history to win the scoring title, averaging 30.1 points per game while playing in all 82 games.

The Thunder finished 50–32, more than doubling their win total from last season. They finished fourth in the Northwest Division and eighth in the Western Conference playoff standings. They secured a spot in the [[2010 NBA Playoffs]], but lost to the defending-champion [[Los Angeles Lakers]] in the first round, 4 games to 2. On April 22, 2010 the team secured their first playoff win as the Oklahoma City Thunder when they defeated the [[Los Angeles Lakers]] 101–96. This was also the Thunder's first playoff win at the Ford Center.

Oklahoma City ranked twelfth in overall attendance in the NBA, and seventh in percentage of available seats occupied (98%, including 28 sellouts in 41 home games).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://espn.go.com/nba/attendance/_/sort/homePct |title=2009–2010 NBA Attendance |work=ESPN.com |accessdate=April 30, 2010}}</ref> The team's operating situation also continued to improve in 2009-2010. Forbes Magazine estimated the team's franchise value at $310 million (an increase of $10 million over the prior year) with a estimated operating profit of $12.7 million (the first operating profit in years for the franchise).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.forbes.com/lists/2009/32/basketball-values-09_NBA-Team-Valuations_Rank.html |title=NBA Team Valuations |date=December 9, 2009 |accessdate=May 12, 2010 |work=Forbes Magazine}}</ref>

==Home arenas==

''Note: All arenas used before 2008 were part of the defunct Sonics franchise.''

Seattle arenas had hosted two [[NBA All-Star Game]]s; the [[1974 NBA All-Star Game|1974]] edition in [[Seattle Center Coliseum]] and [[1987 NBA All-Star Game|1987]] in the [[Kingdome]], where Sonic [[Tom Chambers (basketball)|Tom Chambers]] grabbed MVP honors.
*'''[[Seattle Center Coliseum]]''' 1967–1978 (occasionally used during the Kingdome years when the latter was unavailable due to either [[Seattle Mariners|Mariners]] or [[Seattle Seahawks|Seahawks]] games)
*'''[[Kingdome|The Kingdome]]''' 1978–1985
*'''Seattle Center Coliseum''' 1985–1994
*'''[[Tacoma Dome]]''' 1994–1995 (During KeyArena Remodel)
*'''[[KeyArena]]''' (the remodeled and renamed '''[[Seattle Center]] Coliseum''') 1995–2008
*'''[[Oklahoma City Arena]]''' (formerly Ford Center) (2008–present)

Originally opened in 2002, the [[Oklahoma City Arena]] was built without many of the luxury accomodations ultimately planned for the arena, but was designed to accomodate such luxury "build-outs" should a professional sports franchise locate to the city.

A plan for such buildout improvements began in 2007 in the wake of acquisition of the [[Seattle Supersonics]] by an Oklahoma-City based ownership group in October of 2006. A city ballot initiative on March 4, 2008, approved by a 62% to 38% margin, extended a prior one-cent city sales tax for a period of fifteen months in order to fund $101 million in budgeted improvements to the arena, as well as fund a separate $20 million practice facility for a relocated franchise.<ref name=knapp1>{{cite web |url=http://okc.about.com/od/politicalparties/a/fordcentervote.htm |title=Ford Center Arena Improvement Plan |last=Knapp |first=Adam |accessdate=November 17, 2010 |publisher=www.about.com}}</ref> This initiative was passed by a 62% to 38% margin, and extended a prior one-cent sales tax for a period of fifteen months in order to fund $121 million in budgeted improvements to the arena, as well as fund a separate practice facility for a relocated franchise.<ref name=knapp1/>

Renovation work on the arena was delayed due to a sales tax receipt shortfall during the 2008-10 economic crisis; eventual tax receipts totaled $103.5 million rather than the projected $121.6 million.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.okc.gov/agendapub/cache/2/xo5hufii3c1njdqg3sqfuw55/98900111172010122518933.PDF |title=MAPS 3 Citizens Advisory Board Presentation |date=August 24, 2010 |work=City of Oklahoma City}}</ref> The shortfall was acommodated by revising plans for certain features of the arena expansion project, including limiting the size of a new glass entryway, and elminaing a practice court planned for above the delivery entrance of the arena.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newsok.com/article/3483508 |last=Rohde |first=John |work=The Oklahoman |date=August 8, 2010 |accessdate=November 17, 2010 |title=Ford Center practice gym eliminated from renovations}}</ref> Major construction work on the arena expansion was also delayed from the summer of 2010 to the summer of 2011.

