Hi ersoz,
Welcome to the forum. I don't think one could point to a single thing that is the secret of Greek basketball. For sure, they have good coaches with plenty of success at international level, who help tremendously in development of young players. Winning tradition is also important - Greek clubs as well as the national team are considered elite. It's also related to Greek mentality to never give up. Young players know that if they work hard and prove themselves they can end up in Olympiacos or Panathinaikos and become well-paid stars. Probably our Greek members could give a better answer but these are some points that might be worth considering.
