The Serbia men's national basketball team ({{langx|sr|Кошаркашка репрезентација Србије|Košarkaška reprezentacija Srbije}}) represents Serbia in international men's basketball competition, and is controlled by the Basketball Federation of Serbia. Serbia is currently ranked second in the FIBA World Ranking.{{cite news|title=FIBA WORLD RANKING|url=http://www.fiba.basketball/rankingmen|access-date=16 September 2019|work=fiba.basketball}}
From 1992 to 2003, the national team played in international tournaments under the name FR Yugoslavia, and from 2003 to 2006, under the name Serbia and Montenegro. Following Montenegro’s declaration of independence in 2006, the Basketball Federation of Serbia retained the place of the Basketball Federation of Serbia and Montenegro as a FIBA member,{{cite news|title=PR no.22: Montenegro becomes 213th FIBA Member|url=https://www.fiba.basketball/news/PR-no-22-Montenegro-becomes-213th-FIBA-Member|access-date=28 August 2006|work=fiba.basketball}} and Serbia thus officially inherited all of the preceding country's results and medals.
Serbia has often been portrayed as a basketball powerhouse.{{cite web | url=https://www.eurohoops.net/en/euroleague/1344934/watch-land-of-mvps-euroleague/ | title=Serbia, the "Land of MVPS" | date=13 May 2022 }}https://www.nba.com/watch/video/hoop-cities-belgrade With 16 members of the FIBA Hall of Fame (second most behind USA), 5 members of the Naismith’s Hall of Fame (second most behind USA) and 20% of the 50 Greatest EuroLeague Contributors, Serbian players, coaches and administrators had and continue to have a profound effect on the development of basketball in Europe and the world.
From the leader of the Silver Generation of Yugoslavian basketball (Radivoj Korać), through the most important players of the First Golden Generation (Dragan Kićanović, Dražen Dalipagić, Zoran Slavnić and Ratko Radovanović) and Second Golden Generation (Vlade Divac, Žarko Paspalj, Zoran Savić, Predrag Danilović), the successes of Serbian players continued even after the collapse of the joint state in 1991. During the international debut in 1995, strengthened by new stars of European basketball (Aleksandar Đorđević, Dejan Bodiroga, Željko Rebrača, Dejan Tomašević, Peja Stojaković and many others), Serbian national team continued where Yugoslavia stopped by winning 7 medals from 1995 to 2002 (back to back World Championships in 1998 and 2002, 3 Eurobaskets in 1995, 1997 and 2001, silver at 1996 Olympics and bronze at 1999 Eurobasket).
The production of great players continued in the 21st century with Euroleague MVPs Miloš Teodosić, Nemanja Bjelica and Vasilije Micić, along with Bogdan Bogdanović, Nenad Krstić and 3-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokić. In 2020s the new generations continue in the footsteps of their predecessors, winning titles and individual accolades in both NBA and Euroleague, simultaneously positioning the national team in second place in the FIBA ranking.
Perhaps even more than the players on the court, Serbian coaches have significantly influenced the development of basketball in Europe for almost a century. From Naismith's Hall of Famer Aleksandar Nikolić and Olympic champion Ranko Žeravica through multiple Euroleague champions Dušan Ivković, Svetislav Pešić and Božidar Maljković to Željko Obradović, the greatest coach in European basketball history and outside the NBA,[https://www.hoopsbeast.com/top-euroleague-coaches/ The Greatest EuroLeague Coaches In Modern History][https://basketnews.com/news-168577-zeljko-obradovic-why-the-greatest-european-coach-never-worked-in-nba.html Zeljko Obradovic: why the greatest European coach never worked in NBA?][https://www.talkbasket.net/27199-zeljko-obradovic-best-coach-europe-far-says-legendary-dusan-ivkovic Zeljko Obradovic is the best coach in Europe by far, says legendary Dusan Ivkovic] Serbian coaches have won a record 19 Euroleague titles, 17 out of 26 Yugoslavian medals and 13 medals with the Serbian national team at the biggest international competitions (FIBA World Cup, Eurobasket and Summer Olympics).
