Four NBA active players are in charge! Eric Gordon is approved by FIBA to play Olympic qualifier for the Bahamas
Live broadcast on August 7, official news, Sun defender Eric Gordon officially obtained the approval of the International Basketball Federation (FIBA), will represent the Bahamas in the Americas Olympic qualifying tournament men’s basketball.
Gordon (whose mother is from the Bahamas) once participated in and won the World Championship in the United States in the 1980 s, so why could he represent the men’s basketball of the Bahamas in the international competition? The American Basketball Association agreed to release people, and the International Basketball Federation approved Gordon’s representative country change according to Article 22 of its internal regulations.
The International Basketball Federation does not allow players (after 17 years old) to compete for other national teams after representing a country in the world competition. Of course, there are exceptions to this provision: if the player wants to change the country he or she represents, he or she joins the developing basketball national team plan, and this move is considered to be in the best interests of basketball development, FIBA may amend this clause as appropriate.
The Bahamas men’s basketball has four active NBA players. In addition to Gordon, the other three are Ayton (Sun), Hilde (Walker) and Kai Jones (wasp).
This stage of the competition will be held in Santiago del Estero, Argentina from August 14 to 20. Other teams participating in the competition include Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Panama, Uruguay and the United States Virgin Islands.
