I'm going to stop you there. </BLOCKQUOTE>

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).

well so you were laughing at you thinking its not the 2nd biggest sport, when it actually is?

retired_crystallinewish

Yes but still other countries such as: spain, italy, germany, france, portugal, Czech Republic or even Argentina, Brazil, China, Australia in other continents have a good team to compete in the major tournaments.

Being a small country we dont grow enough freaks to make a decent team.

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)?
