Notes
- ^ In a few cases, names here have been corrected from source, where and only where a Wikipedia page exists for the player and the two are readily discernible as referring to the same person (e.g. slightly different Latinizations, married vs maiden names, reverse order of Chinese names, etc). If the birthdays for any such person disagree between their individual page and the FIBA source here, the FIBA source is preserved here regardless, as we have no way to determine which is correct.
