Message: [QUOTE="Majic Hands, post: 5062878, member: 8345"] Hey, you were giving me stuff to think about until you got to the USA players are better. That’s why they (foreigners) come here. . . :confused: Perhaps we’re better because basketball is in about ever grade school, high school, colleges , clubs, gyms, parks, backyards, portable hoops on cul’de’sac in most neighborhoods, it’s on multiple tv channels from around the world. And we live in a leisure society where we as a culture need to be entertained. It’s a game that has been established in the USA for generations. How many kids in other countries actually have touched a basketball? How many have tv’s to watch basketball? How many schools have basketball facilities even if the kids get to go to school? How many parents have the time and resources to take the kids to practice and games? How many countries don’t even allow “GIRLS” to even participate in sporting activities. Period. I think most BY’ers will understand my point. I suspect that most kids that come to participate in the collegiate experience in the USA are from some of the more well off countries, cities, or households. Check Napheesa Collier & Jana Al Alfie’s parent’s place in their home country. I also suspect that a lot of the players where there’s been discussions on the BY about why don’t they come and play in the USA instead of going directly into the leagues overseas is because for them playing in a league (job/work) is the best way they can make money now.
