History

The basketball section of the club was founded in the year 1937, nine years after the official founding of the parent athletic club (AONS Milon was founded in 1928). Milon played for many years in the second-tier division of Greece (Greek A2 League), and the third-tier division, Greek B National League, in earlier years. The club achieved promotion to the top-tier level Greek Basket League for first time, in the 1993–94 season. That season, Milon had the top scorer of the Greek League championship, Mitchell Wiggins,[2] but didn't achieve to remain in the first division, and was relegated down again to the Greek A2 League.

The club returned to the top Greek division in the 2000–01 season. That was the club's last season in the first division. During those years, several well-known players played in Milon, such as Mitchell Wiggins, Ioannis Sioutis, Vangelis Sklavos, and others. In recent years, the club has played in the lower level tiers of the Greek basketball league system.

In the 2014–15 season, Milon played in the A ESKANA (local regional championship of Athens, or the 5th tier of the Greek basketball league system).
