The Malaysia men's national basketball team represents Malaysia at international basketball competitions. It is organized and run by the Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA); (Malay: Persatuan Bola Keranjang Malaysia ).
The team had its prime time between 1960 and 1995 when it qualified for the FIBA Asia Championship , Asia's most prestigious basketball tournament, 18 times in a row. In 1986 it qualified for the World Cup , its most noteworthy accomplishment to date.
Petronas is the major sponsor for MABA. The women's national team has more successes internationally compared to the men's counterpart.
Outlook [ edit ] In Malaysia, basketball is predominantly played by people of Chinese background, hence the majority of the national team players have their names.[2] Efforts have been made to attract other ethnicities and popularise the sport in the country.
