Aris BC
Encyclopedia
Aris Basketball Club is the professional basketball team of the Thessaloniki
-based Greek
sport club Aris Thessaloniki. Aris BC was founded in 1922, eight years after the founding of Aris Thessaloniki.
Aris BC is one of the most successful Greek basketball clubs of all times, tallying 10 Greek Championships, 8 Greek cups, and 3 European titles. Under the leadership of the legendary duo of Nikos Galis and Panagiotis Giannakis
, Aris was the dominant force in Greek basketball during the 1980s and early 1990s. It is for this period of dominance that Aris BC has been nicknamed "The Emperor" and voted the most successful Greek sporting club of the 20th century. Aris is also one of the most renown Greek clubs in European basketball, participating in 3 consecutive Euroleague
final-fours, and winning 3 European titles. The historic win of the 1997 Korać Cup
, in particular, bolstered the notion that Aris has a unique place in the history of Greek basketball, in fact in the history of Greek sports altogether.
Well-known players that have played with the club over the years have included: Nikos Galis
, Panagiotis Giannakis
, Reggie Theus, Walter "The Truth" Berry, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf
, Roy Tarpley
, Stojko Vranković
, Žarko Paspalj
, Panagiotis Liadelis
, Giorgos Sigalas
, Andrew Betts, Nikos Hatzivrettas
, Mihalis Kakiouzis and Dimos Dikoudis.
The first appearance by Aris in an official international competition was during the 1967-68 season, when they participated in the European Cup Winner's Cup
as the Greek runner-up. From that season onward, Aris acquired the Alexandrio Melathron
as its home court, which it still is to this day.
, but this all began to change in 1979. In that year, the team won its first Greek Championship
in the modern era, largely through the inspired play of Haris Papageorgiou and the coaching of Giannis Ioannidis
. It helped provide the spark for the complete domination of Greek basketball by Aris during the second half of the 1980s and the early 1990s.
If that first championship was the spark, then the fuel for Aris' brilliant stint at the top of the sport was undoubtedly Nikos Galis, thought by the vast majority of Greek basketball fans to be the best Greek basketball player of all time, and one of the best ever in Europe. Galis, the son of Rhodian
immigrants from New Jersey
, signed on in October 1979 and played his first game against Iraklis Thessaloniki
in December of that year, scoring 30 points. Fred Develey, the former coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv who became the coach of Aris, was instrumental in convincing the management that Galis would not only change Greek basketball but would change Greek basketball in Europe. The management was more concerned about his lack of height than his ability, until they saw him play.
It would take another four years for Aris to rise to the top again, winning the national championship in 1983, with Galis taking the game in Greece to new heights, showing coordination and creativity then (some would argue even now) unprecedented in Greek courts, and almost single handedly beating powerhouse rivals like Olympiacos
and Panathinaikos. That year also marked the return of Giannis Ioannidis to the Aris bench.
A very successful 1983–1984 season had a bitter ending, as Aris battled for both the Greek Championship
and the Greek Cup
but lost the national cup final to crosstown rivals PAOK
and the league championship game to Panathinaikos Athens under dubious circumstances. A taste of things to come, however, had been offered during Aris' games against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the qualifying round for the European Champions' League
in the fall of 1983. Aris was narrowly eliminated by the very powerful Israeli League
team, but not before posting an away win at Tel Aviv
, something that no other European team had managed to do for many years.
to Aris from Ionikos Nikea. Nikos Galis now had a first-class partner. The result? Total carnage for other teams. The lethal back court blazed through the Greek League for seven consecutive years, with the help of players such as Nikos Filippou
, Michalis Romanidis
, Lefteris Subotic, Doxakis, Vasilis Lipiridis
, and others, winning 7 championships, and 5 cups (one cup being memorably lost to Panathinaikos in 1986, with Galis performing surprisingly poorly in a single-elimination game in Athens
). Especially between 1985–1988, the question was not who the champion would be, but if Aris would go undefeated or not, as the club won an unparalleled 81 games in a row at one point.
, eventually losing to Pallacanestro Varese
of the Italian League
and without the services of Galis for the first game in Thessaloniki
(he was injured in practice 3 days before the game).
