Which Country Has Won the Most Olympic Basketball Medals?
Basketball at the Olympics: A Tradition of Excellence
Who's Dominated the Court?
The United States, where basketball originated, has reigned supreme in the sport at the Olympic Games. With 25 gold medals in total—16 in the men's tournament and nine in the women's—the USA has been a consistent powerhouse on the court.
Other countries have also made impressive strides in Olympic basketball, with the Soviet Union/Russia, Yugoslavia/Serbia, and Brazil all claiming multiple medals. However, no nation has matched the success of the United States, which has stood atop the podium more than any other.
