By the way Hachimura was traded to the Lakers... How this will impact his stint in Japan's basketball team this summer? Lakers are one of the teams that are not famous on putting their players playing in international competition, Although the likes of Kobe and P. Gasol well represented in international tournaments before.. But they are established players already... Rui is not... It will be a challenge for JBA to convince Lakers management to lend Hchimura to play for Japan this summer... He's very important piece for Japanese team in this era of Japanese basketball (Current face of Japan's basketball)...Originally posted by Rds View PostComment

Just a survey, with some traditional footballing countries in the African and European continent not included in the polls. But yeah, basketball still has undeniably grown by leaps and bounds in the last decade or so, although still not enough to surpass football (yet) as it is also experiencing a steady growth on its own in huge markets like US, CHN, and IND.Originally posted by Giannis34GOD View PostWell, according to Nielson sports (This is accredited sports data research).. 46% of the sports fans in the world are football (soccer) fans then next is basketball has 36%...

In reality, I guess 55-60% are football fans worldwide, while basketball followers might atleast 25-30% and cricket 18-20%... Basketball has also new followers in South Sudan has 11-12 million inhabitants while Mongolia has 3 million inhabitants... So far, FIBA's gamble on changing the format into home and away is good, even have some controversies regardless of players' availability per window, including from NBA and Euroleague....Originally posted by Rodbi View PostComment

Seems like it, the additional games was an additional exposure. I'd also attribute this growth to the modern NBA and how it took advantage of the modern online-streaming technology.Originally posted by Giannis34GOD View PostComment

Even in Europe, Ice hockey countries likes of Finland, Iceland have hoops fans or middle east countries likes Syria or Iraq have massive basketball fans that we never know if FIBA sticks to the old format.... Look at Cricket, their market only stuck at Indian sub continent and countries likes Australia and UK, rest of the world doesn't know this sport is still exist, because ICC board didn't embrace globalization.. w/o massive Indian market, the sport cricket will likely die from the dust... Indian fans, alongside Bangladesh and Pakistan fans put the sport cricket in existence... Globalization is the key for FIBA to make their market bigger and stronger, they can't rely just only US, China or Philippines' market to them for revenue... They have to explore something, even it will take some criticism from their old markets...Originally posted by Rodbi View PostComment

In Europe.. playing for national team is a big deal, whether it's WC or Olympics.. For them, the value it's same... Especially if they playing against their rival European nations (Spain vs France, Greece vs Turkey, Greece vs Serbia, ex Yugoslav match ups, etc) and against USA... For Europeans, beating team USA in a sports field is a big thing because for them, this is the only arena that they can prove to the Americans that they are the best over them.. Unfortunately, the only sport that they can prove that is only basketball... In soccer/football, Europeans are better than Americans, especially the latter doesn't care about that sport and not powerhouse in football/soccer, They can't also prove that in cricket, since Americans doesn't know that sport... While Europeans doesn't acknowledge most of American sports likes of Baseball, American football while only handful of countries only playing in Ice Hockey (northern hemisphere countries only) and volleyball (only Poland and Italy are good volleyball teams in Europe).. That's why basketball is the only sport that can prove to Americans that they are better... Europeans only accept basketball in all American sports due to cheap and easy to play...Originally posted by KoolAid View PostComment

USA ain't invincible in hockey, they ain't even the top NT from their own continent, though being a world no. 4 ain't so bad either. It's a European NT that's on top of the world rankings.Originally posted by Giannis34GOD View PostComment

Yeah... Russia, Canada are better teams there, and most of the teams who playing in ice hockey are those who in the Northern part of the hemisphere, While Field hockey is always consist of British colonial counties likes of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc....Originally posted by Rodbi View PostComment
