The Malaysia men's national basketball team (Malay : pasukan bola keranjang kebangsaan Malaysia ) 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
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
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.
