Back to the top!!! Panathinaikos conquered its sixth European Championship in the Euroleague Final Four hosted in the στο Palau San Jordi in Barcelona.

After a difficult course throughout the season and after being disputed for a good part of the year, the team showed on the court a truckload of character and what it can do. The trophy found its way for the sixth time to the hands of Zeljko Obradovic’s players, with the coach putting down in history a few records of his own. Dimitris Diamantidis, Panathinaikos’ captain, lifted the trophy way up, but only after calling Mike Batiste and Kostas Tsartsaris to assist him in doing so, because – as the captain said himself – “they have been with the team more years than I have and they deserve it!”

The “Greens” completed the first round with a 7-3 run against Power E. Valencia (72-56, 69-73), CSKA Moscow (74-60, 72-68), Olimpija L. (84-85, 95-88), Efes Pilsen (84-61, 78-79), and Armani Jeans Milano (81-71, 93-62). These results landed them on the top spot of Group D. By the end of the Top16 round Panathinaikos dropped to second place with 4-2 run after having faced Lietuvos Rytas (80-59, 68-67), Unicaja Málaga (82-56, 77-61) and Caja Laboral Vitoria (70-77, 76-74). Caja Laboral also had a 4-2 run and ultimately landed on top of Group E. The continuation was even better, since Panathinaikos faced at home disadvantage the team of Barcelona, which many considered the favorite to win the title. Panathinaikos lost the first game in Barcelona right down at the finish line (83-82). It is quite possible that never before had a defeat made so many people believe that this team can make it even up against the absolute favorite; the most important thing, though, is that the players had already believed it. All of them… Without talking too much, believing in their abilities and wanting to prove all those who had doubted them wrong, they won the second game in the Palau Blaugrana (75-71). The home-court advantage now came to the hands of the Greek team that made the most of it. Panathinaikos won the third game by 76-74 and the fourth game by 78-67 with the OAKA indoor arena being full to capacity and pulsating by the power-boosting! The 3-1 run sent Panathinaikos to the Barcelona Final Four, which was the tenth in its history (1994, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011).

Power comes in numbers but not to Panathinaikos, since it was the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans that had inundated the city of Barcelona. Supremacy in the stands, though, was clearly a matter of “clover” fans. More than 4000 fans showed in action that others may show disbelief. The semifinal victory over Montepaschi Siena by 77-69 was the first reason that justified traveling all the way to the capital of Cataluña in times of financial dire straits. The triumph over Maccabi Tel Aviv by 78-70 in the final was the absolute justification for all those who believed in this team that has made all those who love Panathinaikos so very proud.

This title was the sixth for the club, the sixth European Championship, the sixth Euroleague title, bringing Panathinaikos together with CSKA Moscow second only to Real Madrid in the relevant list. Dimitris Diamantidis was voted for the second time Euroleague Final Four MVP, an award that only two other players so far have won twice: Toni Kukoc and Dejan Bodiroga. Zeljko Obradovic, was already the head coach with most titles under his belt, but distanced himself even more from the rest of his colleagues by winning his eighth title (1992, 1994, 1995, 2000, 2002, 2007, 2009, and 2011).

*On Saturday, May 7 the “Best of the Year awards” were presented. Dimitris Diamantidis left full of trophies since he won his sixth Defender of the Year award (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2011), was named to the All-Euroleague First Team for the second time (2007, 2011) and was voted All-Euroleague MVP. Mike Batiste also won a spot in the All-Euroleague First Team. And the awards kept coming in… Zeljko Obradovic was voted “Head Coach of the Year”. And the people who have kept the team together all these years, Pavlos and Thanassis Giannakopoulos, received the Best Executive award!

The year was made for those who believe in coincidences. They would have been sure that luck winked at them when they saw that Panathinaikos, in the first matchday of the competition, would have to face Zalgiris Kaunas.

They would triumph over the... non-believers, when in Berlin at the 02 Arena, the "greens" were once again conquering the Euroleague. And in 1995, the first step on a path that led to the first star, took place in Kaunas. Through a difficult year, with many injuries, they succeeded, reached the finish line and were crowned European champions for the fifth time.

The first phase ended with Panathinaikos counting 7 wins and 3 losses against Zalgiris Kaunas (78-51, 80-69), Barcelona (66-90, 76-87), Nancy (80-70, 83-69), Montepaski Siena (81-76, 77-82) and Procom (67-60, 75-53). Zeljko Obradovic, in the last match against the Poles, made an outburst at the press conference that went down as... historic. In the Top16, despite being in third place after the first round, the "greens" won 5-1 (Partizan 81-63, 56-63/Unicaja Malaga 81-69, 103-95/Lotomatika Roma 92-67, 90- 71) and qualified for the playoffs without facing any further problems.

