                    [Summary] =>

It was unlike what happened in Tokyo last Friday when the FIBA Central Board chose to award the hosting rights of the 2019 World Cup to China over the Philippines on a vote of 14-7. While there was an actual bidding event in Tokyo, it was just a handshake that sealed the deal in 1978.
