FIBA AmeriCup
The FIBA AmeriCup is the American Basketball Championship that takes place every two years between national teams of the Western Hemisphere continents. Through the 2015 edition, the Americas Championship was also a qualifying tournament for the FIBA World Cup and the Summer Olympic Games. Beginning in 2017, the championship, along with all other FIBA continental championships for men, is played once every four years, and the continental championships are no longer a part of the qualifying process for either the World Cup or Olympics.
Since FIBA organized the entire Western Hemisphere west of the Atlantic Ocean under one zone, countries from Northern America, Central America, the Caribbean and South America compete in this tournament.
The United States is the most successful team in this tournament, having won it seven times. Argentine Luis Scola, is both the all-time leading scorer in tournament history, and the player who has won the most tournament MVPs, with four.Summaries
