has bball overtake soccer in argentina?
are there many kids play basektball in argentina?more than play football?
argentina soccer national team sux all the time.compared with football national team,the basketball team is very very good.and i heard that manu has already become the biggest idol in the heart of the youngs,so has basketball supass it among the youth?
is the basket the fast growing sports in the argentina in the last ten years?how many years it need to surpass football in terms of numbers of people that play it?
 
I'll number the questions to make it clearer:

1) No, and never will.

2) Basketball has been historically the second-most played sport, way behind football but a little ahead of rugby and tennis, and that was before this Golden Generation arrived.

3) I don't think football NT sucks, it's still one of the best 8 in the world:p .

4) Manu is indeed the most popular sports icon in Argentina right now, at least among active players (somehow Maradona is still number one, this country has a pathologic fixation with him). But that doesn't put basketball ahead of football.

5) Rugby, tennis and field hockey have also grown a lot over these past 10 years. Still, I think the basketball NT made the biggest leap in popularity and media coverage among these, although Pumas matches and Davis Cup matches are also very important. The problem is, having many players in NBA has reduced media coverage for the LNB (national league), especially in Buenos Aires.
 
hehehehe!!! there is no way basketball will overtake football in Argentina and the rest of South America or in Latin America in general.. no way!!!
 
football is the most importance spots in argentina,likes the pingpong in china.