The "Greens" welcomed Montepaski Siena in a packed OAKA with a home advantage, looking for three victories. In the first match, we got the positive result we wanted (90-85). The second match, however, did not go as we would have liked. Siena defeated Panathinaikos (79-84). Home advantage had passed into the hands of the Italians, as the next two matches would be hosted in Tuscany. However, the pace was initially set inside and then outside of the OAKA locker room by Zeljko Obradovic and his players: "Let's go for two wins!" They believed it and put it into practice. They prevailed in stunning fashion, dominating every aspect of the game and won by 72-53 in the third game, taking the victory in the fourth match also (91-84) and the mission to be present in Berlin was accomplished.

For the first time since 1995, Panathinaikos would face Olympiakos in a semi-final of a final four. The pressure was on, with the coaching staff trying to defuse the situation, talking about "two games to the title". The "greens" were better, they won (84-82) and reached the final. Their opponent, same as 2007, was Ettore Messina's CSKA Moscow. We were simply unstoppable in the beginning, taking a 48-28 lead into the first half. Some things changed in the second half, the match became a derby, but the final result was the same: With a 73-71 score, Panathinaikos was crowned as the European champion for the fifth time in its history. The most valuable player of the final four was Vassilis Spanoulis (and a member of the second best five of the Euroleague), but also the fans surrounding the team, who were by our side from the beginning to the end, won the battle on the stands. Nikola Pekovic was named in the best Euroleague team, while Dimitris Diamantidis was named as the best defender of the year.

If in 2002 everyone saw Panathinaikos as an outsider, in 2007 everyone saw us as the absolute favorite. Not when we reached the final four, but from the first Euroleague matchday. Since October 2006. The reason? The final four was based in Athens... OAKA... The "home" of Panathinaikos. The "greens" made sure to justify the predictions, they made sure not to deny anyone and, in a stadium, suffocatingly full, under the gaze of Nikos Galis and Stojan Vrankovic, who were deified by the "greens", we won the 4th European championship of the club’s history. The top of the Euroleague belonged to us once again after five years with only one final four appearance in 2005 in Moscow.

Panathinaikos had an 11-3 record in the first phase of the tournament:
Hovedut Badalona 83-73, 82-79, Cibona Zagreb 86-69, 78-75, Olympia Ljubljana 83-74, 86-65, Lotomatika Roma 87-71, 79 -69, Unicaja Malaga 87-72, 61-67, Partizan 80-93, 75-63, Maccabi Tel Aviv 90-88, 73-76. In the Top16, Panathinaikos defeated Efes Pilsen (84-57, 79-65), suffered a defeat from Barcelona (102-82, 66-87) and advanced with two wins over Procom Trefl Sopot (95-68, 75- 69). Dynamo Moscow was not a significant obstacle (2-0/80-58, 73-65) and Panathinaikos had the ticket for their own final four in their hands.

We made our own progress, despite losing two key members in the summer, Jaka Lakovic (Barcelona) and Vassilis Spanoulis (Houston Rockets). Panathinaikos showed that he can do without them, reaching the semi-final to face Tau Keramika. We won 67-53 in a low-scoring game. Zeljko Obradovic was asked about the tempo, about the score, to which he replied with a smile: "Who knows? Maybe in the next match things will be different. The game shows you what to do." He obviously knew what he was talking about, as in the final against CSKA Moscow the victory came with a… high 93-91 in one of the most beautiful and exciting Euroleague finals, in front of an amazing crowd. With amazing effort from all the players, whether they were used a little or a lot. But one was named MVP and this was Dimitris Diamantidis, who found his place in the best team and as the best defender of the year. Ramunas Siskauskas was also in the second-best team, while Zeljko Obradovic was named coach of the year.

1996 was the first step, 2000 the confirmation, 2002 the biggest possible proof that Panathinaikos was here to stay, that we were determined to build our empire. Although he was considered an outsider by most, we reached Bologna and we reached our third European championship, beating, on Easter day, the home team Kinder Bologna of Ettore Messina and Ginobili, Becirovic, Rigondeaux, Smodis and Jaric.

Panathinaikos' journey came full circle in the 2001-02 season, as our competitive duties began against Bologna team, Fortitudo (81-70, 79-77). This was followed by matches against CSKA Moscow (85-91, 80-83), Po Ortez (67-79, 63-67), Buduchnost (91-82, 84-72), Krka (82-81, 92-98), Zadar (102-64, 85-81) and Real Madrid (70-78, 88-77). In the Second stage, the group that was created was... Greek, since Panathinaikos, Olympiacos, AEK and Olympia Ljubljana were at the same group. The "greens" found themselves with their backs against the wall. The run started with a loss against Olympiakos (92-75), continued with a home win over Olympia (85-67), followed by an away win over AEK (66-73) and a home win over Olympiakos (88-78) ) and AEK (96-92). The qualification was finally decided with an away victory over Olympia Ljubljana with 79-72.

