FIBA All-Star Games were all-star exhibition games, which were also known as "FIBA Festivals". The European selections won most of the games, with an overall record of 24-5. Besides talent, diversity was also paramount in the selection process, which aimed at allowing several different European basketball schools to be represented.
Famous quotes containing the word games:
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
