The
Puerto Rico national basketball team
(
Spanish
:
Seleccion de Baloncesto de Puerto Rico
) represents
Puerto Rico
in men's international
basketball
competitions, it is governed by the
Puerto Rican Basketball Federation
(Spanish:
Federacion de Baloncesto de Puerto Rico
), The team represents both
FIBA
and
FIBA Americas
.
Since joining
FIBA
in 1957, the Puerto Rican national team has been mostly composed by Puerto Rican-born players and players of
Puerto Rican descent born in the United States
such as
Raymond Gause
,
Rick Apodaca
,
Georgie Torres
,
Hector Blondet
,
Renaldo Balkman
,
Ramon Clemente
,
Maurice Harkless
,
Tyler Davis
and many others.
History
[
edit
]
The
Puerto Rican Basketball Federation
joined
FIBA
in 1957. Puerto Rico has participated in nine
Olympics
and
12
World Championships
, although they have never won a medal at either competition.
Early years
[
edit
]
Puerto Rico
's first appearance at a World Championship was in
1959
in Chile, where, led by
Juan Vicens
, who averaged 22 points per game, the team finished 5th with a record of 3?6. In
1963
, at Puerto Rico's second World Championship appearance which took place in
Brazil
, the team, led by
Rafael Valle
and
Juan Vicens
, opened the tournament winning two straight games. Yet, after losing other six games back to back, ended its participation with a win over
Italy
, obtaining the 6th place.
Coming back from its 13th place debut at the
1960 Olympics
in Rome, in
1964
in Tokyo, the team was able to reach 4th place, in good part because of the contributions of point guard
Juan Vicens
. This was, and still is as of 2016, the highest place it has ever reached since the team's birth at any Olympic Games.
[2]
Three years later in
Uruguay
, at the
1967 World Championship
, the team, led this time by
Raymond Dalmau
, was only able to finish 12th, ending the decade with a 9th place at the
1968 Olympics
in Mexico City.
Before the 1970s, regardless of the non-remarkable performance at world international tournaments, Puerto Rico started to emerge as a power player at regional tournaments, medaling in all the competitions it participated (the
Pan American Games
, the
CentroBasket tournament
and the
Central American and Caribbean Games
). The medal count included two golds at the
1962
and the
1966
Central American and Caribbean Games, failing to medal only at the
1967 Pan American Games
, where it finished 5th.
1970s
[
edit
]
The 1970s brought some memorable moments for the team, particularly a dramatic one-point loss to the
United States
at the
1976 Olympics
in
Montreal
,
[2]
where a win by Puerto Rico would have been the first undisputed basketball loss for the United States team at an Olympic competition. Also, the
1974 World Championship
and the
1979 Pan American Games
were held in
San Juan
, promoting local enthusiasm for international basketball and Puerto Rico's presence in it. The 7th and 10th places at the
1974
and
1978
World Championships, where the team, led by
Hector Blondet
and
Ruben Rodriguez
respectively, saw 2?5 and 4?3 finishes, became turning points for the Puerto Rican team. The 4?3 showing in 1978 in the
Philippines
was the first time ever the team finished with a positive record at a World Championship. These achievements were accompanied by golds at the
1973 Centrobasket
and the
1978 Central American and Caribbean Games
. In all, Puerto Rico continued its regional success and was able to medal in all regional competitions.
1980s
[
edit
]
The 1980s were very good for the team,
[2]
attaining gold at two of the first four
FIBA Americas Championships
in
1980
and
1989
, and at the
1985
,
1987
and
1989
CentroBasket tournaments. The silver medal at the
1988 Americas Championship
held in
Montevideo, Uruguay
, secured the team's first Olympic participation since 1976.
[3]
Having qualified and earned the right to participate, the Puerto Rican team chose not to do so at the
1980 Olympic Games
, held in Moscow, due to the
American boycott
of that competition (being an autonomous nation sportswise, the team could have participated, but decided to respect the boycott instead). It wouldn't participate either at the
1984 Olympic Games
, held in Los Angeles, because the team failed to qualify for it. Twelve years after its last Olympic showing, Puerto Rico was able to advance to the second round and finished 7th at the
1988 Olympic Games
, held in
Seoul
. Two years earlier, at the
1986 World Championshipat
in Spain, Puerto Rico's performance granted it the 10th place, having failed to qualify for the
1982 Championship
in Colombia.
