Of course you do mate.

It's a game for tall Americans, only. Only popular at the community level in Australia

ARE YOU SERIOUS? Dude granted San Antonio is boring as hell to watch but are you kidding me with the boring bit? International rules were made to stop us Americans from making international teams look stupid! International rules slow the game down so much more. I play basketball here in the states and when I spent last year in Australia and had to transition to international rules, it was difficult. The style of play here is so much more aggresive compared to international ball. I am not sure what you mean when you say that the NBA dosn't use plays... Maybe that just shows your lack of basketball knowledge, or it could be that your still bitter that America dominated Australia by 31 points in the Olympics. Either way the USA is undoubtedly the king of basketball. Just like you guys should be running the table in league, union, and criket. All of these sports I learned and participated in during my year in Aus. I will be the first to say that I am disapointed in the United States participation of world sports, but I am happy we atleast feild teams in some. We do have a lowsey union team, and we have just created a cricket team. Of corse yall will crush us in both I am happy to see America embrassing the sports. All the best to you, but seriously, we do dominate in Basketball. No question.

You are idiot bloke. Last time Opals lost to USA they had their 2 best players Lauren and Penny hurt. 2006 Opals won world championships not USA. Please think next time before opening your mouth you dumb dumb. Aussie TEK

The USA is the best basketball country. I mean, they invented it, they introduced it around the world and guess what? They're stil the best! Ask any NBA player and they'll tell you that the USA is the best basketball country.

Olympics? This is not even an argument. US hoops is hands down the best. Now if were talking rugby, soccer, cricket- Oz is far superior.

Yes the USA is the most successful country in basketball internationally. However in recent years they have demonstrated they can be beaten (mens by Argentina and Spain to name two). Likewise in the womens.
As for rules, yes basketball was invented by James Naismith (an american, but a naturalised Canadian) however the NBA does not use the FIBA rules used by the rest of the world and the Olympics.

Umm the US invented basketball dumbass so yeah we use the REAL rules. And btw they don't run plays in college or NBA basketball. Plus we kicked Australias ass up and down the court in the Olympics.

------------------------- ------------------------- ---------

Yes mate, Basketball is a yanks game and naturally, you would beat us. Our main competition, the NBL, went broke.

However, how do you reckon the yanks would go playing aginst the Aussies at Rugby. Mate, we steamroll you lot all over the field.

Lithaawhoo! I am a big NBA fan from way back, when I use to watch the DOCTOR play. I know the U.S.A have alot of showboaters and stuck up arrogant misfits in the league now but the U.S.A have alot of talent. The only reason they might lose any games is there egos get in the way, let's take e.g last year they won the Olympics with ease, why, they played as a team. Team work is something that is hard to come by when your the STAR of your NBA team, the go to guy,the big dog on your team, now put all these types of players in one team and you'll have problems. If the great U.S OF A play as a team they are unbeatable....

Is that all you got: Man you ain't talkin about jack. I guess you believe Australia is a better basketball nation...they can't even beat the Opals...lmao. Yeah thats right, Andrew Gaze was your best effoet so San An, gave him aring because he sure didn't make much of an impact. He is by fat the best shooter ever from this country but he's week in other areas. Player for player, pound for pound Australia can't even carry the USA's locks mate. Say no to drugs dude!

just spent 3 weeks in the us watching college and NBA basketball. HO HUM how boring. the game is soooooo slow and based purely on individual talent . No concept of team play or defencive principals. Coaches are still living in the past with antiquated plays and coaching concepts. They have there own set off rules far removed from what the rest of the world use (woops forgot there is no rest of the world as far as the US can see.)Get with the program guys come and see what the Australian Institute of Sport has to offer.