Aris formed the backbone of the Greek national team
, sending Galis, Giannakis
, Filippou
, Romanidis
, and Lipiridis
(to help Greece
win the gold medal in Eurobasket 1987
and the silver medal in Eurobasket 1989
). The back court of Galis-Giannakis first came to European prominence in the 1986 FIBA World Championship
in Spain, where upstarts Greece performed surprisingly well, while Galis won the top-scorer award.
It was during that year, 1986, that Aris made the news in Europe in the Champions' League
qualifying round. Having been unceremoniously eliminated by Limoges of The French League
in 1985, Aris was arbitrarily paired against Olimpia Milano
in the qualifying round. An insurmountable task, considering that Olimpia were arguably the best team in Europe and furthermore had acquired Bob McAdoo, possibly the best American player (still) to ever play in Europe. Aris, sporting Nikos Galis, Panagiotis Giannakis
, Lefteris Subotic, and a third rate American player, Jackson, managed an unbelievable win in Thessaloniki
by 31 points, almost assuring the elimination of Olimpia
and advancing into the final group of the 6 best European teams. However, the return leg saw Olimpia winning by 34 points and eliminating Aris, since Galis was absent due to an injury problem.
Aris had to wait for another year to compete in Europe again, but their strength had been established. In 1987 Aris was not paired against an established team and thus advanced to the final round of the 8 best European champions. The same was achieved in the next four years, and while Aris did not win the Champions' Cup
they were very successful in the tournaments, reaching the final-four in 1987, 1988, and 1989. By then Aris had become a household name in basketball in Europe.
Arenas were completely sold out wherever Aris was playing, opponents' fans were applauding Aris for their performance, and streets were empty when Aris played European games, as Greeks throughout the country were glued to their TV sets to watch the inspired play of Galis and company. Such was the impact that basketball overtook football as the most popular sport in Greece. For example: Aris was playing basketball with other European teams every Thursday night. Since then and up to 2003, every Thursday night cinemas in Greece offered tickets at reduced prices.
. Fierce rivals in all sports, the Aris and PAOK basketball face-offs had a distinct flavor between 1985 and 1992, as those were the two top teams in Greece. In games where a defeat is more than a lost game, the mood of most of the fans of either Aris or PAOK is quite seriously affected for some time following a defeat to their opponents.
The most memorable game was the third playoff game between the two teams in 1991. Aris had a 2 game lead from the regular season, but PAOK managed to even the score with 2 victories in the first 2 playoff games, so, naturally, they had the momentum going into the 5th game of the best-of-seven series. PAOK was up by 4 points almost 10 seconds before the end of that 5th game. What followed left scars in many PAOK fans: Panagiotis Giannakis
scored a quick 2-point basket, reducing the deficit to 2 points. A sloppy inbounds pass was stolen by Dinos Angelidis, who passed the ball to Nikos Galis, who (guarded by a frenzied John Korfas
) started to penetrate, but then passed the ball to Giannakis, who drilled a 3-pointer at the buzzer. Aris went on to win the next playoff game and thus the 1991 championship.
, versus AEK Athens
. That final was quite significant since it marked Galis' last game for Aris. The player who almost by himself made basketball hugely popular in Greece had won 8 Greek Championships
and 6 Greek Cups
with Aris in 13 years.
The team management made what was proven to be a mistake in their plans for the 1992-93 season. The president (Mitroudis) in cooperation with Steve Giatzoglou
(the new coach) decided to build the new team around Giannakis
instead of Galis. Even though Roy Tarpley
was signed and Aris was dominating in the start, things fell apart and irresponsible management in conjunction with lack of discipline led to the 5th spot in the final standings of the Greek League. Yet, another success came for the team, as Aris won the Cup Winners' Cup
, beating Efes Pilsen of the Turkish League
48-50 in a very dramatic game.
With the exception of advancing to the semifinals of Cup Winners' Cup
of 1994, those two seasons are marked by players (Panagiotis Giannakis
, Vagelis Vourtzoumis
, Miroslav Pecarski
, Vasilis Lipiridis
, Michail Misunov
) filing suit against the team for not receiving their salary and incentives. Repeated wrong choices for foreign players, changing of coaches, as well as inept management by the ownership were the highlights rather than success on court. Well-known Terry Catledge
fled the team, Sam Vincent
and Sean Higgins
were released, while other inappropriate choices such as Frederick and King were made. Despite all this, the usual support of the fans combined with the rise of some Greek players (Dinos Angelidis, Panagiotis Liadelis
) held Aris, and the team managed to qualify for the Korać Cup
of next year.
and Dinos Angelidis, along with the unexpectedly good Harold Ellis started to draw the crowd back into Alexandreio Melathron. That Aris team beat PAOK
once during the regular season, while advancing to a 4-team group in Korać Cup
, and almost getting first place in that group. It was clear that things were on the upswing. In the summer of 1996 something extraordinary for Aris happened.
