The Basketball World Cup has been held 18 times and has two top winners, Yugoslavia and the United States, with five titles each. The difference between them is that North Americans can continue to add crowns while Europeans disintegrated as a nation and divided into several countries, a similar situation to the Soviet Union which has three stars. The defending champions are Spain, who beat Argentina in the final in China 2019 and have two crowns to their credit, as much as Brazil. The Albiceleste, on the other hand, celebrated at the first edition in 1950.
- Yugoslavia v United States – 5th
- Soviet Union – 3rd
