tbf its actually big in spain, Greece, Serbia, Turkey. So its quite big in Europe. Probably is there 2nd sport in those countries behind football. </BLOCKQUOTE>

It's the 2nd sport in most of the Americas. In Brazil it's the 3rd one (behing football and volleyball).

Iirc Loul Deng (from the Bulls of Chicago) has been playing for the GB team recently, he's a bit good.

Never laughed. It's not generally considered as the 2nd most reputable sport anywhere I know people from. Which is a couple of places.

Luol Deng seems to think that British Basketball is getting better and that its getting bigger over here. Said that england will qualify for the major championships.

So, people in England are too short to play basketball (or volleyball, or become goalies for that matter)?