The four “Fathers of Yugoslav basketball” and recipients of the prestigious FIBA Order of Merit are also Serbs:https://kosmagazin.com/four-saints-serbian-basketball/ coach, journalist, commentator and founder of Crvena Zvezda basketball team Nebojša Popović, long-term president of the Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia Radomir Šaper, the aforementioned founder of the Serbian (and Yugoslav) coaching school Aleksandar Nikolić and Borislav Stanković, a Serb who probably had the greatest impact on the world of basketball. As the general secretary of FIBA Stanković is responsible for bridging the conflict between the NBA and FIBA. With the agreement between Stankovic and NBA commissioner David Stern,{{cite web | url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/23/sports/basketball/boris-stankovic-dead.html | title=Boris Stankovic, Who Paved Way for N.B.A.'s 'Dream Team,' Dies at 94 | work=The New York Times | date=23 March 2020 | last1=Stein | first1=Marc }} NBA players got the opportunity to play at the Olympics, while at the same time the first wave of European players went to the NBA. The agreement made basketball truly a global sport and directly opened the door for the continuation of American dominance on the international stage as well as the creation of a base of foreign players who will win 6 NBA MVP awards in a row and counting.
History
{{See also|Yugoslavia men's national basketball team}}
=Serbia and Montenegro=
With the start of Yugoslav Wars in 1991, and subsequent breakup of Yugoslavia, the Yugoslavia national team was disbanded. The team consisted of players selected from the population of over 23 million people, and the basketball infrastructure was evenly distributed among the six states which formed the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
In 1992, FR Yugoslavia was established as the federation of the two remaining Yugoslav republics, Serbia and Montenegro. The newly established country had less than half the population of the former country. The Basketball Federation of FR Yugoslavia became the governing body of basketball for the new country. After the adoption of UNSCR 757, the national team was suspended from participating in international tournaments. Due to these sanctions and ongoing war, the national team was prevented from participating at the 1992 Summer Olympics, EuroBasket 1993 and 1994 FIBA World Cup.
==1995–2002: Golden generation==
Without much sponsorship for the war-impoverished country, the national team made its comeback to the international scene at the EuroBasket 1995 in Greece, where it won the gold medal; after defeating Lithuania in the final. At the 1996 Summer Olympics, the team lost 69–95 to the United States in the gold-medal game. After the defeat, the national team would go on to claim the gold medal in their next two international competitions, EuroBasket 1997 and the 1998 FIBA World Cup; while winning the bronze medal at EuroBasket 1999 and reclaiming gold once again at the EuroBasket 2001.
One of the most notable wins for the Yugoslavia national team came in the quarter-finals of the 2002 FIBA World Cup, where the host nation of the tournament, the United States was eliminated 81–78.{{cite news|title=BASKETBALL; U.S. an Embarrassed Sixth as Yugoslavia Takes the Gold|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/09/sports/basketball-us-an-embarrassed-sixth-as-yugoslavia-takes-the-gold.html|access-date=8 April 2017|work=The New York Times|agency=Associated Press|date=9 September 2002}} The significance of the win was tremendous for the Serbian people in general, as the public in Serbia perceived the United States political leadership responsible for the breakup of Yugoslavia, and destruction of the country's infrastructure; as well as civil victims during the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.{{cite news|title=Jugoslavija pobedila 'Dream team'|url=http://www.b92.net/info/vesti/index.php?yyyy=2002&mm=09&dd=06&nav_category=15&nav_id=69364|access-date=8 April 2017|work=b92.net|agency=Beta|date=6 September 2002|language=sr}} Thereafter, the Yugoslavia national team went on to win the competition, by defeating New Zealand in the semi-finals and Argentina in the final 84–77 in OT to win the gold medal.
==2003–2006: Underwhelming results==
In 2002, FR Yugoslavia consisted of the states of Serbia and Montenegro. The merged nations came to a new agreement regarding continued co-operation, which, among other changes, promised the end of the name Yugoslavia. On 4 February 2003, the federal assembly of Yugoslavia created a loose state union—the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. The following years were underwhelming as the national team failed to make the podium at international tournaments, after decades of winning medals.
