Wikipedia - DR Congo men's national basketball team
The DR Congo national basketball team (French: Équipe nationale de basketball de Congo DR) represents DR Congo in men's international basketball competitions, it is controlled by the Basketball Federation of Democratic Republic of Congo. (French: République démocratique du Congo Fédération de basket-ball)
The team has appeared in the FIBA Africa Championship, but has yet to appear in the FIBA World Championship. Its biggest success to date was the Final Four placement at the 1975 FIBA Africa Championship when it competed as Zaire.
History
DR Congo joined the FIBA in 1963 and made their first tournament debut twelve years later, during the 1974 AfroBasket. In the following year, they played in the 1975 AfroBasket championship. Congo ended in the fourth place after a 2–3 record. After a 6th place in 1980, the team missed the tournament for the next 27 years.
During AfroBasket 2007, DR Congo returned and finished 15th.
After another 10-year absence, the country played in the AfroBasket 2017 where they reached the quarter-finals after upsetting Nigeria in the group phase.
In August 2022, Jonathan Kuminga joined the Congolese team to become the first National Basketball Association (NBA) player to play for the national team. Kuminga had just won his first NBA championship with the Golden State Warriors.
Congos landslag i basket anses generellt sett vara en av de starkare i Afrika. Laget har nått finalrundan i afrikanska mästerskapen flera gånger och vann titeln 1975. Congo har också deltagit i FIBA-världsmästerskapen och OS flera gånger.
Lagets nuvarande stjärnspelare inkluderar Jonathan Kuminga, som spelar för Golden State Warriors i NBA. Kuminga var en del av Congos lag som nådde finalen i afrikanska mästerskapen 2021.
Congo förbereder sig för närvarande för FIBA-världsmästerskapet 2023, där de hoppas kunna göra ett starkt intryck och representera Afrika väl.
