The is one of the best-performing
Asia n teams in international tournaments, winning a bronze medal in the
1954 FIBA World Championship for men and a fifth-place finish in the
1936 Summer Olympics , the two best finishes of any Asian team in the history of the top two international basketball tournaments. Its national basketball federation is the
BAP-Samahang Basketbol Ng Pilipinas (SBP).
The current national team, nicknamed "Team ''Pilipinas''" (Team Philippines), is sponsored by the
San Miguel Corporation , the
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company , the
Philippine Basketball Association , and the
Philippine Basketball League . The coach of the team is
Vincent "Chot" Reyes .
Aside from the bronze medal at the World Championships and the fifth-place Olympic finish, the Philippines has won five
FIBA Asian Championships for Men, four
Asian Games Men's Basketball gold medals and a consistent winner at the
Southeast Asian Games and at the
Southeast Asia Basketball Association . The country has also participated in four
FIBA World Championship s and seven
Olympic Basketball Tournament s.
The Philippine national team is one of the most dominant basketball teams in Asia since the 1920s. The Philippines dominated the
Far Eastern Games and the
Southeast Asian Games but only partially dominate the
Asian Games and
FIBA Asia Championship with rivals like
Israel ,
South Korea ,
Lebanon ,
Japan and especially
China .]]
In the 1950s-1960s, the Philippines was among the best in the world, producing world-class players like
Carlos Loyzaga ,
Lauro Mumar ,
Mariano Tolentino and
Edgardo Ocampo . Loyzaga was even a part of the 1954
FIBA World Championship Mythical Team selection, where the Philippines won the Bronze medal.
The country lost its Asian basketball supremacy, when Asia's first and the world's second professional basketball league, the
Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), was founded on April 1975. Slowly, the country lost its best players to the league with FIBA restrictions of professional players in the national teams.
After 1975, the Philippines only managed to win the 1986
Asian Basketball Confederation (the national team qualified to the 1986
FIBA World Championship in
Spain but the team disbanded and failed to participate due to the
Political Crisis in the Philippines) and a bronze medal in the
1986 Asian Games . Both teams were bannered by future PBA stars
Allan Caidic ,
Samboy Lim and
Hector Calma .
In 1990, the Philippines sent and all-pro national team, coached by
Robert Jaworski , to regain the country's basketball supremacy in the Asian Games but the team lost in the final against China and settled for a silver medal. The team includes 1990 PBA Most Valuable Player Allan Caidic,
Alvin Patrimonio and Samboy Lim (who was selected for the Asian Games Mythical Team selection).
In 1998, the PBA formed the celebrated
Philippine Centennial Team that captured the 21st William Jones Cup championship but finished with the bronze medal in the Asian Games. While in 1994 and 2002, the PBA-backed national team only managed fourth placed finishes.
In 1963, FIBA suspended the Philippines for its failure to stage the 1963 FIBA World Championship after President ,
2006 .
The Basketball Association of the Philippines leadership crisis worsened after a lengthy feud between the group of Graham Lim and Tiny Literal and the group of Freddie Jalasco and Lito Puyat which resulted in FIBA's suspension of the basketball NSA.
However, a few months after, FIBA stepped-in and ordered an election that resulted in Literal's victory as the President of the BAP. The suspension was quickly lifted and the Philippines was able to compete in the Southeast Asian Games in Malaysia.
The Philippines was suspended by the International Basketball Federation on July
2005 after a long standing feud between the Philippine Olympic Committee and the BAP.
The story began on
April 10 ,
2005 , when the BAP-sponsored Cebuana-Lhuillier Philippine National team (comprised of little-known amateur players) lost to a lowly Parañaque Jets team (made up of showbiz personalities) in an
NBC Preseason tournament at the
Rizal Memorial Coliseum . After hearing the news, POC President Jose "Peping" Cojuangco called for improvements on the national team, most notably, the sending of a new team made up of professionals from the
Philippine Basketball Association .
While both parties, with the involvement of the
Philippine Basketball Association , the
Philippine Basketball League , the
UAAP and the
NCAA , reportedly agreed on an agreement on the formation of a new national team, things soon returned to the usual verbal war. The POC, through a vote, first suspended, then in a later meeting, expelled the BAP as the official National Sports Association (NSA) member and installed a new member in the Philippine Basketball Federation. The BAP, under new President Joey Lina, said that the expulsion was unconstitutional in the by-laws of the POC.