At the EuroBasket 2003, the team came in sixth place, but due to their world champion status, were automatically qualified for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Greece.
Entering 2004, the national team participated in the less important Diamond Ball tournament, prior to the 2004 Olympic Games where they won the gold medal. Although the team was unable to carry over the momentum heading into the Olympics, and were eliminated in the group stage with a (1–4) record, finishing in 11th place.
After two consecutive tournament disappointments, hopes of getting back on the podium returned for the EuroBasket 2005 where Serbia and Montenegro was the host nation. Heading into the tournament, Željko Obradović was brought back for a second stint as head coach of the national team. However, they were eliminated in the play-off stage by France 74–71, and finished in ninth place. After the tournament, Obradović stepped down, and blamed a bad atmosphere among the team's star players for the failure. The team then participated at the 2006 FIBA World Cup on a wild card, due to the results in the past on the initiative by FIBA prominent administrator Borislav Stanković. Although the national team of Serbia and Montenegro came up short once again, with another ninth-place finish.
On 21 May 2006, Montenegrins voted in an independence referendum, with 55.5% supporting independence. The subsequent Montenegrin proclamation of independence in June 2006 and the Serbian proclamation of independence on 5 June ended the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro and thus the last remaining vestiges of the former Yugoslavia.

==2006–2009==
Following the dissolution of the state union of Serbia and Montenegro, the national team participated at the EuroBasket 2007. There, the team finished the competition failing to make it out of the group stage after three close losses. The result failed to qualify the team for the 2008 Summer Olympics, which was their first time missing the Olympic tournament after missing it in 1992 due to suspension.
In December 2007, the legendary Dušan Ivković hinted that he would take the helm as head coach of the national team.{{cite news |last1=Preradović |first1=V. |title=Ivković selektor |url=http://www.novosti.rs/vesti/sport.72.html:207338-Ivkovic-selektor |access-date=14 September 2019 |work=Večernje novosti |date=20 December 2007 |language=sr}}
==2009–2013: Flashes of old glory==

Under Ivković's coaching, a new generation of players led by Nenad Krstić and Miloš Teodosić returned some of the old glory by taking the silver medal at Eurobasket 2009. At the 2010 FIBA World Cup, after narrowly defeating Croatia in the Round of 16, Miloš Teodosić hit a deep three-point shot to upset the favourites of the tournament Spain in the quarter-finals.{{cite news |last1=Stojsavljević |first1=Vojislav |title=TURSKA 2010: Povratak Srbije u elitu, SAD konačno do zlata |url=https://www.danas.rs/sport/mundobasket/turska-2010-povratak-srbije-u-elitu-sad-konacno-do-zlata/ |access-date=14 September 2019 |work=Danas (newspaper) |date=30 August 2019 |language=sr}} Entering the semis, Serbia would come up short, after a controversial referee's error to the tournament's host Turkey 83–82. With the youngest team in the competition, Serbia eventually finished in fourth place after losing to Lithuania 99–88 in the bronze-medal game.{{cite web|title=Duda otpisao Milosavljevića|url=http://www.b92.net/sport/kosarka/vesti.php?yyyy=2010&mm=08&dd=25&nav_id=454142|work=B92.net| date=25 August 2010 |publisher=BETA|access-date=6 August 2012|language=sr}}
At the EuroBasket 2011, the team failed to reach the semi-finals, finishing the tournament in eighth place; thus failing to qualify for the 2012 Summer Olympics. At the EuroBasket 2013, the team was once again eliminated in the quarter-finals and finished in seventh place.
