greatest thing of the FWC was finding this channel. great coverage lads

As a german I cant't believe we won the world cup. I mean it's 4 years after we crashed out in the group stage. We only ever made a semifinal once and that was over 20 years ago. It feels so incredibly surreal that germany won

Im genuinely surprised about the sportsmanship within the basketball community. So many Serbians are congratulating Germany. I guess I'm a little bit too accustomed to the nasty banter in football. This here is a breath of fresh air. It was a great final, both teams deserved it.

As a Serbian living in Germany it was my dream final becoming true. I watched Germany last year against France in Cologne at the EuroBasket and I was positively surprised how well the Germans played against the French. Their energy as a team. I knew that the game against Germany would be very difficult for Serbia to win. The luck was on Germany's side and they absolutely deserved the win and the title. Congratulations to Germany and enjoy every moment.

Congratulations to Germany, Serbia and Canada! 🏀💖

Congrats to Germany. Proud of my 🇷🇸

This is huge for basketball in Germany.

I’m just happy we got our Latvia v Lithuania match , too bad it wasn’t the full tournament finals

As a Latvian i'm disappointed you didn't bring up the 5th-6th place game! :) The Baltic derby if you will!

Team Latvia made me so very proud and was also the greatest surprise.

Congrats to Germany on the win, thank you to this Serbia squad for their effort and performance throughout the tournament, and congrats to this channel for providing the best coverage of this world cup.

That Bridges 3 to take it to OT is the craziest thing I have seen in the whole tournament. Say what you want about the US team but they were not boring

Germany had me standing every second half bro these games where crazy……

As a Canadian basketball fan this World Cup was such a fun time. Best basketball I have seen in a while and seeing just how much the game and talent has grown around the world was a treat. Looking at following the EuroLeague in the upcoming season and was wondering if you have any plans to do a team breakdown for the upcoming season? Love the channel and the work you do!

As a Canadian we aren’t as exposed to Fiba, Euroleague or EuroBasket. Im glad to have found this channel cus im more in tune with basketball on an global level, not just North America.

I just wanted to leave a big thank you from Germany to you guys from Lithuania! I was following your Euroleague content for a while and I love it that you really dig deep into European basketball! Your coverage of the World Cup was even on the next level! Great to have such an amazing European Basketball Family! You´ve become my favorite Basketball channel!

I'll tip my hats to the hosts who did a great job organzing 🇯🇵🇲🇨🇵🇭. Watching the games at the Mall of Asia Arena live was pretty fun. Definitely the highlight for me is watching lithuania beat team usa live. Looking forward to the Euroleague coverage. I just need to find someplace to watch it here in the Philippines 😅

So awesome, that Porzingis was in town even though he couldnt play.

This channel is truly a gem. I like the narrative and deep but easily understandable analysis. Surely it's going to gather lovely basketball comunity. Great work, guys! Massive congratulations from Serbia to Germany, well deserved title, but I'd like to congratulate every team for being a part of this tournament. We all share the same love for this beautiful game.

And ☝️MORE THING !!! SERBIA - LITHUANIA It may not be a European classic. IT IS THE BIGGEST EUROPEAN CLASSIC IN BASKETBALL IN EUROPE. Both nations see basketball as a national sport, both nations have their own recognizable school of basketball (along with the Americans, they are the only 3 schools of basketball in the world. All the others arose from those 3 schools) It's the derby of European basketball. I know for A fact, that Belgrade clubs really appreciate Žalgiris. They are 2 POWERHOUSES IN EUROPEAN BASKETBALL All in all, AS USUAL GREAT VIDEO AND AS USUAL THUMBS UP FROM ME

Thank God you did not embarrass yourself mentioning the game between Latvia and Lithuania :D

thanks for showing that last clip of Brooks, he plays the villain on the court but he's really a great guy outside of basketball. Respect from Canada

Why are you not even mentioning the Latvia vs Spain game ? Latvia upsetting the reigning Champs seems more important than some of the other games you talked about

This is such a great Roundup of the World Cup. The video that this tournament deserved. Also, discovering your channel has been one of the best parts of following this FIBA WC. Love from India✨

overall it was a great fiba world cup i enjoyed watching all the games. i stopped watching local basketball and nba.. but with this fiba,.I was interested again. also my favorite team was serbia.

had watched nba with my dad when I was a kid, then didn't care for basketball at all for over 15 years and now my country won and I found this channel when fiba groups just finished and had a lot of fun watching all the highlights here. looks like I should start watching some basketball again ;D

Was really rooting for Latvia all tournament, they really could have went on to win it all if bertans hits that 3 in the last 3 seconds against germany

Boy, I bet Austin Reaves bites his ass that he rejected the invitation to play for Germany 😂😂😂

Best World Cup ever. In terms of competitiveness, this year's tournament showed how much basketball has grown on a global stage. Unpredictability and quality at its finest. Asia and Africa have some catching up to do, though, but Japan and South Sudan showed we're on the right track.

Great recap. Thanks from 🇨🇦

This has been an amazing tournament. First time I really got into international basketball, before I just usually watch some highlights. This channel's coverage really elevated the FIBA experience. Kudos!

Easily the best coverage of the tournament. Thanks from Canada. Will watch to see if you cover NBA, OKC.

