[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)

[edit] AMAZING

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)

i still remember back in 2002 when Regie Miller and Jermaine O neal cryed after we defeted them.......

Hopefully we will win this year again,for the third time in the rowDzoni 04:48, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[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)

I changed it already. --Howard the Duck 05:19, 18 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?

I counted them, and Wiki is consistent with the list. --Howard the Duck 16:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[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.

User:Mkr moved it already. --Howard the Duck 16:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[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

  1. Did FIBA recognize FR Yugoslavia as the successor state of SFR Yugoslavia?
  2. Did FIBA recognize Serbia and Montenegro as the successor state of FR Yugoslavia?
  3. Did FIBA recognize Serbia as the successor state of Serbia and Montenegro?
