    btw what will be the point to play in eurobasket2017 for the nba players? let say you win gold and getting nothing for it? best players will play in 2019 world cup and 2020 Olympics and only young and unproven players in eurobaskets 2017,2021...
    In 2013 there was also no big point either, cause nobody really cared for qualifyin' to World Cup, so huge number of top players missed the tournament. If I understood correctly from judasmartel posted last pic (I didn't see it before somehow), two best teams in 2017 will get direct ticket to Olympic qualifiers, it's already more than it was with qualification to previous World champs

But this when money begin to talk...Teams that do not make qualification tournament,should not even have right to host such tournaments,but ofcourse fiba will let,because they will get very good money...always countries like russia,turkey will be glad to pay that money...
      Exactly. Call it unfair all you want, but what would you want, then, the OG filled with EU teams and not much representation from Asia (excluding AUS and NZL) and Africa?

      We will not be able to close the talent gap unless we get enough tickets to the world-level tourneys, you know. At least we Asian teams only need to vie for 5 spots in the WC (excluding AUS and NZL since they will top Asia-Pacific anyway), so one outright ticket to the Olympics is fair enough for us since IOC is adamant at keeping its 12-team tourney when a 16-team tourney (3 each from Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, 2 from Africa, 1 host, no wild cards) could benefit everyone better.

        Lol at qualification system for the WC , none of the major stars will be available , NBA teams will not let their players to take the part in the qualifiers, neither will European clubs let their players as well . FIBA is a joke, they are trying so hard to be like Fifa , but its just impossible , bunch of idiots ruining game of basketball.

          Euroleague doesnt have the leverage to ban their players from playing in qualifiqations.Let alone the fact that i dont think eurolegue as we know it will even exist by then.Concerning NBA there is a huge issue though,and it's just unfair to countries that rely on NBA players.Imagine France with 7-8 players playing there.They would have to use europe based players but why would these players be excited to play in qualifiqtions if they know that NBA stars will take their place in the major tournament.A mess.
