Malaysia men's national basketball team
The Malaysia national basketball team represents Malaysia at international basketball competitions. It is organized and run by the Malaysia Basketball Association.
The team had its prime time between 1960 and 1995 when it qualified for the FIBA Asia Championship, Asia's most prestigious basketball tournament, 18 times in a row. In 1986 it qualified for the World Cup, its most noteworthy accomplishment to date.
Petronas is the major sponsor for MABA. The women's national team has more successes internationally compared to the men's counterpart.
Outlook
In Malaysia, the sport is predominantly played by people with Chinese background, hence the majority of the national team players have Chinese names. Efforts have been made to attract other ethnicities and popularise the sport in Malaysia.Pravin Murugaiah is one of the coaches in Malaysia that has made significant impact in non Chinese basketball.