Similar revisions were made to the plans for the Thunder's separate practice facility, for a total cost savings of approximatley $14 million.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.newsok.com/article/3474044 |title=

'''Olimpia Milano''' is a [[Serie A (basketball)|Lega Basket]] [[Italy|Italian]] professional [[basketball]] team, based in [[Milan]], [[Italy]], founded in 1936 by Milan businessman Adolfo Bogoncelli. Its colors are red and white, and the team is sometimes referred as "Scarpette Rosse" (Little Red Shoes) because team officials imported from the [[United States]] red [[Chuck Taylor All-Star|Converse All-Star]] shoes for players. The tag line stuck, and the nickname is still used by many fans today.

As usual in the Italian league, their sponsorship has kept the team name changing frequently. From 1936 until 1955, Borletti sponsored the club, then sponsorship changed to Simmenthal until 1973. Other famous sponsorships were Billy, Simac, Tracer and Philips in the Eighties. For past club sponsorship names, see [[#Sponsorship names|the list below]].

It's the most titled basketball team in [[Italy]], having won 25 [[Lega A|Italian Championships]], 3 [[Euroleague|European Champions Cups]], 4 [[Coppa Italia di pallacanestro maschile|Italian National Cups]], 1 [[Intercontinental Cup (basketball)|Intercontinental Cup]], 3 [[Saporta Cup]]s, 2 [[Korać Cup]]s and many other youth titles.

Well-known players that have played with the team have included: [[Bill Bradley]], [[Antoine Carr]], [[Mike D'Antoni]], [[Earl Cureton]], [[Joe Barry Carroll]], [[Bob McAdoo]], [[Dino Meneghin]], [[Ken Barlow (basketball)|Ken Barlow]], [[Albert King (basketball)|Albert King]], [[Marc Iavaroni]], [[Aleksandar Djordjevic]], [[Antonio Davis]], [[Darryl Dawkins]], [[Gregor Fučka]], [[Dejan Bodiroga]], [[Rolando Blackman]], [[Anthony Bowie]], [[Thurl Bailey]], [[Beno Udrih]], [[Danilo Gallinari]] and lately [[Maurice Taylor]].

==History==
Foreign players began playing in 1957, and the team kept winning the [[Serie A (basketball)|LEGA Basket]] Serie A championship of Italian basketball, with players from the 1960s including Nane Vianello, Sandro Riminucci, Pieri, and [[Bill Bradley]]. In the 60's and the 1970s three teams were fighting across Europe for supremacy: Olimpia Milano, [[Pallacanestro Varese|Ignis Varese]], and [[Real Madrid Baloncesto|Real Madrid]]; [[Pallacanestro Varese]] and Olimpia Milano were arch-rivals, as the two cities are 25 miles (40 km) apart. While Milano was a frequent [[Serie A (basketball)|Italian League]] champion, they were unable to win the prestigious [[Euroleague|European Championship Cup]].

Late in the 1970s, the quality of play declined, but Olimpia Milano still won a [[Saporta Cup|Cup Winners' Cup]]. In the second half of the 1970s the team signed several good players: the Boselli twins, Mike Silvester and [[Mike D'Antoni]]. American [[head coach]] [[Dan Peterson]] and a new sponsor led the team back to prominence, and the team was sold in 1980 to the Gabetti family. Top Italian superstar [[Dino Meneghin]] joined the team in 1981 and more players signed for Milano afterwards— John Gianelli, Roberto Premier. [[Bob McAdoo]], [[Joe Barry Carroll]], [[Russ Schoene]], [[Antoine Carr]], and [[Mike Brown (basketball player)|Mike Brown]] followed.

During the 1980s, they qualified for nine LEGA championships finals, winning five, with the 1987 team winning LEGA Serie A, the European Championship (won also in 1988: both finals were won against [[Maccabi Tel Aviv (basketball)|Maccabi Tel Aviv]]), the Italian Cup and the [[1987 Intercontinental Cup (basketball)|1987]] [[Intercontinental Cup (basketball)|Intercontinental Cup]]. This gave the club the coveted [[Triple Crown in Basketball]] and the even rarer Quadruple Crown.