The situation worsened, when both parties still could not agree on who will banner the national team for the Southeast Asian Basketball Association tournament, a qualifier for the FIBA-Asia tournament in
Doha ,
Qatar . FIBA Secretary-General Patrick Baumann, then handed the suspension of the RP team from any FIBA-sanctioned tournament.
In hopes of securing a long term solution, FIBA, in a
Memorandum , ordered the PBA, PBL, UAAP, NCAA and Joey Lina (as a person or in Lina's claim, as a representative of the BAP) to form a new constitution or a formation of a new basketball body.
By March 2006, four stakeholders have signed into the propose new basketball body, which later named as
Pilipinas Basketball . Lina, however, has refused to sign on the memorandum, citing unbalanced factors that was put in the draft for a new body. After the four stakeholders met with Baumann in South Korea, the suspension was not even lifted nor was the draft for a new body was even accepted since Lina has not signed it.
However, in a significant move by both Pilipinas Basketball and the BAP at the FIBA Congress in Japan, both parties signed an agreement that will pave the way for the formation of a new cage body on or before September 30. The deadline lapsed and no significant moves had been made until February 5, 2007.
After several meetings between FIBA Secretary-General
Patrick Baumann , PB, and BAP officials in
Geneva and
Bangkok , a Unity Congress was held in which BAP, PB and Baumann attended. The BAP and PB agreed to merge to create the
BAP-Samahang Basketbol Ng Pilipinas (SBP) as the new national federation. The
Philippine Olympic Committee recognized the group as the new national governing body for basketball, after which the FIBA finally lifted the almost two-year-old suspension it imposed upon the country.

: Philippine basketball's and Asia's best point guard of the 1990s. Abarrientos played for the Philippines in the
1991 Southeast Asian Games and the
Asian Games . He was later selected to play for the
Philippine Centennial Team to represent the country in the
1998 Asian Games and the 21st
William Jones Cup . Abarrientos was named Most Valuable Player in an exhibition game against the FIBA Asia All-Stars team led by compatriot
Romel Adducul .
: Asia's most feared three-point shooter and arguably one of the greatest players ever to play for the Philippines internationally. He is a four-time veteran of the Asian Games (1986, 1990, 1994, 1998) and a two-time William Jones Cup champion (1985, 1998). Early in his career, Caidic played a major role for the Philippines in capturing the
1985 Southeast Asian Games and the 1985-1986
FIBA Asia Championship . In 1994, he was the Asian Games basketball tournament's leading scorer and was named to the all-tournament Mythical Five selection. In 1998, he represented the country for the final time with the celebrated
Philippine Centennial Team .
: The world's oldest professional basketball player and arguably the Philippines' most popular basketball player of all time. He represented the country in numerous international tournaments and is one of the last surviving Filipino basketball players to play in the
FIBA World Championship and the
Summer Olympics .
: One of the best players ever to play for the Philippine national team. A prolific scorer, he represented the Philippines in the 1982 Asian Youth Championship and in the 1985-1986 FIBA Asia Championship. He was later named into the
1990 Asian Games Mythical Five selection.
: Probably the greatest Filipino international basketball player of all time. He led the Philippines to four consecutive Asian Games gold medals and three Asian championship titles. His biggest achievement was leading the country to a third place finish and the bronze medal in the
1954 FIBA World Championship , the best finish by an Asian country in the history of the quadrennial tournament. He was later named into the all-tournament Mythical Five selection after finishing third leading scorer of that year's tournament.
: One of the greatest Filipino basketball players of the pre-
World War II era. He played for the Philippines in the
Far Eastern Games before leading the country to a fifth place finish in the
1936 Olympic Games , the best finish by an Asian country in the history of the Summer Olympics men's basketball tournament.
: One of the most prolific offensive players in Philippine basketball history. Salvador played for the Philippines in several Far Eastern Games tournaments where, in
1923 , he set an all-time record for the most points scored by a Filipino in a single international game with 116 points against
China to lead the Philippines to the gold medal. That record remains unbroken to this day.
On July 27, a day before the game against Iran, national team head coach
Chot Reyes submitted the final composition of the national team for the
FIBA Asia Championship 2007 , the qualifying tournament for the
2008 Olympic Basketball Tournament .
