The rise of Basketball

Spreading around the world, basketball came to Brazil in 1896, at the hands of an American missionary, Auguste F. Shaw, in 1896. As a sport, however, it was only in 1912 that it was practiced for the first time in Rio de Janeiro, also in the ACM, in a small precinct in Rua Quitanda, nº 47, where two columns located in the middle of the hall disturbed "a little" the movement of the practitioners.

The Brazilian basketball has been standing out in the world scene descends 1989, when it obtained for the first time an honorable position: third classified in Olympic Games of London. Since then in our country its practice is intense and the quality of our basketball is respected internationally as one of the world powers of this sport. Our winners have already won several important titles in international championships and tournaments. Twice world champion, (Santiago in 59 and in Rio de Janeiro in 63) our selection had high level players among them Vlamir Marques, Amaury Passos and Rosa Branca. 

In the Olympics, the green and yellow team won three bronze medals: in London 1948, in Rome 1960 and in Tokyo 1964. After this phase, Brazil fell and began to fail to achieve good results in international competitions. Until that came the Oscar generation that won the Pan American Indianapolis in 1987, taking Brazil to another level, from which could face the other teams on an equal footing. But the 'Age of Oscar' that had Macel, Guerrinha and the Oscar himself came to an end and the country returned to present bad results. In the last World Cup, in 98 we bitter the 10th position and in the 94 we finished 11th. After the unforgettable team of 1987 dismounted we still can not form a team with the strength to compete in an international competition. 

Brazil is currently the leader of its division for the Olympics competition, which shocked its connoisseurs greatly by the great evolution, and remains the question is that Brazil has once again become one of the capitals of the world basketball?