Led by point guard [[Aleksandar Đorđević|Sasha Djordjevic]], the team won another [[Korać Cup]] in 1993. Bepi Stefanel purchased the team in 1994, and the team signed notable European players like [[Dejan Bodiroga]], [[Gregor Fučka]], Sandro De Pol, and Nando Gentile. In 1996, the team won the Italian Cup and its 25th Italian National Championship, celebrating the 60th anniversary of the club.

Team management has been inconsistent as ownership groups from 1998 to 2004 have included [[Warren Kidd]], [[Hugo Sconochini]], Claudio Coldebella and Petar Naumoski. The current ownership, which bought the club in 2004, includes [[Adriano Galliani]] (Managing Director of Italian Football club [[A.C. Milan]]), [[Massimo Moratti]] (President of rival club [[Internazionale Milano F.C.|Internazionale]]), [[NBA]] star [[Kobe Bryant]], and stylist [[Giorgio Armani]], among others.

On January 25, 2006, in the midst of a disappointing season in the Euroleague and domestically, Djordjevic was named as the team's new coach. He left as coach after the 2006–07 season, but not before securing Olimpia a berth in the [[Euroleague 2007-08|2007–08 Euroleague]].

'''Pallacanestro Varese''' is a professional basketball club that plays to [[Serie A (basketball)|Lega Basket Serie A]], the top level of [[Italy|Italian]] basketball, for the 2009–10 season after winning the 2009 title of the second-level [[LegADue]]. The club had been [[promotion and relegation|relegated]] from Lega A after finishing second-from-bottom [[Serie A (basketball) 2007-08|the previous season]].

The club was founded in 1946. For past club sponsorship names, see [[#Sponsorship names|the list below]].

==History==

Basketball was introduced in [[Varese]] in 1946 with the creation of the historical club, Pallacanestro Varese. The first sponsors were introduced 8 years later in 1954 including Storm and Ignis, followed by Emerson, Turisanda, [[Cagiva]], Star, Ciaocrem, Divarese, Ranger, Metis, [[Whirlpool Corporation|Whirlpool]] and the most recent, Cimberio. Varese is also famous due to the lack of main sponsor in the mid-1990s and the choice of franchise name, the Varese Roosters.

Since their creation, Pallancanestro Varese has won 10 Italian titles, -1961, 1964, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1977, 1978 and the last title, won 21 years after the previous title, in 1999. With 10 titles, [[Varese]] is the third most winning team of the Italian League ever after [[Olimpia Milano]] and [[Virtus Bologna]].

As it is shown by its roll of honors, [[Varese]] was extremely competitive in the 1970s, when the club played ten [[Euroleague]] finals in a row, winning 5 of them in 1970, 1972, 1973, 1975 and 1976. Between 1970 and 1975 the club was named '''Ignis Varese'''. The golden age had begun some years before, as Varese conquered the [[Intercontinental Cup (basketball)|Intercontinental Cup]] in [[1966 Intercontinental Cup (basketball)|1966]], repeating it 4 and 7 years later in its greatest decade in [[1970 Intercontinental Cup (basketball)|1970]] and [[1973 Intercontinental Cup (basketball)|1973]]. Varese succeeded in doing the great enterprise, the [[Grande Slam]], winning all the trophies available in 1973 with famous Professor [[Aleksandar Nikolić|Aca Nikolić]] seating on the bench. Varese also won two [[Saporta Cup|Cups of the Cups]], 1967 and 1980, and four Italian Cups, in 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1973.

Varese's great age ended in the early nineties, when the team dropped down to the second division. Soon, the club took its revenge coming up once again to the Italian top league, and after 5 years spent as the real team to watch in the Italian playoffs, it succeeded in winning its historical 10th title, the one that gives the star on the jersey in 1999, with Italian national team's coach [[Carlo Recalcati]] on bench. Varese has never repeated that triumph so far, but the great resound of that success is still echoing all over Italy. Varese is trying to return to the top Italian and European competition in the years to come.

Its name ''Crvena zvezda'' means Red Star and it's part of the [[SD Crvena Zvezda|Red Star Belgrade]] sports society ([[polideportivo]]).

