Though basketball dates back more than 120 years, it did not make
its Olympic debut until 1936. The presence of basketball at the
Berlin games that year was due in large part to the creation of the

organization of the European Championship in 1935. In the European
Championship s inaugural competition, ten teams participated; since

continent, the championship has expanded considerably. In the most
