    The official national basketball team of the Philippines is a team currently under suspension by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) after a series of disagreements and arguments between the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) and the Basketball Association of the Philippines (BAP) which is still going on as of right now. Go to the website for more information, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_national_basketball_team

    Yup, Serbia, Montenegro (I think they are 2 different countries now) and Slovenia are all part of Yugoslavia before.

    Serbia/Montenegro, now just Serbia, used to still call itself Yugoslavia for a while after the union ceased to exist, up until 2000 or so.
