No longer the exclusive domain of the United States where it was first invented in 1891, basketball has emerged as a world sport in recent years as Team USA had become eclipsed by other top nations.

Not to say that the United States has lost its world powerhouse standing in good old-fashioned B-ball.

But they have lost their dominance in some recent international competitions, finishing sixth at the 2002 World Championship in Indianapolis, and settling for the bronze medal at the 2004 Olympic Games.

The chink in their armor was enough to forever more give hope to other emerging European and other world teams - Spain among them - who went on to victory at the 2006 World Championship and who remain reigning world champions at the 2010 games.
