[QUOTE="john, post: 2272218, member: 5463"] is it because it's an american sport? how many times have they qualified for Eurobasket? Boskey: "because soccer is the **** over there and there arent any good players in the UK leagues." 1) can't they be good in 2 sports like spain or argentina? 2) UK has some NBA players, but are you telling me a small country like slovenia (pop. 2 Million) can produce more quality bball players than britain? "cuz soccer is more popular there. just like in america we like bball, american football, baseball, hockey etc over soccer" can understand the unpopularity of baseball, american football, icehockey since they have cricket, rugby and field hockey over there. but UK seems to be the only country in europe completely uninterested in basketball.
