Sebastiaan Jacques Henri "Bas" van de Goor (born 4 September 1971, in Oss) is a retired volleyball player from the Netherlands who represented his native country at two consecutive Summer Olympics, starting in 1996. He was elected twice as the most valuable player of the Olympics (1996 and 2000).[1]

At van de Goor's Olympic debut, he won the gold medal, alongside his younger brother and three-time Olympian, Mike, by defeating arch rivals Italy (3–2) in the final.[1] Four years later, he ended up in fifth place at the 2000 Summer OlympicsinSydney, Australia.[1]

Van de Goor's national volleyball coach Joop Alberda referred to him as the "Michael Jordan of volleyball".[2]

In 2018, van de Goor was inducted into the International Volleyball Hall of Fame.[1]

Personal life[edit]

In 2003, van de Goor was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. He has founded the Bas van de Goor Foundation, aimed at "improving the quality of life for people with diabetes through sports".[3]
