This is a general guide to the games of today, and shouldn't necessarily be taken as a command to watch every single game on the list. Rather, think of it as a friendly introduction to international basketball, allowing you to more easily select a game to watch that suits your viewing style from the best games available.

And it has finally begun! After some clear procrastination on my part, the FIBA World Championship has started!

Yes, I know that the FIBA Tournament has already started. But, I also do know that I made these rankings before the tournament began, and neglected to fill in the details. Then, I procrastinated....and here we are. I have no way of proving to you that I made the rankings beforehand, so you'll just have to believe me.

Lots of news has happened today, so I decided to make a short post with all of the stories and short opinions about them.

Nenad Krstic was involved in a basketball brawl yesterday during the final moments of a Greece-Serbia which served as the final of the Acropolis tournament in Greece.

Before the World Championships start in August, I figured I'd start preparing everyone by giving the lowdown on each of the teams participating in this year's tournament.
