The US is the only true volume production of the best basketball talent for both men and women. Sometimes it seems that American athletes are born at birth with basketball potential in their genes. This is similar to soccer for other nations. The US will never dominate soccer player production even though USA women have had success. Soccer is such a God given part of their culture that it seems to be in their genes.

In my opinion the reason why the US women have been far more successful than the US men in soccer is because of football. The best girl athletes grow up playing soccer in the fall because it is virtually the only option, where the a large percentage of the best boy athletes tend to play football. As a football coach used to tell me "soccer is for good athletes that are not tough enough to play football".

Not sure that is the case these days.......I'd say football is for good athletes that don't mind getting the "------" beaten out of them on a daily basis when they can play soccer and still get the girls.......
