Description: Basketball has long been one of the most popular sports in Lithuania, and the Lithuania men's national basketball team has history reaching back to 1936. Despite Lithuania's small size, and a population of less than 3 million, the country's devotion to basketball has made them a force of the sport in Europe. Following the country's annexation by the Soviet Union during WWII, Lithuanian players formed the core of the Soviet national team. After Lithuania's independence was restored in 1990, the country wanted to stand on its own in basketball again, establishing a new national team ahead of the 1992 games to continue the country's proud history of top level basketball well into the future.
