Greece national basketball team

The Greece national basketball team is the representative for Greece in international men's basketball competitions, organized and run by the Hellenic Basketball Federation. Traditionally, Greece is considered among the world's top basketball powers. They were runners-up in the 2006 FIBA World Championship, after beating 101–95 a United States team featuring LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Chris Paul, Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony in the tournament's semifinal. They have won the FIBA EuroBasket twice; in 1987, after beating the Soviet Union 103–101 in the final in Athens and in 2005, after beating Germany with a convincing 78–62 in the final in Belgrade. Greece is currently placed tenth in the FIBA World Rankings (down from fourth a few years ago, due to relatively poor results in recent years).
Greece has also won one silver (1989) and two bronze medals (1949, 2009) in FIBA EuroBasket, having closely missed a medal in several occasions in world and continental tournaments (4th place in the 1994 and 1998 FIBA World Championships, 4th place in the 1993, 1995, 1997 and 2007 FIBA EuroBasket), as well as ending up in the fifth place in their last three Olympic appearances (United States 1996, Greece 2004, China 2008). Between 1990 and 1997, following their consecutive successes in FIBA EuroBasket, the Greeks participated in all major international tournaments but one, with their lowest ranking being a sixth place in the 1990 FIBA World Championship.
Greece is also the only national team in the world that defeated the United States team during Mike Krzyzewski's era (2005–), as the latter has an undefeated record since that defeat in 2006, in all major competitions. Coach Krzyzewski, in a press conference during the 2014 World Cup, stated: ''"2006, that's a lesson we learned. The Greek Team taught us'' (the Team USA) ''how to play internationally."''
==History==

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