'''[[Basketball]]''' has been played consistently at the '''[[Summer Olympic Games]]''' since 1936, with demonstration events in 1904 and 1924. The [[United States men's national basketball team|United States]] won all of the gold medals in the men's competition from 1936-1968.

Winning the Olympics is considered to be the highest honour in international basketball, followed by the World Championships of the [[International Basketball Federation]] (FIBA) for [[FIBA World Championship|men]] and [[FIBA World Championship for Women|women]] and the respective intercontinental championships.

==History==
[[Basketball]] was invented by the [[Canadian-American]] [[James Naismith]] in [[Springfield, Massachusetts]], [[United States]] in 1891. The new game became popular throughout the United States as an indoor spectator sport; the popularity spread overseas and the [[International Basketball Federation]] (FIBA) was organized in 1932 in [[Geneva]], [[Switzerland]].

FIBA organized the first Olympic basketball tournament in the [[1936 Summer Olympics]] at [[Berlin]] as an outdoor tournament; Naismith presented the medals. In keeping up with the Olympic tradition, all competitors were amateurs, and FIBA debuted the indoor game on [[1948 Summer Olympics|1948]]. The [[United States men's national basketball team|Americans]] proved their dominance winning all of the Olympic tournaments until the [[1972 Summer Olympics]] when the [[Soviet Union national basketball team|Soviet Union]] beat them in gold-medal game in highly controversial circumstances; the Americans refused to receive their silver medals and the IOC still possesses them.

The Americans reclaimed the gold in [[1976 Summer Olympics|1976]] but with the [[1980 Summer Olympics boycott]], the [[Yugoslavia national basketball team|Yugoslavs]] became the first team coming outside the U.S. or the USSR to win the title after beating the Soviets in the semifinals. The Yugoslavs would later lose their gold medal to the Americans in the [[1984 Summer Olympics]], with the Soviets [[1984 Summer Olympics boycott|boycotting]]. In [[1988 Summer Olympics|1988]], with the Americans sending in a young team, the Soviets reclaimed the gold medal, beating the Yugoslavs in the gold medal game.

In 1989, FIBA through the leadership of [[Borislav Stanković]], approved the rule in which professionals were allowed to compete in international tournaments, including the Olympics. In the next Olympics, the United States debuted their "Dream Team" and won the gold medal without calling a time out. Their new-found dominance ended in [[2004 Summer Olympics]] in which they were beaten in the semifinals by [[Argentina national basketball team|Argentina]] enroute to their first gold medal. However, in 2008, the United States defeated Spain to reclaim Olympic gold, and their first in any major international tournament since the 2000 Olympics.
==Venues==
All venues were indoor stadiums except for the 1936 tournament which was held outdoors on tennis courts.