1990s
[
edit
]
During the 1990s, the team's successes continued as usual. Led by
Jose Ortiz
,
Ramon Rivas
,
Jerome Mincy
,
Fico Lopez
, and Edgar Leon.
[2]
the decade began with a 4th-place finish at the
1990 World Championship
in Argentina. This is Puerto Rico's best showing at a World Championship so far, defeating teams such as
Yugoslavia
,
Argentina
and the
United States
, but losing to the
USSR
and then, losing by two points the rematch in overtime to the US. In 1991, led by
Raymond Gause
, besides earning gold at the
CentroBasket tournament
, the team also won, for the first time in basketball, the gold medal at the
Pan American Games
,
[4]
which were held in
Cuba
. The team also qualified for the
1992 Olympics
in Barcelona, where it reached the second round, losing to the US in its first game of the elimination round, finishing at the end in 8th place. In 1993, Puerto Rico signed its Caribbean supremacy at this sport by winning gold at both the
CentroBasket
and the
Central American and Caribbean Games
. This victory at CentroBasket was the last of a 5 gold medal streak at the tournament. In 1994, the team finished in a 6th place at the
World Championship
in Canada, but won the gold at the
1994 Goodwill Games
in
St. Petersburg, Russia
, defeating teams such as
Croatia
,
Russia
,
Brazil
and
Italy
. It was then when Puerto Rico began to be classified as one of the top 10 international teams. Having won gold in 1995 at the
FIBA Americas Pre-Olympic Championship
, in 1996 at the
Olympic Games
, the team placed 10th in
Atlanta
, while in 1998, it placed 11th at the
World Championship
in Greece.
In 1994, Puerto Rico's national basketball team won the gold medal at the
1994 Goodwill Games
in Russia, beating Italy, 94?80, in the gold medal game.
[5]
2000?2004
[
edit
]
This Olympic cycle did not go well for the team at the International level, although it did have great moments and it performed well at the local level. Having failed to qualify for the
2000 Olympics
in
Sydney, Australia
with its 4th place at the
1999 Tournament of the Americas
hosted in
San Juan, Puerto Rico
, in 2001 the team was able to recover its
CentroBasket
title, with a triumph in
Mexico
. Later that year, the team repeated its 4th place at the
2001 FIBA Americas tournament
in Argentina.
In 2002, the team had a strong showing at the
World Championship
held in
Indianapolis, USA
. The team beat the top 3
European
teams at the time; eventual champion
Yugoslavia
,
Turkey
and
Spain
. Puerto Rico, with a 5?1 record entering the quarterfinals, lost its chance to get into the medals round only by a dramatic 2-points loss to
New Zealand
, eventually placing 7th. It is worth mentioning that
Carlos Arroyo
debuted at this tournament.
In 2003, the team also won gold at the
CentroBasket tournament
, held in
Mexico
, but was only able to achieve the bronze medal at the
Tournament of the Americas
and the
Pan American Games
. Reaching its 16th final at the CentroBasket tournament, Puerto Rico conquered the silver medal at the
2004 CentroBasket tournament
, losing to the host
Dominican Republic
, 75?74, in the championship game.
On 15 August 2004, at the
2004 Summer Olympics
in Athens, the Puerto Rico National Basketball Team became the second team in history to defeat the
United States Olympic basketball team
, recording only the third loss in an Olympic competition for the U.S. team, and the first since
NBA
players were allowed to compete. The 92?73 outcome of that game is, as of 2016, the most lopsided victory against the U.S. (collegiate or NBA players) in the history of Olympic basketball. The other team to defeat the U.S. had been the
Soviet Union
at the
1972 gold medal game
(the outcome of which is still disputed) and the
1988 semifinals
.