==2013–2019: Silver generation==

Following the EuroBasket 2013, Ivković stepped away from the position, and Serbian basketball hall of famer Aleksandar Đorđević stepped into his place.{{cite news |last1=Ranković |first1=Rade |title=Đorđević preuzeo reprezentaciju |url=https://www.glasamerike.net/a/sale-djordjevic-predstavljen-kao-selektor-reprezentacije/1817523.html |access-date=14 September 2019 |work=glasamerike.net |date=25 December 2013 |language=sr}}
Đorđević led the team to the silver medal at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, where they lost in the final to the United States.{{cite web|title=Srbija srebrna, 'vanzemaljci' Ameri šampioni|url=http://www.b92.net/sport/spanija2014/vesti.php?yyyy=2014&mm=09&dd=14&nav_id=899752|work=B92.net| date=14 September 2014 |publisher=BETA|access-date=15 September 2014|language=sr}}{{cite web|title=Serbia at the 2014 FIBA World Cup|url=https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2014/Serbia|access-date=14 September 2014}} At the EuroBasket 2015, Serbia finished in fourth place, with their only tournament loses coming in the semi-finals to Lithuania and in the bronze-medal game to France.

After winning the 2016 Olympic Qualifying Tournament held in Belgrade, the national team won the silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, losing in the final to the United States.{{cite web|title=Serbia at the 2016 Olympic Qualifying Tournament|url=https://www.fiba.basketball/oqt/serbia/2016/Serbia|access-date=9 July 2016}}{{cite web|title=Serbia at the 2016 men's Olympic Basketball Tournament|url=https://www.fiba.basketball/olympics/2016/Serbia|access-date=21 August 2016}}
With the absence of team captains Miloš Teodosić, and Nikola Jokić, rising star Bogdan Bogdanović emerged as team leader at the EuroBasket 2017. The national team went on to earn their third silver medal in four years, after falling to a Goran Dragić-led Slovenia 93–85 in the final.{{cite web|title=Serbia at the EuroBasket 2017|url=http://www.fiba.basketball/eurobasket/2017/Serbia|access-date=17 September 2017}}
Facing a different qualification system introduced by FIBA for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, the national team was forced to play without their key players in nearly all of their qualification matches. However, they narrowly secured the last spot for the World Cup in their second round qualification group.{{cite web|title=Serbia during the 2019 FIBA World Cup European Qualifiers|url=https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2019/european-qualifiers/team/Serbia|access-date=24 February 2019}} Prior the World Cup, Serbia was dubbed as one of the favourites to win the tournament;{{cite news |last1=Curkovic |first1=Igor |title=FIBA Basketball World Cup Power Rankings, Volume 3 |url=http://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2019/news/fiba-basketball-world-cup-power-rankings-volume-3 |access-date=14 September 2019 |work=fiba.basketball |date=28 August 2019}} but was eventually defeated in the quarter-finals by Argentina.{{cite news |title=Argentina upsets Olympic silver medalist Serbia in FIBA World Cup quarterfinals |url=https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2019/09/10/argentina-serbia-fiba-world-cup/ |access-date=14 September 2019 |work=nbcsports.com |date=10 September 2019}} With the team relegated to the classification phase, they would pick up wins against the United States and Czech Republic to finish in fifth place.{{cite news |title=Serbia defeats USA in FIBA World Cup consolation round play |url=https://www.nba.com/article/2019/09/12/fiba-world-cup-usa-serbia-game-recap |access-date=14 September 2019 |publisher=National Basketball Association |date=12 September 2019}}{{cite news |last1=T. |first1=P. |title=Bogdanović ponovo briljirao – Srbiji peto mesto u Kini |url=https://www.b92.net/sport/kina2019/vesti.php?nav_id=1591176 |access-date=14 September 2019 |date=14 September 2019 |language=sr}}{{cite web|title=Serbia at the 2019 FIBA World Cup|url=https://www.fiba.basketball/basketballworldcup/2019/team/Serbia|access-date=14 September 2019}} After the tournament, head coach Đorđević announced his decision to leave the position after six years.{{cite news |last1=T. |first1=P. |title=Đorđević više nije selektor Srbije! |url=https://www.b92.net/sport/kina2019/vesti.php?nav_id=1591234 |access-date=14 September 2019 |work=b92.net |date=14 September 2019 |language=sr}}
