Please get your history and geography right. What you mean to say is that Yugoslavia (3 titles) was later split into various republics, some of whom (Serbia) has won some titles (2).


oh yes you are right, russia had some from other now single states in it but yugoslawia was independent with tito.

My main point is, that they are the powerhouse and alwas favorites but not winning everything.

And USA is in Buzzerbeater not on that level of Spain and italy, never said that there basketball is in reality stronger but the strength ifrom US basketball is also connected to the popularity of the sport which wouldn't stand here.

If that is how it's decided then I don't want it to be changed. It's fair and tends to reward lively communities.

Well, getting back on topic...

The easiest solution by far would be to continue having whoever host (meaning all games are played at their arenas), but to have no HCA given to the host nation. That way, we still get to have a host (I still don't know why we care, but I'll grant that maybe it adds "flavor" to some people), but we still get to see nations compete on equal footing.

That's how costa rica got it, and I think that was the only time it worked that way.