Many were quick to "write off" Panathinaikos from the semi-final, where we would face Maccabi Tel Aviv, as Maccabi won Panathinaikos in last year’s Suprolig final at Palais De Bercy. Zeljko Obradovic guided his players perfectly, pulled an ace up his sleeve and Panathinaikos got the ticket to the final four with a 83-75 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv. The aces were not over for the “Greens’” coaching staff, who were well read and with players determined to get the win in a hostile environment. "Palamalagouti" was on the side of Kinder Bologna, but the Greek team had soul and he proved it by returning to the field from the half-time break. Panathinaikos found themselves trailing by eight points at the halfway point, but everyone in the locker room spoke about victory. Only this mattered. Lazaros Papadopoulos played an important role, with the “Greens” having undisputed leaders in the names of Dejan Bodiroga and Ibrahim Kutluai pointing the way to the title. And they succeeded... All together! The match "turned around", "Palamalagouti" remained silent, but in the end they were forced to applaud Panathinaikos who were lifting their third European trophy and celebrated their third European Championship, with Bodiroga emerging as the MVP of the final four and a member of the best starting 5 of the competition.

Four years after the Paris triumph, Panathinaikos returned to the top of Europe. This time within the Greek boarders, as the second Euroleague trophy was won in the newly built indoor PAOK gym in Pylaia. Already being established as a “permanent” Greek Champion, the "greens" on April 20, 2000, were crowned European champions for the second time.

Coincidentally, it all started with a match against Zalgiris Kaunas. Panathinaikos won both games in Athens and Kaunas in Group B, in the first phase of the competition (82-66, 86-82). The matches against Tofas Prusa (64-59, 79-74), Olympia Ljubljana (100-80, 86-71), Real Madrid (96-69, 66-63) and Alba Berlin (73-54, 70-72) followed. In Phase B, we faced Red Star (76-61, 67-58), Sole (85-50, 68-81) and PAOK (77-69, 71-75). With a score of 13-3 (1246-1084), Panathinaikos finished first in the group, ensuring home advantage for the rest of the competition. In the Top16 we eliminated Budučnost (2-1, 65-59, 64-77, 78-61) and in the quarterfinals Cibona Zagreb without losing (2-0, 73-62, 69-63), ceremoniously qualifying to the final four of Thessaloniki.

Panathinaikos defeated Efes Pilsen 81-71 in the semi-final with Bodiroga, Rebratsa, Alvertis reaching double-digits in points and without being threatened by the Turks at any stage of the game. The final was clearly a different story, as Maccabi Tel Aviv fought until the end. All Panathinaikos players contributed, Zeliko Rebratsa walked away with the Final Four Most Valuable Player award, but perhaps the player most fans remember is Oded Katas. The Israeli was emotionally charged at the prospect of facing the team he grew up in, but when needed, he hit a decisive shot in front of Maccabi's fans. Maccabi fans, however, at the end of the match deified him! Upon the end of the game, (73-67), Panathinaikos’ fans praised their players for the second European Championship, and the first of the Zeljko Obradovic, in his first year on the "green" bench.

April 11, 1996, can be considered as a landmark date for Panathinaikos and our fans. It’s the day that we first reached the top of Europe. The victory over Barcelona at Palais de Bercy in Paris led to Panathinaikos being crowned European champion, laying the foundations for the European empire we went on to build.

The first step towards winning the title took place in Lithuania. Against Zalgiris Kaunas, in special conditions, in a packed stadium, Panathinaikos won (56-59). We also achieved a positive result in Athens in the second game (86-66) and then the "Greens" made their way back with the charter. Then, we marked our presence in Group B, where we faced Barcelona (57-63, 74-95), Real Madrid (54-52, 73-80), Benfica (67-51, 87-96) , Buckler Bologna (72-69, 72-69), Cibona Zagreb (79-61, 83-82), Maccabi Tel Aviv (67-62, 86-79) and Po Ortez (87-79, 67 -69). We finished third in the group standings, which led us to Italy, against Benetton Treviso. There, for the first time, the “hand of god” had to intervene to win the title. In the third match, Panathinaikos got the victory thanks to a last second layup by Stojan Vrankovic (70-67, 69-83, 65-64), sealing our presence to the final four in Paris.

The "greens" faced no problem in the semi-final against CSKA Moscow, having the support of its fans on the stands. Panathinaikos won 81-71 and went to the final where we would face Barcelona, who eliminated Real Madrid in the other semi-final. Almost 10,000 fans of ours were at the Palais de Bercy, watching Panathinaikos maintain control of the game. In the final minutes, the Catalans pressed, reduced the gap by making long shots and were just a basket behind. A steal in center field helped Montero run on the open court. What followed is something no Panathinaikos fan can ever forget. No one will forget Stojan Vrankovic, a 2.20 man, sprinting over the fallen Panagiotis Giannakis and blocking the Spaniard in his final effort. The Croatian giant, and rightly adored from every Green fan, fell to the floor, watching everyone celebrate the conquest of the first European Championship for Panathinaikos and first for any Greek club. Dominique Wilkins was named MVP of the final four with 51 points combined in the two games.
