FIBA Stanković Cup: 2009 Continental Championship

China FlagKunshan, China - The Stanković Continental Champions’ Cup is an international basketball tournament held annually in China.

This year’s continental basketball championship features four teams: last year’s champions Angola, hosts China, Turkey and Australia.

The 2009 Stanković Cup is set for August 28-30.

I wonder how Turkey is going to participate in both the Efes Pilsen World Cup and the this tournament?  The Efes Pilsen World Cup started yesterday and is suppposed to run until August 30, while the Stanković Cup starts tomorrow, August 28.

edit: It turns out that Turkey and Angola will both send their B teams.

The tournament is in honor of Borislav Stanković, FIBA Secretary General Emeritus, for his significant contributions to the world of basketball.

This will be the fifth annual tournament.  China has never won the tournament, past champions include Lithuania (2005), Greece (2006), Slovenia (2007), and Angola (2008).

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
