Brazil was just awarded a spot as host country and Serbia as European champion. One spot will go to FIBA Americas champion on Sunday (unless it is Brazil as the second place team will get the spot). Another spot will go to the FIBA Oceania champion and that will be crowned on Monday. The Asia and African champs will get spots and the other five will be determined at Olympic qualifying tournament next year.Jim Fullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368670098808413048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36311952.post-35533547158841547492015-08-12T12:10:34.905-04:002015-08-12T12:10:34.905-04:00I'm confused when you say "the" auto...I'm confused when you say "the" automatic spot...how many spots are there total?<br /><br />Brazil gets an automatic slot as host...does the USA get an automatic slot as defending gold medalist?Joenoreply@blogger.com
