Slovenijales is a leading Slovenian specialized trading company offering wood products, hardware, and custom furniture for over 75 years. The company was the sponsor of the US National Team at the 1970 World Basketball Championship in Ljubljana and published this postcard that featured the team. The team featured several notable players, including future Hall of Famer Bill Walton. Although Walton never served in the U.S. Armed Forces and is famously remembered for his anti-establishment stances and outspoken criticism of the Vietnam War, he did represent the United States at these 1970 World Military games wearing the U.S. Armed Forces jersey. 13 countries participated in the games, with Yugoslavia defeating the USA (70:63) in the final game.
