[edit] World Basketball Champions' Teams
I like the idea, thanks to whoever found all the names of the players, but it should be cleaned up a bit. What does everyone think of turning the "look" of the article into more of a FIFA world cup look. Such as having First and Second place teams, and the links to the teams lead to their basketball teams. That's going to take some work, but is anyone up for it. And if not, what do you think? --Hurricane Angel 01:20, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

WE ARE SO SMALL COUNTY,BUT YET,WE ARE BETTER THEN ANYONE ELSE IN MOST OF SPORTS(well,at least those that we play:WORLD CHAMPIONS IN BASKETBALL......WORLD CHAMPIONS IN WATERPOLO......BEST VOLEYBALL TEAM IN THE WORLD......ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS IN HANDBALL)

[edit] "Third Place Match"
Shouldn't it be "Third Place Game" or "Third Place Playoff"? We have basketball games, not basketball matches. --Howard the Duck 13:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Champions
Strangely, according to the FIBA web site (in spanish) Brazil has 5 championships and Argentina two:
Does anybody know what happened in those years, and why is different depending on the web site language?
[edit] Title: FIBA World Championship
Shouldn't this article be moved to FIBA World Championship? "Basketball World Championship" Only seems to be a nickname for the said tournament. "FIBA World Championship" is the official name of the tournament.
[edit] Map
I'm planning to create a map but there are many defunct countries... --Howard the Duck 16:44, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- I've created a map. If there are some omissions, post on the Image's discussion page or at my talk page. Thanks. --Howard the Duck 05:47, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Poll
Who is going to be crowned this sunday Spain (ESP) or Greece (GRE)?
1 For greece
[edit] Revert
I self-reverted the "Comprehensive team results in each World Championship" section but it was a duplicate of the same section found at National team appearances in the FIBA World Championship. --Howard the Duck 02:58, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] SFR Yugoslavia, FR Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro, Serbia
- Did FIBA recognize FR Yugoslavia as the successor state of SFR Yugoslavia?
- Did FIBA recognize Serbia and Montenegro as the successor state of FR Yugoslavia?
- Did FIBA recognize Serbia as the successor state of Serbia and Montenegro?
--Howard the Duck 17:18, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, Fiba officially recognized all of those, in Fiba Serbia is the direct descendent of SFR Yugoslavia.
- What I know is only FIBA recognized the records of FR Yugoslavia to Serbia and Montenegro, which was succeeded by Serbia. SFR Yugoslavia had many player outside Serbia. --Howard the Duck 04:05, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- FIBA transferred SFR Yugoslavia's records to FR Yugoslavia because it was the continuation of SFRY, other countries like Croatia and Bosnia succeeded and created their own new countries even if SFRY had many non-Serbian players on the teams Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Macedonia still broke off from the original country.. Do you understand what I'm saying? FR was the direct continuation of SFR and in turn SCG is the continuation of FR and Serbia is the continuation of SCG.
- Take a look at the 2 references. On the first ref, the PDF by FIBA, there are 2 Yugoslavias on the last page. On the USA Basketball link, they've listed only one Yugoslavia, with an asterisk "*In 1998 Yugoslavia included only Montenegro and Serbia". Since FIBA > USAB, I chose to follow the FIBA PDF. --Howard the Duck 05:12, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

as somebody already pointed out to you, Croatia (and others) have separated from Yougoslavia, while Serbia stayed as its sucessor, and that is being recognized by virtually all international organizations, including FIBA. You may want to look at Serbia team profile at official eurobasket site, and you'll see that sucesses of SFRY basketball are listed there: http://www.eurobasket2007.org/en/cid_BqypGFJPHy-Nw4lwIAq,v3.teamID_96799.compID_qMRZdYCZI6EoANOrUf9le2.season_2007.roundID_5169.coid_J6itdCOZG-U2fSw6JdXEE0.articleMode_on.html
You may also want to compare it with with Croatia team profile on the same site. Of course, this all does not mean that non-Serbian players didn't have a strong impact on SFRY results, they contributed immensely, but the fact is Yugoslavia has a legal sucessor state (which is not the case for Soviet Union or Czechoslovakia).
[edit] Tournament articles
The Spanish Wikipedia has articles for each and every tourney. If anyone has Spanish skills (mine is very bad), it'll be great if they're translated. --Howard the Duck 16:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
