Amaury Dos Pasos, was not only king of a great period in Brazilian basketball, but also led his team to two World Championships in 1959 and 1963 along with Wlamir Marques, Ubiratán Maciel, Rosa Branca and Antonio Sucar, among other under the direction of Togo Renan, known as Kanela. 6 He was 6'6" tall and he could play center and forward. He was also a great defender and scorer shown in his individual attack. Dos Passos, who is bald since his mid 20's, recognized that they won Gold in Chile because the favorite, the Soviet Union didn't want to play against China and they were penalized with a loss. When he was 67 years old, he participated in the Masters competitions with the same quality as before. Pablo Prigioni tries to evade the defense of Ricky Sanchez to pass the ball to a teammate.

Carmelo Lee is the Puerto Rican version of John Salley, who won two NBA titles with the Detroit Pistons and nicknamed him 'Spider', because of his long arms. Since 2005 he is a member of the national team being a defensive specialist. Lee, who is 32 years old and 6'7", started playing professionally in Mexico, before Puerto Rico with Gallitos de Isabela. He is now gaining playing time and prominence with head coach Manolo Cintron as he did before with Julio Toro.
