-Greece’s own debut in Olympic Basketball was in Atlanta in 1996. The Greek team was partly the old guard from the glorious national team of [[1987]] (Giannakis, Christodoulou, Fassoulas, Patavoukas) and partly new young stars (such as Sigalas, Oikonomou, and Rentzias). It was an Olympic success, taking fifth place.