KK Crvena Zvezda participates domestically in the [[Sinalco Superleague]] which determines which Serbian teams will compete in the [[Euroleague]] and which will compete in the [[ULEB Eurocup|Eurocup]]. Red Star also domestically competes in Serbia's domestic cup tournament, the [[Radivoj Korać]] Cup, which is named after a legendary player.

Crvena zvezda's fans are known as [[Delije]].

==History==
When the subject of great teams in the cradle of European basketball arises, the name of Red Star Belgrade is always a part of the discussion. As one of the most-crowned teams in the former [[Yugoslavia]], Red Star has always commanded attention wherever it plays.

====Early years and ten consecutive championship titles (1940s and 1950s)====
By winning the first of ten consecutive championship titles after the [[WWII|Second World War]], the golden age of Red Star began. No domestic national selection could be imagined without seven or eight Red Star basketball players and the first quintet featured [[Nebojša Popović]], [[Tulio Roklicer]], [[Aleksandar Gec]], [[Ladislav Demšar]] and [[Srđa Kalember]]. Their style was unique, they made basketball popular in Serbia and achieved first international results for former Yugoslavia, playing in an open-air court at [[Kalemegdan]] fortress Upper Town. The greatness of this team cannot be disputed. They were pioneers of Yugoslavian basketball who achieved amazing results, entertaining the audience with their game style, just as with their squad harmony both on and off the court. After a decade filled with nothing but success, game scores started to decline, generation shift arrived and it took Red Star fourteen long years to win another trophy.

====A giant reborn (late 1960s and 1970s)====
That long awaited eleventh title was won in the 1968-69 season, when Red Star won all six games against [[KK Split|Jugoplastika]], [[KK Zadar|Zadar]] and [[KK Partizan|Partizan]], therefore proving to be better than all three fierce rivals. Led by [[Vladimir Cvetković]], the title was won by [[Dragan Kapičić|Kapičić]], [[Zoran Lazarević|Lazarević]], [[Ivan Sarjanović|Sarjanović]], [[Ljubodrag Simonović|Simonović]], [[Srđan Skulić|Skulić]], [[Zoran Slavnić|Slavnić]], [[Tihomir Pavlović|Pavlović]], [[Nemanja Đurić|Đurić]], [[Miroslav Todosijević|Todosijević]], [[Dragisa Vučinić|Vučinić]] and [[Dubravko Kapetanović|Kapetanović]]. At that time, they were the youngest championship winning team in Yugoslavian basketball.

The twelfth title was won in the 1971-72 season, after which Zvezda's league success deteriorated gradually. In the 70s the club won the national cup three times, and most of the work in those years was done by Slavnić, Simonović, Kapičić, Vučinić and Živković. This generation of players definitely failed to certify their talent by winning only two national championships and three national cups, although they were widely considered capable of achieving much more.

====Continental competitions (1970s and 1980s)====
Red Star also had significant international success, having played in five continental cup finals so far.

Zvezda lost the first [[Saporta Cup|Cup Winners' Cup]] finals to Italian [[Olimpia Milano|Olimpia Simental]] in 1972 by a score of 70:74. Then, in 1974, they defeated [[Spartak Brno|Zbrojevka]] from Czechoslovakia by a score of 86:75. This team's third finals in the Cup Winners' Cup were lost to [[Spartak Leningrad]] by a score of 62:63 in 1975. In the club's first [[Korać Cup]] finals, in Paris in 1984, French [[Élan Béarnais Pau-Orthez|Élan]] won by a 73:67 score. In the Korać Cup second finals in 1998 Zvezda played two matches with [[Scaligera Basket|Mash Verona]] from Italy. They triumphed in the away match with 74:68 score, but lost the home match by 64:73. With the total score being 138:141, the precious trophy wasn't won.

====Another comeback (1990s)====
Early 1990s were marked by play-off finals with arch-rivals Partizan in 1992 they lost final series led by coach [[Dušan Vujošević]]. The thirteenth championship title was won after a gap of no less than 21 years, in 1993. In the fifth match of the playoff finals Zvezda beat fierce rivals and co-tenants Partizan. The players who won that championship title are: [[Saša Obradović|Obradović]], [[Nebojša Ilić|Ilić]], [[Zoran Jovanović|Jovanović]], [[Mile Marinković|Marinković]], [[Nikola Jovanović (basketball)|Jovanović]], [[Mileta Lisica|Lisica]], [[Dejan Tomašević|Tomašević]], [[Dragoljub Vidačić|Vidačič]], [[Aleksandar Trifunović (basketball)|Trifunović]], [[Rastko Cvetković|Cvetković]], [[Slobodan Kaličanin|Kaličanin]], [[Predrag Stojaković|Stojaković]] (then only a youngster) and [[Srđan Jovanović|Jovanović]]. In the next season Red Star won its fourteenth national championship title literally without any problems. In the playoff finals Partizan was beaten by 4:1 overall.