The team sponsor, Zafiris Samoladas, spent a huge amount of money and revitalized the team. José Ortíz
, Charles Shackleford
, Tzanis Stavrakopoulos
, Floros, Mario Boni, Papadatos, Holopoulos joined the team, which, all of a sudden, appeared very strong and with exceptional depth at every position. The team started well by beating PAOK and Panathinaikos, but faltered against Olympiacos
both for the Greek Championship
and for the Greek Cup
, losing both games in Thessaloniki and prompting the firing of Markopoulos.
Subotic, from the 1987–1992 era, took over as coach and produced some satisfactory results, but Aris still displayed a lot of the disadvantages of a newly formed team. Aris, though, had a spectacular run to the Korać Cup, Beşiktaş
of the Turkish League
, Beobanka of the Yugoslavian League
, Peristeri
of the Greek League
, and Benetton Treviso
of the Italian League
were all eliminated in dramatic fashion, with the overtime return leg game in Italy reminding many of the old glory of Aris in Europe. The final was against Tofaş Bursa
of the Turkish League and there couldn't be a more satisfying way of winning the Korać Cup: Aris, the heavy favorites, lost in shocking fashion by 11 points in the first game in Thessaloniki
. Centuries old passions and nationalistic enmity resurfaced, as the Turks, assured of the Korać Cup win at that stage, were waiting to give the final blow in Bursa. Fortunately for Aris' and Greek fans, the difference in talent and coaching showed in the game in Bursa, where Aris dramatically won by 18 points (70-88), in an arena filled with fanatic spectators who finally broke down and started hurling debris towards the court, when the outcome was evident.
It was a remarkable moment as Panagiotis Liadelis
, Dinos Angelidis, Giannis Sioutis
and the other Greek players, lifted the Korać Cup inside the Turkish arena, and filled millions of Greeks with pride. This last win over Tofaş Bursa established Aris as the only Greek team who can rightfully be called "Tourkofagos". That was proven to be the high point of the season. Aris returned to the Greek Championship games and in idiotic fashion lost three games against inferior opponents Panionios
, Papagou, and Peiraikos.
In the 1997-98 season, which was yet to start, Aris was sort of an enigma. Having retained all but one (Charles Shackleford
) of its main players, and having signed Žarko Paspalj
, Tiit Sokk
, and Nasos Galakteros
, the talent was still there, although rebounding problems were sure to appear. The hiring of Efthimis Kioumourtzoglou
as coach was viewed skeptically by many, as he was regarded as an old-fashioned coach who employed aged and predictable tactics for his teams' play. Samoladas had stepped down from the sponsor position, and the team still did not have a wealthy sponsor or a certain source of revenue to pay for players' high salaries. Qualification for the Euroleague
was critical that season, but not many of Aris' fans believed it was a realistic goal, as Olympiacos
, AEK Athens
, and Panathinaikos seemed to be way ahead in terms of personnel and financial status. Still, miracles can happen.
left at mid-January, due to the fact that the team hadn't had the money to pay him. Tiit Sokk
followed his way as well. Leadership of Lefteris Hatzopoulos quit, Efthimis Kioumourtzoglou
was no longer the coach and Aris was on God's hands while some of the most dramatic moments in the club's history were taking place. The club had no money, but they had plenty of soul. Within two weeks, they beat all of the considered to be big teams of Greece (Olympiacos
, PAOK
, Panathinaiks and AEK
), the two last ones in the Final Four of the Greek Cup
and they became winners of the 1997-98 Greek Cup. Mario Boni was about to leave the team too before the Final Four but he stayed because he loved the team and its fans, and he helped a lot in this tremendous effort. Then he moved on join Virtus Roma
as he couldn't stand it anymore either. Braveheart Aris continued with just 8 players thereafter in the season.
