Ahmet Efe Aydan (born May 4, 1955 in Ankara, Turkey) is a Turkish former professional basketball player.
Aydan was also the first Turkish basketball player to play on the FIBA European Selection (the All-European Team), in 1981, where he displayed a memorable performance in a game against the Spanish ACB League club Joventut Badalona.
[2][3] The ambitious Aydan started playing basketball in the youth ranks of Galatasaray Istanbul, when he was 16 years old.
During his playing career, Turkish club basketball lacked in quality, which caused Aydan to be relatively unknown outside of Turkey, at the time.
He also led Turkey to their first ever international title, as they defeated Bulgaria, in the final of the Balkan Championship, in 1981, with Aydan again being the Turkish team's most valuable player.
