==History== ===Early years=== The basketball clubs' parent athletic union, the [[Panionios|Panionios Gymnastic Club]], was founded in 1890, in [[İzmir]], [[Ottoman Empire]] (located today in the modern country of [[Turkey]]), making it one of the oldest sporting clubs in Europe. The sporting clubs' basketball department was founded in 1919. After the Greek military suffered defeat in the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922)|Greco-Turkish War]] in 1922, the club was transferred to the [[Athenian]] suburb of [[Nea Smyrni]], in Greece.

The basketball department, Panionios B.C., began participation in the [[Greek Basket League]] starting in the 1928–29 season, and finished in second place in the league that year. Panionios B.C. finished in third place in the league the next year.

===Rise of the club to prominence in Greek basketball=== Panionios B.C. competed in the [[Greek basketball league system|top-tier]] Greek basketball league, in consecutive years, from the 1981–82 season until the [[2014–15 Greek Basket League|2014–15 season]]. In the 1986–87 season, Panionios played in the championship finals series of the Greek League, losing out to [[Aris B.C.|Aris]], and their two Greek basketball legends [[Nikos Galis]] and [[Panagiotis Giannakis]] (Giannakis would later go on to play for Panionios). In 1991, led by [[Fanis Christodoulou]], the team won the [[Greek Basketball Cup|Greek Cup]] title, by defeating [[PAOK B.C.|PAOK]] by a score of 73–70. Panionios also played in the finals game of the Greek Cup in both 1977 and 1995. Ιn the [[1993–94 FIBA Korać Cup|1993–94 season]], after an exciting run in the [[European professional club basketball system|European 3rd-tier]] level [[FIBA Korać Cup]], and after scoring a couple of wins against [[Maccabi Tel Aviv B.C.|Maccabi Tel Aviv]] in the quarterfinals, Panionios reached the semifinals, and played against [[PAOK B.C.|PAOK Bravo]]. This marked the first civil conflict between Greek basketball clubs in European-wide competitions, ever.

The club finished in 3rd place in the Greek League in the 1995–96 season, under their [[head coach]] at the time, [[Dušan Ivković]], and thus qualified to the [[EuroLeague]] for the 1996–97 season. In the [[1996–97 FIBA EuroLeague|FIBA EuroLeague 1996–97 season]], the team was coached by [[Efthimis Kioumourtzoglou]]. Two years later, in 1999, Panionios once again reached the semifinals of the FIBA Korać Cup, where they were again eliminated, this time from the super favorites of the tournament, [[FC Barcelona Bàsquet|FC Barcelona]], which featured [[Sasha Djordjević]].

In the [[Greek Basket League 2007–08|Greek League 2007–08]] season, under the ownership of [[Elias Lianos]], the founder of [[Proton Bank]], Panionios, led by [[Ivan Zoroski]], [[Giannis Kalampokis]], and charismatic head coach [[Nenad Marković]], finished in 3rd place in the Greek League. They came back from an 0–2 series deficit in the deciding best-of-five league third-place series against [[Maroussi BC|Maroussi]], and won the series 3–2. That secured the team a place in the [[EuroLeague]] competition for the [[Euroleague 2008–09|EuroLeague 2008–09]] season. This marked the club's first EuroLeague appearance in more than a decade.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.euroleague.net/news/i/35298/180/item|title=Team Focus: Panionios On Telecoms|access-date=21 September 2018}}</ref>

===Decline of the club=== After the [[2014–15 Greek Basket League|2014–15 season]], Panionios was [[promotion and relegation|relegated]] to the [[Greek A2 Basket League|Greek 2nd Division]], after 33 consecutive seasons with a presence in the top-tier level [[Greek Basket League]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Έμεινε εκτός Α1 ο Πανιώνιος|url=http://www.star.gr/Pages/Athlitika.aspx?art=244635&artTitle=basket_emeine_ektos_a1_o_panionios|publisher=star.gr|access-date=19 September 2015}}{{Dead link|date=April 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> For the 2015–16 season, Panionios preferred to play in the [[Greek basketball league system|third-tier]] of Greece, the [[semiprofessional|semi-pro]] level [[Greek B Basket League]], due to financial difficulties.<ref>{{cite web|title=Στην Α2 το Περιστέρι, στη Β’ ο Πανιώνιος|url=http://www.sport-fm.gr/article/basket/stin-a2-to-peristeri-sti-b%E2%80%99-o-paniwnios/3109065|publisher=sport-fm.gr|access-date=19 September 2015}}</ref> They were [[promotion and relegation|promoted]] up to the [[Greek A2 Basket League|Greek 2nd Division]] for the [[2016–17 Greek A2 Basket League|2016–17 season]].

Due to financial difficulties, Panionios was demoted down to the [[Greek B Basket League|Greek 3rd Division]], prior to the 2020–21 season.

The municipality of Nea Smyrni has begun the construction of a new modern-style multi-use indoor arena, called the Boban Janković Indoor Hall, named after [[Boban Janković]], which is being built on the same location as the old Nea Smyrni Indoor Hall. The new arena was scheduled to open for the 2022–23 season but after many delays the stadium is still unfinished. The club will play at a smaller arena in Nea Smyrni neighborhood, Andreas Varikas Indoor Hall, until its new arena is completed. Now, until the construction of the new stadium is completed, Panionios has its home ground at [[National Athletic Center Glyfada Makis Liougas]]