In October, Aris beat Peristeri
at the eighth-finals of the Greek Cup
and proceeded to the Greek Cup Final Four for the first time since 1999. Aris fans realized that the best was yet to come, as together with the qualification Aris was a very competitive team that was among the top teams in FIBA's FIBA Europe Cup
. Among others, Aris had in its squad, players such as Willie Solomon, Ryan Stack
, Feodor Lickholitov, Miroslav Raičević
, Ivan Grgat.
However, the first attempt to re-gain the throne of the Greek Cup
was unsuccessful. The final four of the competition, held in Larissa
, was the great rendezvous for all Aris fans around Greece. There were 3,500 crazy Aris fans in the sold out 5,500 capacity stadium of Larissa Neapolis Arena
and they did their best to support the team, in order to win the first Aris title since 1998. In the semi-final, Aris came back from a -24 point deficit and finally beat Makedonikos
92-86, proceeding to the great final against rival Panathinaikos, whose task was much easier, as it needed only to overcome Iraklio
in the other semi-final.
The great final, held the next day, was a very tight and competitive game, but at the end, some critical and partial decisions of the referees in favor of Panathinaikos, as well as the fatigue of Aris players from the previous day's semi-final, were the decisive factors that gave Panathinaikos the title. However, Aris fans renewed their rendezvous for the upcoming final four of EuroCup
, that was going to take place in Alexandreio, at Thessaloniki
.
In front of 6,000 crazy fans, that filled the Alexandreio Melathron stadium as early as 2 hours before the starting jump-ball, Aris hosted KK Hemofarm
of the Serbian League
for the semi-final game of the competition, on 2 May 2003. Aris was very nervous and needed a sudden wake-up in the second half to overcome the difficulties of the game and overcome the Serbian rivals. Aris was back in a European final. After 6 difficult and unbearable years. Now, there was only one game left to win a championship. The game would be against Prokom Trefl Sopot
of the Polish League. Aris fans were again at their positions and created a unique atmosphere that remained the trademark of the competition. So on May 5, 2003, Aris and Prokom battled or the title. The game was almost the same as the previous one for Aris, and although a second-halftime wake-up call gave the impression that Aris had won the game, Prokom made an unexpected return and was in the lead 83-81, after a successful 3-point shot by Tomas Masiulis
, with only 6 seconds left in the game. At that time, the "ghost" of "The Empire", the one that "led" Aris to its great 7-year reign during the late 1980s, appeared once again in the Alexandreio Melathron. Willie Solomon drew a foul for Aris against Prokom
. He made the first free throw, then missed the second free throw, but Miroslav Raičević
grabbed the rebound and put the ball in the basket and Aris won the game at the very end by a score of 84-83.
Aris was lucky enough that season to have probably its strongest team in a decade, as the club had well-known players that season like Smush Parker
, Toby Bailey
, Nestoras Kommatos
, Ryan Stack
, Feodor Lichkolitov, and Miroslav Raičević
. Aris eliminated Iraklis during the Greek Cup
and proceeded to the Greek Cup Final Four for the second consecutive season. The Cups Final Four that year was held at Lamia Indoor Hall Halkiopoulio in March.
2,600 Aris fans cheered the team on as they overcame Apollon Patras
in the Cup
semi-final game and proceeded to the final game against rival Olympiacos
. During the Cup final game against Olympiacos, some Olympiacos fans acted out with some serious violent behavior, throwing fire rockets into the stands where the Aris fans were seated and both teams' fans were subsequently forced by the referees to evacuate the arena. Because of the delay caused by this, the game lasted more than 4 hours.
The game continued after the fans were escorted out. Aris' players were able to remain concentrated on the game and were able to pull out the victory by a score of 73-70, giving the club its 8th Greek Cup
Championship. The Aris fans that had evacuated the stadium, had remained in their cars to listen to the radio broadcast of the game and had also gathered at roadside cafes and bars in order to be able watch the rest of the game on television.
After the victory, the fans rushed out into the streets to celebrate and were soon joined by the team itself in the street celebration that eventually formed into a celebration convoy that head back to Thessaloniki
. At Thessaloniki, Aris' supporters gathered at The White Tower of Thessaloniki
, which is the symbol of the city. The team's players climbed up to the top of the White Tower to watch the crowd below them and to celebrate with them.