2005?2008
[
edit
]
In 2005, Puerto Rico was invited to play at the
2005 Stankovi? Continental Champions' Cup
in Beijing, where it lost all five games and ended up finishing in 6th place. Still, having failed to qualify directly to the
2006 World Championship
by achieving a 7th place at the
2005 FIBA Americas Championship
in
Santo Domingo
, due to its great tradition, in November 2005, Puerto Rico received an invitation to participate in the World tournament as a wildcard, along with
Italy
,
Serbia and Montenegro
and
Turkey
. En route to the World Championship, Puerto Rico won bronze at the
2006 Centrobasket
, losing the automatic classification to the
2008 tournament
, but recovering in time to earn gold at the
2006 Central American and Caribbean Games
. Later, at the
group play
stage of the 2006 World Championship, which was contested in Japan, Puerto Rico started with victories over
Senegal
and
China
, but lost ties against the
United States
,
Italy
and
Slovenia
. The application of a second
tiebreaker
by points differential to Slovenia, China and Puerto Rico, each with a
winning percentage
of .400, placed Puerto Rico fifth in
Group D
, preventing the team from advancing to the
knockout round
for the first time since 1986; Puerto Rico ultimately placed 17th out of twenty-four, that being its shyest performance in a long time. The following year began with Puerto Rico earning its fifth silver medal at the
2007 Pan American Games
, followed by the team's first participation in a
CaribeBasket
[6]
tournament, debuting against
Trinidad & Tobago
. Although the team didn't have the participation of
Daniel Santiago
or
Rick Apodaca
, Puerto Rico won the tournament undefeated, which meant its classification to the
2008 Centrobasket
tournament. Later that year, Puerto Rico started to host an exhibition tournament called the
Marchand Continental Championship Cup
in order to prepare for the
2007 FIBA Americas Championship
. After playing against
Brazil
,
Canada
and
Argentina
, Puerto Rico lost all three games, ending up in fourth place. The year ended with a bronze at the FIBA Americas Championship. On 31 January 2008, a draw took place for the
FIBA Preolympic tournament
, which placed Puerto Rico in the same group as
Croatia
and
Cameroon
, where its winner would have to face the second place of Group C.
[7]
Following this event, the president of the
National Superior Basketball League
confirmed that the team would play exhibition games at the 2008 Bamberg Super Cup in Germany against
Greece
,
Slovenia
and
the host
, beginning on 4 July 2008.
[7]
Then, a second set of exhibition games would follow, scheduled to start on 8 July 2008, in
Slovenia
: the 2008 Alpos International Cup, where the team would face
New Zealand
,
Iran
and the hosts. After these preparatory tournaments, the team would train until the Preolympic tournament's beginning.
[7]
The team began practicing on 19 May 2008, and included several players that were under consideration for inclusion by
Cintron
.
[8]
On 4 June 2008, Daniel Santiago confirmed that he would abandon his international retirement and play with Puerto Rico in the Preolympic tournament.
[9]
Santiago announced that he would join the team in July, following an exhibition game.
[9]
Javier Mojica,
Alejandro Carmona
and
Joel Jones
were included in as potential members in the preliminary team.
[10]
On 1 July 2008, hours before the team was scheduled to travel to Europe,
Angelo Reyes
was excluded after not establishing communication with the directives.
[11]
Reyes
was replaced with Alex Falcon.
[11]
Subsequently, Reyes asked for a dispensation to attend personal matters, noting that he intended to join the team in a week; however, he was not included due to time constraints.
[12]
[13]
In the first game at the Bamberg Super Cup, Puerto Rico defeated
Germany
with a team composed mostly of reserve players, as
Carlos Arroyo
, Santiago,
Larry Ayuso
and
Carmelo Lee
were attending other compromises.
[14]
Puerto Rico continued playing with these players, finishing 2nd, after losing the final game to
Greece
, who entered the cup with their entire lineup.
[15]
[16]
Santiago and Ayuso joined the practices on 5 July 2008, when Puerto Rico traveled to Slovenia, where the Alpos International Cup was being held. The first match in the tournament was a victory against New Zealand,
[17]
followed by another victory in the semifinals over Iran.
[18]
At the end, Puerto Rico finished second, losing to Slovenia in the finals.
[19]
[20]
The Preolympic tournament
began on 14 July 2008, but Puerto Rico's debut came the following day, when the team defeated
Cameroon
and advanced to the second round, due to a loss that the African team had suffered during the first day of competition. On its second game, the team lost to
Croatia
, but in the quarterfinals, defeated Slovenia.
[21]
The team didn't qualify to the Olympics, after losing to Greece in the semifinals and to
Germany
in the tournament's bronze medal game.
