Abstract
The analysis of the 34th European Championship in Basketball, held in Belgrade, begins with the presentation of the participants, groups, schedule of the games, venue of this great event but also with the final results. A particular review was done of the final phase together with criticism of the performance of the national team of Serbia and Montenegro. As per basketball itself, this championship recognized still its two trends: the NBA, i.e. the American one (selection, condition, technique, rules and tactics) and the "classic" European, of the same distinctions. It is pointed out that there is a drastic influence of USD BASKETBALL to EUROEAN BASKETBALL. The regret for the lack of real values is finally summarized in proposal that is high time for separation into: real, complete Basketball under its name and the NBA Industry, but certainly under its new name.
