Originally known as the Fédération Internationale de Basketball Amateur (hence FIBA), in 1989 it dropped the word Amateur from its official name but retained the initialism; the "BA" now represents the first two letters of basketball.FIBA defines the international rules of basketball, specifies the equipment and facilities required, regulates the transfer of athletes across countries, and controls the appointment of international referees. A total of 213 national federations are now members, organized since 1989 into five zones or "commissions": Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania.The FIBA Basketball World Cup is a world tournament for men's national teams held every four years. Teams compete for the Naismith Trophy, named in honor of basketball's creator James Naismith. The tournament structure is similar but not identical to that of the FIFA World Cup in football; these tournaments have occurred in the same year since 1970, but starting in 2019, the Basketball World Cup will move to the year following the FIFA World Cup. A parallel event for women's teams, the FIBA World Championship for Women, is also held quadrennially, in the same year as the men's event but in a different country.

Hayden Kho gets reinstated as medical practitioner
Hayden Kho can now resume practicing medicine as his license which was revoked five years ago was reinstated by the Professional Regulation Commission’s (PRC) Board of Medicine. Hayden on Monday evening shared the good news on his Instagram account which showed a portion of the signed document dated July 7 by Miguel Noche, Jr., chairman of the PRC's Board of Medicine. The document detailed in brief its grounds for granting Hayden’s petition for reinstatement which was largely due to the “complainant's failure to oppose as desistance or waiver of her right to object to the petition.” It pointed out that there is “no cogent reason to further burden petitioner with the remnants of a reckless faux pas when his overall conduct shows a manifestly repentant heart. While others simply passively wait for the period revocation to lapse, petitioner positively and quickly acted to prove himself a worthy medical doctor to this Board and the Commission. "Wherefore, all premises considered and for reasons of equity and justice, the Board hereby grants petitioner's petition for reinstatement. Dr. Hayden Kho is hereby reinstated to the practice as medical doctor." Hayden quoted two Bible verses in the photo’s caption, Psalms 71:20 and Joel 2:25, to “reflect what my heart wants to say about this.” The revocation of Hayden’s license happened in November 2009 after he was found guilty of committing "immorality, dishonorable, and unethical conduct" in connection with the video recording of his sexual dalliances with various women.