[22]
2008?2012
[
edit
]
This Olympic cycle began with the
2008 Centrobasket
competition. After having failed to classify directly to it, Puerto Rico's spot was secured after its first and only participation in the
2007 CaribeBasket tournament
, where Puerto Rico won all round one games by over 25 points and went on to win gold. The 2008 Centrobasket was scheduled to take place before the Olympic Qualifying Tournament, but due to time constraints it was postponed. A group of prospects was included in the roster to replace
Peter John Ramos
and
Ricky Sanchez
, who were injured. Among those included was
Angel Daniel Vassallo
, who played as a small forward in
Virginia Tech
. In the first game of the tournament, Puerto Rico defeated
Costa Rica
.
[23]
In the other two games of the first round, the team defeated
Cuba
and
Panama
.
[24]
[25]
During the course of the event,
Carlos Arroyo
and
Larry Ayuso
were forced to rest a game due to injuries.
[26]
In the semifinals, the team scored a win over the
Dominican Republic
.
[27]
Puerto Rico won the gold medal by defeating the
United States Virgin Islands
in the finals. The team has secured a spot for the
2010 FIBA World Championship
by finishing in 1 of the top 4 spots in the
2009 FIBA Americas Championship
. At the end, Puerto Rico finished the tournament with the silver medal, having lost the game against
Argentina
in the group stage, and losing the final against
Brazil
. Pending the performance at the 2010 FIBA World Championship, this cycle has had Puerto Rico with a record of 19?2 (Caribebasket 6?0, Centrobasket 5?0, FIBA Americas 8?2), not counting the 2nd-place finish at the
2009 Marchand Continental Championship Cup
, where Puerto Rico won the exhibition games against
Argentina
and
Canada
, but lost the final to
Brazil
.
At the 2010 CentroBasket, Puerto Rico won Group B with Cuba finishing second.
[28]
The team defeated Panama in semifinals and the Dominican Republic in the final to win the gold medal. Arroyo and Barea were included in the tournament's All-Star Team.
[29]
In 2010, the
Puerto Rican Basketball Federation
relieved
Manolo Cintron
of his coaching duties, and on 8 June 2011, the Federation officially announced the new head coach of the national team,
Flor Melendez
, which will be Melendez's second stint with the team as head coach.
On 27 August 2011, a chartered airplane carrying the team as well as the Canadian, Dominican and Brazilian national basketball teams from Foz de Iguacu, Brazil, to Mar del Plata, Argentina, made an emergency landing at
Ezeiza International Airport
,
Buenos Aires
,
Argentina
, after experiencing severe weather conditions mid-flight. The plane left for Mar del Plata an hour and a half after it landed.
[30]
2019
[
edit
]
On 26 February 2019, Puerto Rico defeated the Uruguayan national basketball team 65?61, securing their entrance into the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup in China
[31]
They were drawn to Group C, facing 2nd-ranked
Spain
, alongside
Iran
and
Tunisia
, with Puerto Rico facing Iran and Tunisia for the very first time.
2023 FIBA World Cup
[
edit
]
On 27 July 2023, the
New Orleans Pelicans
announced that for precautionary reasons that Puerto Rican star PG
Jose Alvarado
would miss the 2023 FIBA world cup to allow him to heal up for the upcoming NBA season.
[32]
[33]
On 10 August 2023, FIBA had announced the 2025 AmeriCup Qualifiers groups, placing PR in Group D with the United States, Cuba, and Bahamas.
[34]
Uniform
[
edit
]
During most of the 1980s and up until the late 1990s, the team wore a solid color uniform, with accent lines and the word "Puerto Rico" written in stylized cursive. Nowadays, the national team's uniform resembles a
Puerto Rican flag
, but also includes the traditional Puerto Rico letters in cursive. The uniforms are red or blue for "home" status, and white for "away."

Since its basketball debut in the 1935 Games, Puerto Rico has only failed to medal in the 1938, 1946, 1950, and 1998 Games. The team has a total of 16 medals.
[35]
CaribeBasket Championships
[
edit
]
Since the founding of the CaribeBasket tournament in 1981 as a CentroBasket qualification stage for Caribbean countries, Puerto Rico has only participated in the 2007 tournament, after failing to classify directly to CentroBasket 2008. In this tournament, it won all round one games by over 25 points and went on to win gold.
Goodwill Games
[
edit
]
Because the 1986 FIBA World Championship was scheduled to be held at the same time as the 1986 Goodwill Games, the inaugural men's Goodwill Games basketball title was based on results from the World's.
[41]
For the 2001 games, although scheduled to compete with seven other teams, Puerto Rico was not able to make it to the tournament, being replaced by Mexico, which finished 7th.