On the other hand though, that same season Aris was eliminated in the FIBA EuroCup
by fellow Greek League
club Maroussi
and it's rising star player Vassilis Spanoulis
. Aris lost the best of 3 games series 2 games to 1 in the final eight round versus Maroussi. That same season Aris was eliminated in the Greek Championship
playoffs by AEK Athens
, who managed to beat Aris at Ivanofio in the quarterfinals. The Greek League playoff loss to AEK knocked Aris out of a Euroleague
position for the next season.
. In October, Aris drew a bracket match up to play against Makedonikos
in the Greek Cup
semifinals. That season there was no Final Four
system, and the semifinal match up was a 2 game series, rather than a single-elimination game..
Aris had to play its "home" game in the match up at the Larissa Neapolis Arena
instead of at Alexandreio Melathron as a punishment for what had happened at the previous Greek Cup
final game against Olympiacos
where the fans of both clubs had gotten out of control. Aris lost the game in Larissa
, the first in the 2 game series 73-74. The second game was held in Kozani
at Makedonikos'
home.
Makedonikos decided to make tickets for the game unavailable to Aris supporters. Nonetheless, about 500 Aris fans went to Kozani and were able to secure tickets. They cheered the club on as it won the second game by a score of 89-78 and Aris advanced to the Greek Cup
final game as it had outscored Makedonikos
by 10 points over the 2 games and thus won the tie breaker. Aris had to play the Euroleague
powerhouse Panathinaikos in the final.
The Cup
final took place at Irakleio, on Crete
and the Hellenic Basketball Federation
decided not to allow any tickets to the game to be sold to the fans of the two teams, but instead only to the local people of the Irakleio area. However, about 150 Aris fans were able to manage their way into the arena to help support the club. The Cup final was a tough and hard fought game. Aris played well but lost to Panathinaikos by a 72-68 margin. The Aris players complained during the game (fairly in some of the cases) about the refereeing. Although many Aris supporters felt the game was not reffed fairly, many other Greek fans did believe that Panathinaikos won the game fairly.
That same season Aris participated in a ULEB
competition for the first time as it was a part of the ULEB Cup
that year. The club's goal was of course to win the ULEB Cup so that the team would secure a birth in the Euroleague
competition the following season. Aris proceeded to the Top-16 round of the ULEB Cup, where it was matched up against Lietuvos Rytas
of the Baltic League
(Lietuvos Rytas would be the team that would eventually go on to win the ULEB Cup championship) in a 2 game series.
Aris split the two games with Rytas
but lost the series on the points aggregate
differential -2 points. That same season Aris was also eliminated from the Greek Championship
without taking home the national championship. The club was eliminated in a fashion that at the time the worst possible scenario for both the team's players and fans as Aris lost in the playoffs once again to AEK Athens
. But what made the loss even more painful was that AEK managed to secure the clinching series victory at Aris' home arena the Alexandreio Melathron.
in 4th place, with a 15-11 win-loss record. Aris lost to Panathinikos during the play-off semifinals, and had to face Marousi in a best-of-5 series for third place. With the series tied at 2-2, Aris went on to beat Marousi BC 59-63 in a dramatic game 5 in Athens. This earned Aris a return to the Euroleague
after a 14-year absence, to the delight of its fans.
Although Aris was eliminated from the Greek Cup
, they managed to reach the ULEB Cup
final game, which was held at the Spiroudome
in Charleroi, Belgium. Aris proceeded from the group phase to the Top 16 stage, where the team eliminated fellow Greek club Panionios
in a 2 game series. Aris won the first game in the series by a score of 72-70 in Athens. In the second game at Alexandreio
, Aris defeated Panionios 112-105 in double overtime. Aris then eliminated the French Pro A League
club ASVEL Lyon-Villeurbanne
with 2 victories by scores of 67-60 and 77-67.
In the semifinals, Aris then faced Hemofarm
in a repeat of the semifinal of the 2003 Champion's Cup
. Aris lost by a score of 74-71 in the game in Serbia and needed a late victory in the game in Thessaloniki to make it to the final against Dynamo Moscow
. On April 11, Dynamo Moscow defeated Aris 73-60 in the final and won the ULEB Cup
championship.
