Club career
Panathinaikos
Basinas started his career with Greek side
Mallorca
Although rumored to go to Birmingham City, Everton, AEK Athens and Olympiacos during the 2006 winter transfer window, Basinas signed a contract with Mallorca preferring to leave Greece and join the Spanish Primera División.
In the second half of the 2005–06 season, Basinas completed a successful first period at Mallorca, helping to save the team from relegation proving a key part of the struggling team's survival. In his second year at the club he helped the team to finish in seventh position, one point from European qualification.
He was released by Mallorca on 1 July 2008 after his 2+1⁄2-year contract came to an end. He played 81 games (one goal, one assist) with the club in all competitions.
AEK Athens
On 31 July 2008, Basinas signed a three-year contract of €1.4 million per annum with AEK Athens,[2] choosing the number 14. Despite the pre-season odds, AEK underachieved during the first half of the season and lost the title race too early, making Basinas favourable towards a new move during the winter transfer period.
Portsmouth
On 2 February 2009,
Arles-Avignon
In the summer 2010, Basinas moved to
International career
Basinas won his first cap in a 3–1 win over El Salvador on 18 August 1999 and scored his first goal in just his second match, also against El Salvador just two days later. He remained a part of the national team setup since his debut and was a regular after Otto Rehhagel took over in 2001.
He was a key player in Greece's upset
After Theodoros Zagorakis retired, Basinas was selected to take the captain's arm band. Basinas earned his 100th cap for Greece 1 April 2009 in a FIFA World Cup 2010 qualifier against Israel. At the time, he was only the second Greek player to achieve 100 national team appearances alongside Theodoros Zagorakis.
