At the XX. At the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich , a basketball competition was held. The venue was the basketball hall in Siegenburger Strasse (later Rudi-Sedlmayer-Halle, today's Audi Dome ) with 6635 seats. A pre-Olympic qualification tournament to determine the 15th and 16th teams in the field was held two weeks before the start of the group phase in the Augsburg sports hall .

For the first time in the history of Olympic basketball competitions, the representatives of the United States did not win. The coming about of the final victory is controversial to this day, as the last seconds, in which Alexander Below scored the decisive points for the Soviet team, were repeated twice. The US selection did not take part in the award ceremony in protest, and not a single US player ever accepted their silver medal.
