Other than Serbian, he fluently speaks six other languages and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1991 as a contributor. In 2007, he was enshrined as a contributor in the FIBA Hall of Fame. FIBA has named the annual international basketball cup after him, "Stanković Cup". In his book "''Dream Team – How Michael, Magic, Larry, Charles, and the Greatest Team of All Time Conquered the World and Changed the Game of Basketball Forever''" (2012), American novelist and sportswriter Jack McCallum praises Stanković (incorrectly referred to him as ''Boris'') for his role in allowing NBA pros to compete for their national teams in the Olympics, and later in the Basketball World Cups organized by FIBA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Forgotten Yugoslavian Meat Inspector First Came Up With The Idea To Form An Olympic Basketball 'Dream Team' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Borislav Stanković」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
