Main article: Yugoslavia national basketball team

Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until 1992, therefore players born in Bosnia and Herzegovina played for the Yugoslav national basketball team. Notable players who played for Yugoslavia include Predrag Danilović, Zoran Savić, Aleksandar Nikolić, Borislav Stanković, Dražen Dalipagić and Mirza Delibašić. Most of these players are widely considered to be some of the best ever to emerge from the former Yugoslavia.
