A long time ago, people all over the world realized that they loved playing a game called basketball. They wanted to see who was the best at playing this game, so they decided to hold a big competition. This competition is called the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
In this competition, different teams from different countries all over the world come together and play against each other. It's kind of like a big party where every team gets a chance to show off their best moves on the court.
Now, when you play basketball there are certain things you can do that will score your team some points. For example, throwing the ball into the hoop counts as two points, and if you throw the ball from really far away and it goes in, it counts as three points.
The FIBA Basketball World Cup keeps track of these points and records them in a book. This book is like a big encyclopedia that records all the important things that happen during the competition.
There are lots of records in this book, like which team scored the most points in a single game, which player scored the most points, and even which team has won the most games in the history of the competition.
All of these records are really important because they help us remember the amazing things that have happened during the FIBA Basketball World Cup over the years.