Zvezda won the championship for the fifteenth time in 1998. In those playoff finals Red Star beat [[KK FMP|FMP Železnik]] by an overall score of 3:1. The main star of that team was without any doubt Yugoslavian national team power forward [[Milenko Topić]], and other influential players were [[Igor Rakočević|Rakočević]], [[Oliver Popović|Popović]] and [[Zlatko Bolić|Bolić]].

====Last ten years (2000s)====
In the early part of 2002, the club got a complete new management. Individuals from the political and business milieu close to ruling [[Democratic Party (Serbia)|Democratic Party]], such as [[Živorad Anđelković]] (nicknamed Žika Pauk), Goran Vesić, and Igor Žeželj, took over key positions in the club. From summer 2002 onwards, the project called ''evropska Zvezda'' (European Red Star) was thought up in order to slowly and methodically return the club on the path of its former glory. To that end, the club hired [[Slovenia]]n coach [[Zmago Sagadin]] who became the organizational centerpiece at the club. In his first season Sagadin did not actually coach the team (that role was given to [[Aleksandar Trifunović (basketball)|Aleksandar Trifunović]]), but he did make all the important personnel decisions in the role of a sport director. Under Sagadin's guidance Red Star entered Adriatic League at the beginning od 2002/03 season. In August 2003, ahead of the 2003/04 season, Sagadin took over the coaching duties formally as well. Despite all the efforts, the club did not manage to win any major trophies in this period, and in November 2004 Sagadin got fired.

In the last couple of years the club is struggling to get back on a winning streak, and managed to win the 2003 and 2006 national cup ([[Radivoj Korać Cup]]) finals. The first of them was held in Novi Sad, where Zvezda beat the national champion Partizan, then the host [[KK Vojvodina|Vojvodina]] and, finally, [[KK FMP|Refleks]] from Železnik. All three matches were won in overtime, which is something to remember, especially when it is known that those matches were played without some of the best players, including the team captain [[Igor Rakočević]] who missed the final match. Besides Rakočević, the cup was won by [[Goran Jeretin|Jeretin]], [[Vuk Radivojević|Radivojević]], [[Milan Dozet|Dozet]], [[Miloš Mirković|Mirković]], [[Norman Richardson|Richardson]], [[Milko Bjelica|Bjelica]], [[Aleksandar Đurić (basketball)|Đurić]], [[Vladislav Dragojlović|Dragojlović]], [[Luka Bogdanović|Bogdanović]], [[Čedomir Vitkovac|Vitkovac]] and [[Aleksej Nešović|Nešović]]. The 2006 cup was won in Belgrade when Zvezda won superiorly against [[KK Hemofarm|Hemofarm]] by 80:65. The team was coached by [[Dragan Šakota]] and featured the likes of Jeretin, [[Milan Gurović|Gurović]], [[Gerrod Henderson|Henderson]], [[Miroslav Raičević|Raičević]], [[Larry O'Bannon|O'Bannon]], [[Igor Milošević|Milošević]], [[Vujadin Subotić|Subotić]], [[Nenad Mišanović|Mišanović]], [[Vladislav Dragojlović|Dragojlović]], [[Čedomir Vitkovac|Vitkovac]], [[Vuk Radivojević|Radivojević]] and [[Pero Antić|Antić]].

During its more than six decades long history, Partizan has won as many as 36 trophies.

