Product Description
It all began in Istanbul. Turkish basketball, which started in the early 50s with physical education teacher Ahmet Robenson, would go on to achieve international success in the future. Until 1945, basketball championships in the country were held exclusively in Istanbul. In the 1960s and 70s, the dominant teams in the league, known for their invincibility, were all based in Istanbul. Turkish basketball embarked on a remarkable journey with legendary figures like Yalçın Granit, Aydan Siyavuş, Efe Aydan, and Ergin Ataman.
The Turkish national basketball team reached the final of the World Championship held in Istanbul in 2010, where they played against the United States and finished as the world runners-up.

With its comprehensive approach to the subject, "Basket İstanbul" represents the most extensive work ever undertaken in this field, chronicling the long journey of Turkish basketball.
