Subject

Argentina wins the 1950 FIBA Championship

Description

Argentina's victory over the United States enhanced the international profile of basketball. The inaugural FIBA World Basketball Championship also served the anti-imperialist rhetoric of the Peronist government toward "Yanquis," but in a less overt manner than the usual accusations of political and trade disruptions from Washington D.C. toward Perón and his policies. Politics aside, news of Argentina's triumph, and the resounding success of the tournament, generated excitement among sports enthusiasts in the country. Although some would point out that the U.S. did not send its best representatives (the delegation was comprised entirely of a team based out of Denver, CO), most observers undestood Argentina's victory as a notable achievement for basketball practiced around the world.