Thanks for your videos, it was my go to channel for this FIBA tournament. And on the Philippine coach, lessons learned for Philippine team to take the selection of players and coaching staff to the highest level bec this sport is very much loved here and we deserve only the best.

This has been a world tournament like no other. Whatever was your preference it was there Drama, excitement and above all quality basketball. You were able to put this all together for the neutral fan. hats of to you and your colleagues!!

Thanks for great coverage and commentary of the world cup. Very professional! I might even tune in a bit for the Euroleague season now when Kemba is playing :)

Love your channel and watched about 90% of all the games. I cannot tell you how much joy and happiness I feel being German and having had taken my nephew of under 3 years to one preparation game of team Germany. We both witnessed history in the making. And talking about history, I love that in this video you use mac Miller instrumentals. 5 year anniversary of his demise :( may he rest in peace

I keep watching this video. I loved this world cup aswell as this channel. Great stuff. Greetings from Chile.

Thank you guys so much! Love FIBA basketball

as a german i went into the worldcup hoping for gold from the get go. last year just spain was better, and lorenzo brown did everything for them. in abu dhabi we saw that we could beat USA and canada so it was on our team to grind through the hard match ups. but if you saw last years Euro Basket, you are not surprised by germany winning it all 🗺🏆

Great report. Thanks! International basketball has improved so much in the last 20 years. So many good players and teams

You guys have covered this tournament super well. Thanks for all the great content and hard work, I'm a big fan of your channel.

You guys did amazing. Subscribed for sure

Thank you. That's a great recap and summary.

Amazing summary! Thanks for this!

Loved your coverage of the tourney, I watched every video. Keep it up!

You guys are doing a great job. This is my favortite youtube channel. Thanks for the great work. I play on a professional level and I have to say you are doing a good job with your coverage of the euroleague and the fiba tournaments! I appreciate you

Thank you for the work. Top

Great summary. Thank you for your work.

Great job!! Love from Greece

many thanks for the great coverage during the tournament. Loved it. When you predicted Germany as a contender before the tournament i did'nt buy it at first, i only saw them among the last 8. As we all know you were right, keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany.

Thx, great footage

Once again great work by you guys during the wc

Thanks for the coverage bros 🎉 Enjoyed every single video 💯

You definitely got my sub for that awesome coverage from you! Greetings from the World Champions Germany ❤️

Great job basket news! hope you grow fast, well deserved for premium content! keep it up

Dude I made so much money betting on Germany every game. For me it was obvious that they their time has come to win it.

Hey mate!! It's such a great video to just enjoy the whole FiBa-world cup again, I really enjoyed the ride! As a German I still think it's ridiculous to see our squad as World Champions, but I'm really happy of course. Germany vs. Lithuania would have been my dream final, but it shouldn't have been (yet?), though you definitely got a new sub. Looing forward to other content in the future. Otherwise the Olympics are coming next year, that will be a Basketball festival again!

Basketball is not the same as it was for 15 years. The game developped further in Europe. The efficiency is better as in USA. A few coaches influenced the German basketball. Svetislav Pesic and now Gordon Herbert brought a lot of experience to Germany. Thanks for that. Thumbs up for BasketNews!

Just wanted to appreciate the video. Very well made. Liked and subscribed!

Insane coverage!! :)

great work, love it!

Congratulations to all the teams involved. It is great seeing the progress all the teams worldwide have taken over the decades. Truly it is gearing closer to being an international sport and a good companion to the football World Cup. The Americans tried hard and let’s remember these are multimillionaires who took time in their summer to represent their country out of patriotism.

Very nice coverage from you guys! Big ups! ❤

I’m just glad Philippines beat China 😂

This channel is like my new fave because of fiba! Great work boys!

Thanks, man. I only watched the german games, but i missed out on some key moments. Next WC i def need to watch more games

thanks for recapping the world cup! been a pleasure watching, yall are great

Great recap!

Awesome job guys! Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰!

Fantastic work you did with this FIBA WC2023 summary. Liked and Shared! ❤👍

Great Recap

Fiba outdid itself w/ a fantastic world cup event. Kudos to the hosts!

Greetings from CABO VERDE ISLANDS🤩🤩🤩 Great Job! Btw I am a Cousin of 2 of CV Players that were on FIBA Cup. Also since Years I am a BIG Fan of Lithuania Basketball because the way you Play the Game. Keep Up the Good Work😀

We need a World Cup every year!😆 that tournament was so exciting!😃😄🏀🔥

Nice video as always❤️💪🏼

I predicted US to finish with a bronze, but I can honestly say that was my only prediction for this tournament. I definitely didn't see Germany reaching the Final, never mind winning it.

Watching this tournament live here in Manila was a joy to watch. I'll never forget these moments. Hope my fellow Filipinos change their perspective of the game after this tournament.

These guys literally posted a video 2 weeks ago saying Germany was a dark horse favorite of them, and they humbly say it was impossible to predict!

What a tournament. Very entertaining to watch!

A lot of stuff happened during this tournament like it's a soap opera or like a series in netflix.

Good recap. 👍

The MVP of RU-vid is you. Congratulions from Portugal 🇵🇹

The greatest breakdown of all time

It was a really nice tournament, worldcup is always special and great to advertise basketball in football countries.

Great summary! I think you captured the tournament well in a video less than 30 mins!

Amazing recap

Nice recap!
