Description

The Croatia national basketball team (Croatian: Hrvatska košarkaška reprezentacija) represents Croatia in international basketball competition and is controlled by the Croatian Basketball Federation. Croatia is currently ranked fourteenth in the FIBA World Rankings.

The biggest success Croatia has achieved was at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics when the team reached the finals against the United States and won the silver medal. Croatia has also won one bronze medal at the FIBA World Cup and two bronze medals at EuroBasket.

Croatia's Krešimir Ćosić, Dražen Petrović, Dino Rađa and Mirko Novosel are members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Ćosić being inducted in 1996 as a player, Petrović in 2002 and Rađa in 2018 also as players, and Novosel in 2007 as a coach. Petrović, Ćosić, Kukoč and Novosel are members of the FIBA Hall of Fame. Ćosić is also the only Croatian to have received the FIBA Order of Merit. Ćosić, however, never played for the Croatian national team, he was a member of the Yugoslavia national basketball team holding the record for number of medals (including Olyimpic gold) and the most games played by a player.
