The FIBA World Championship is an international basketball competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been held every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1950, except for two occasions.

The tournament structure is similar, but not identical, to that of the FIFA World Cup; both of these international competitions have been played in the same year since 1970. A parallel event for women's teams, the FIBA World Championship for Women, is also held quadrennially, in the same year as the men's event, but in a different country. The current format of the tournament involves 24 teams competing for the title at venues within the host nation. The winning team receives the Naismith Trophy, first awarded in 1967. The current champions are the United States, who defeated Turkey in the final of the 2010 tournament.

2010 FIBA World Championship Quarter Finals Serbia vs Spain Serbia knocks Spain out of Worlds Milos Teodosic drilled a long three-pointer with 3.1 seconds remaining to lift Serbia to a 92-89 victory over Spain in the quarterfinals of the 2010 FIBA World Championship. Spain trailed throughout most of the fourth quarter, but tied it at 89-89 on a dunk by Marc Gasol with 25.8 seconds to play. After the Serbs called timeout, Teodosic worked his way free well beyond the top of the key with time running out and connected on a shot from about 27 feet. The Spaniards turned the ball over on the ensuing inbounds play, sending the Serbs into Saturday's semifinals against the winner of Wednesday's second game between Turkey and Slovenia.
