Israel at Eurobasket/Banned by FIBA Asia
Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2015 2:18 am
I know this is a hot button issue for a lot of people, but I am curious what people within the Basketball Universe think about this?
In the 80s FIBA Asia Banned Israel from competing against Middle Eastern Teams, Which is why they always play in Eurobasket. The rub is Eurobasket teams are way better than the FIBA Asia teams which prevents a country that could play in the Olympics from ever qualifying.
