Sources & methodology
World Cup campaigns parsed from the tournament record for the editions on file; championship-game results follow a reviewed canonical table (the source dump blends adjacent editions). Olympic podiums cover all 21 tournaments. Soviet Union and Unified Team results fold into Russia, Yugoslav lineages into Serbia, attributed per edition. Olympic gold is the headline honour on country cards, by editorial choice. EuroLeague club data comes from the season-by-season workbook sheet. The world ranking is our own Elo, the same rating that feeds the Universal Index nations board, and it replaced the FIBA ranking on 4 October 2026.
