elvaracco Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hmmmmmm, Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of Basketball was born in Canada. In terms of individual talent, athleticism, Americans have the advantage. However, FIBA has matured to a level that teamwork and tactics have offset the American's individual talent.

elvaracco Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I'm interested at the 2010 FIBA World Championships. I wonder if USA can still dominate it. If team USA can win the championship, then there would be a chance that they may still dominate the Olympics Quote Link to comment

PimpDadi Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Best nation in basketball is a tie between the Philippines and Lithuania (at least in Vinlus) Sa Pinas bawat barangay may basketball court and 85% of males can shoot and dribble but 99% knows the game. Proof? - what kind of country would elect former basketball players as mayors, vice mayors or councilors? We even sent two pros in the Senate! Even a referee Tito Varela one an election at some point It is just part of Pinoy culture.Of all the countries in Europe, only Lithuania has a basketball court in every village. They also know the game. You will have to wonder how a small country almost beat the USA Dream Team in the semifinals of the Olympics. They were the first team that proved that USA is not that dominant and they did not even have the legendary Sarunas or even the contemporary Zydrunas Ilgauskas or Darius Songaila. These former Soviet republic was a perrennial source of Olympians for the once proud giant USSR.When its World Cup season, almost all the Europeans talk about it and enjoy sharing their insights with my singaporean and Korean colleagues. In a European conference, I was surprised when a diminutive Lithuanian approached me and asked me if only the two of us were out of place in the sports bar. We talked about X and O's of the game and laughed at the other Europeans after the soccer game ended in a draw zero-zero. I was just happy none of that ever happens in hoops :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
