Over two weeks of basketball!

Those worried that #basketball was over after the #nba championship can rejoice. The #fibaworldcup, not to be confused with FIFA World Cup, starts in just 42 days. During which 92 games will be played in 16 days. This is the first time #fiba will be held in China, although the famous championship has been going on for 18 years now. Many NBA players will play for their various national teams, however not every superstar will choose to play. USA is projected to win for the third time in a row, having won in both 2014 & 2010 previously.
