Hi I hope I get the chance to play EuroBasket overseas!

That would be so great! EuroBasket is such an exciting event that's held biannually!

I agree, can you tell me more about what it is?

It's the biggest men's basketball competition in Europe! It's run by FIBA Europe, sort of like the NBA of Europe! It's a huge event!

It must attract a lot of people then! It is similar to FIFA World Cup?
1_Wizard
It is! It's actually known as the FIBA Basketball World Cup! The tournament began all the way back in the 50s!

That was long time ago. Do you know any famous players from it?

The first jump shot in the EuroBasket was performed by the Italian player, Giuseppe Stefanini in 1946. He's became quite a legend!

Giuseppe Stefanini? I think I have heard of him. He was my grandfather's friend!
