Olympic basketball
International court competition
Olympic basketball is basketball played at the Summer Olympic Games, featuring national teams competing for gold, silver, and bronze medals.
The tournament includes both men's and women's competitions.
The U.S. has dominated Olympic basketball since professionals were allowed in 1992.
The format differs from professional leagues, with shorter qualification rosters and FIBA rules rather than NBA rules.
