High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Russian national basketball team represents Russia in international basketball matches. The team came into existence after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and its powerful basketball team. The team has won 2 silver medals in the FIBA World Championships. Their most recent success was winning gold at EuroBasket 2007 in Spain. The FIBA World Championship is a world basketball tournament for men's national teams that is held quadrennially by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). The World Championship gold medal is considered to be just as prestigious as the Olympic Basketball Tournament gold medal. The champion team wins the Naismith Trophy, which was first awarded in the 1967 tournament. The tournament structure is similar, but not identical to that of the FIFA World Cup; both of these international competitions have been played in the same year since 1970. A parallel event for women's teams, the FIBA World Championship for Women, is also held quadrennially, in the same year as the men's event, but in a different country.
