[edit] History
Ahmet Robenson, a physical education teacher in Galatasaray High School decided to introduce a new game to students in 1911. That was how basketball entered Turkey. Robenson, who also became a Galatasaray S.K. president later, helped this new sport to be known which became popular soon.[1]
Galatasaray is the pioneer in Turkish basketball history, and basketball had always been very important for the club. The team has won 15 national championship titles and 16 İstanbul League title, a Turkish record. Former president of the club, Özhan Canaydın was a former player of basketball team.
On 24 June 2011, Galatasaray announced that Cafe Crown's sponsorship was over.[2]
