The 2002 World Basketball Championship (FIBA World Championship United States 2002, in English) was the 14th edition of the World Basketball Championship. It was held in the city of Indianapolis, United States, between August 29 and September 8, 2002. It was organized by the International Basketball Federation and the American Basketball Federation. After 13 editions of the championship, the United States was chosen as the venue for the tournament with the expectation of receiving a large number of fans of the sport.

After ten days of competition, the final was played, where Yugoslavia faced Argentina. After forty minutes of regulation, the match ended tied at 75, and in extra time the European team took the victory and won their fifth title. Part of the world press pointed out that the refereeing in the final was not entirely correct, and in fact, the same referee Nikos Pitsilkas years later confessed to having made a mistake in the last play of the match by not sanctioning a foul that could have led to the game. title to the South American team.

The champion obtained a direct ticket to the Athens Olympic Games and obtained a place to participate in the official FIBA Diamond Ball 2004 tournament, which brought together the World Champion and the various current continental champions, in the style of the Confederations Cup in soccer.