They have also won 11 national basketball cups and four consecutive [[NLB League|Adriatic leagues]] - in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

The most significant trophy the club has won is the European Champion trophy at the Final Four of the [[Euroleague]] in Istanbul in 1992. KK Partizan was the [[Euroleague|European champion]] in 1992 with curiosity of winning the title, although playing all but one of the games (crucial quarter-final game vs. [[Virtus Bologna|Knorr]]) on foreign grounds (in [[Madrid]] suburb [[Fuenlabrada]]); [[FIBA]] decided not to allow teams from the [[SFRJ|former Yugoslavia]] to play their home games at their home venues, because of open hostilities in the region. Same year club took national championship and cup, and won [[Triple Crown in Basketball|Triple Crown]]. KK Partizan was not allowed to defend the title in the 1992–93 season, because of [[UN]] sanction. They also won 3 [[Korać Cup|Radivoj Korać Cups]] in 1978, 1979 and 1989. and runners-up 1974.
[[File:KK Partizan 2008-2009.JPG|Partizan squad in 2008/2009 season|thumb|left|220px]]
KK Partizan has grown into the most famous basketball brand from Serbia and team acclaimed both on the European and World levels. Partizan has earned respect not only by winning and constantly participating in the European competitions, but also thanks to a multitude of its players that have worn the jersey of the National team, the squad who has conquered the world earning fame and trophies for their country. No European team has given as much players in the world best league NBA as Partizan did and they have always been the trademark of the country which was multiple European and World basketball champion.

KK Partizan became the first Serbian team to play an [[List of NBA vs FIBA games|official game against NBA teams]], in September 2009.

==Arena==
{{main|Pionir Hall}}
[[File:Partizan fans Pionir.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Partizan fans during game against Efes Pilsen, December 10, 2009]]
The "Pionir" arena was built in 1973 in just 11 months, by the "Energoprojekt" construction company.

Basketball in Yugoslavia was then in full swing and although Pionir hosted many different sport events ([[volleyball]], [[Team handball|handball]]) it quickly became known as basketball sanctuary.

The Yugoslav national team won the European gold in 1975 under its roof, and also brought luck to the Lithuanian champions [[BC Žalgiris|Žalgiris Kaunas]] in 1998, when they took the [[Saporta Cup]].

Partizan moved in the Pionir in 1992 after their old hall [[Hala sportova]] became obsolete for a club that was about to take the European throne.

The Pionir is today a modern, fully equipped facility that can successfully meet the basic standards of European competition.

In season 2008–09 Partizan played their home games of the Euroleague Top 16 in the [[Belgrade Arena]]. On March 5, 2009 against Greek powerhouse Panathinaikos a record crowd of 22,567 was set for the Euroleague (and also for any basketball club game held indoors in Europe).<ref>[http://www.euroleague.net/news/i/45551/180/item Euroleague.net - Partizan sets crowd record at Belgrade Arena! - March 05, 2009 - ARENA Attendance: 22.567]</ref> Partizan enjoyed their fourth visit to the [[Euroleague]] Final Four in the 2009-10 season.

'''KK Split''' (Košarkaški Klub Split) is a [[basketball]] club from [[Split (city)|Split]], [[Croatia]]. Currently, KK Split competes in the [[A1 Liga]], [[Krešimir Ćosić Cup]] and [[NLB League]].

==History==
The club's roots are found in Hajduk sports society's basketball section, which was established in [[1945]]. After three years of mostly sporadic activity, in [[1948]] the club established its own organizational structure as '''KK Hajduk''' independently of sports society. Next year, [[1949]], the club changed its name to '''KK Split'''. In 2009, the team moved to the brand-new [[Spaladium Arena]] for their home games.

After competing in lower divisions for more than a decade, the club finally made it to Yugoslav First Federal League for the 1963/64 season and it stayed there until the breakup of [[SFR Yugoslavia]].

In [[1967]] the club adopted a name '''KK Jugoplastika''' and kept it until [[1990]].

KK Split has been a very successful club in European basketball. They are, together with the first champions, [[ASK Riga]] the only team to win the [[Euroleague]] trophy three times in a row. In the years 1989, 1990 and 1991, the team known back then as Jugoplastika and POP 84 with players like [[Dino Rađa]], [[Toni Kukoč]], [[Žan Tabak]] and [[Velimir Perasović]] won the top European basketball trophy.

Apart from these successes, the club also reached the Euroleague final in 1972, falling to [[Ignis Varese]] and won two [[Korać Cup]]s in 1976 and in 1977.

The club had the names Slobodna Dalmacija, [[Croatia Osiguranje]], Split - Croatia Osiguranje and the English translation of the latter, Split Croatia Insurance.

KK Split has lately financial problems, but is looking to revive its legendary years in the near future.