, finishing the regular season in second place with a 21-5 win-loss record. Although this gave Aris a home court-advantage in the Best-of-5 playoff semi-final against Olympiakos, Aris lost game five in 75-83 and had to face Panionios BC for the 3rd place series and a renewed Euroleague berth. Aris defeated Panionios 73-60 in game 5, securing their second consecutive Euroleague appearance.
The 2006-07 season also marked the return of Aris to the Euroleague for the first time since the 1988–1989 season, an 18-year absence. Aris was placed in Group C, with CSKA Moscow
, FC Barcelona
, Benetton Treviso
, Pau Orthez, Eldo Napoli, Fenerbahçe, and Žalgiris Kaunas
. With a 6-8 win-loss record, Aris managed to clinch 5th place in the group and thus qualify to the Top 16. Aris was then placed in Group D, alongside Unicaja Málaga, Dynamo Moscow
, and Benetton Treviso. Aris was eliminated from the competition, only managing a 1-5 win-loss record and finishing at the bottom of the group.

Early History
Aris BC, the basketball branch of Aris Thessaloniki was founded in 1922, 8 years after the founding of Aris AC. The sport was still new to Greece, having been introduced in the country in 1919. In those days, the teams shared a single open-air court, and Aris competed in the local Thessaoloniki championship, which it won 5 times in the years 1926-30. The first national Greek Championship was held in 1927-28, and Aris BC won its first Greek championship title on 23 April 1930, beating ΧΑΝΘ with a score of 32-22.The first appearance by Aris in an official international competition was during the 1967-68 season, when they participated in the European Cup Winner's Cup

. It helped provide the spark for the complete domination of Greek basketball by Aris during the second half of the 1980s and the early 1990s.
If that first championship was the spark, then the fuel for Aris' brilliant stint at the top of the sport was undoubtedly Nikos Galis, thought by the vast majority of Greek basketball fans to be the best Greek basketball player of all time, and one of the best ever in Europe.

in December of that year, scoring 30 points. Fred Develey, the former coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv who became the coach of Aris, was instrumental in convincing the management that Galis would not only change Greek basketball but would change Greek basketball in Europe. The management was more concerned about his lack of height than his ability, until they saw him play.
It would take another four years for Aris to rise to the top again, winning the national championship in 1983, with Galis taking the game in Greece to new heights, showing coordination and creativity then (some would argue even now) unprecedented in Greek courts, and almost single handedly beating powerhouse rivals like Olympiacos

they were very successful in the tournaments, reaching the final-four in 1987, 1988, and 1989. By then Aris had become a household name in basketball in Europe.
Favorite Team in Greece
The most important contribution of Aris to Greek basketball was the establishment of the sport of basketball in Greece as an almost pure spectacle. Aris (chiefly through the play of Nikos Galis) elevated the measly standards that existed among teams to heights that demanded the attention of the sports fans. It was a team that mesmerized audiences used to boring styles of play, and showed flashes of brilliance night in and night out. The fervent desire to see the team they supported win, quite evident in Greek people, succumbed to the enjoyment that the fans received from watching a team perform in such an entertaining fashion while dismantling their opponents.Arenas were completely sold out wherever Aris was playing, opponents' fans were applauding Aris for their performance, and streets were empty when Aris played European games, as Greeks throughout the country were glued to their TV sets to watch the inspired play of Galis and company. Such was the impact that basketball overtook football as the most popular sport in Greece. For example: Aris was playing basketball with other European teams every Thursday night. Since then and up to 2003, every Thursday night cinemas in Greece offered tickets at reduced prices.

. Fierce rivals in all sports, the Aris and PAOK basketball face-offs had a distinct flavor between 1985 and 1992, as those were the two top teams in Greece. In games where a defeat is more than a lost game, the mood of most of the fans of either Aris or PAOK is quite seriously affected for some time following a defeat to their opponents.
The most memorable game was the third playoff game between the two teams in 1991. Aris had a 2 game lead from the regular season, but PAOK managed to even the score with 2 victories in the first 2 playoff games, so, naturally, they had the momentum going into the 5th game of the best-of-seven series. PAOK was up by 4 points almost 10 seconds before the end of that 5th game. What followed left scars in many PAOK fans: Panagiotis Giannakis
