===Community Objection===
FIBA filed Community Objections against the other two applications. In January 2014, an [[ICC]] panelist denied the objections and allowed both applications to continue, on the grounds that FIBA did not persuade the panelist that the other applications would cause material detriment to the basketball community. This decision was in contrast to an earlier decision by a different panelist on the .sport string, wherein the panelist sided with the objector.<ref>[http://domainnamewire.com/2014/01/09/uh-oh-basketball-community-objection-fails-while-sport-prevailed/ Uh oh, .basketball Community Objection Fails while .sport Prevailed, DomainNameWire] Retrieved 10 Jan 2014</ref>
