nfl is only the number 1 sport in one country america

even in canada the cfl>>>>>>>nfl
But this is why the "NBA" being popular overseas is also a myth. There's a stark difference between the "NBA" being popular or certain NBA "players" being popular.

Et Al basketball league >>>> NBA in some obscure country

I agree with alot if ot except the part that the nba should be more popular then the nfl just becasue everoynes played basketball at some point thats horrible logic

The NFL is the perfect tv sport add in its only 16 games and every game means something the nba regualr season is long and alot of it is meaningless hell most of the first roud of the playoffs is logn and a waste of time

Its just not built to compete with the nfl

nah not really
kids aint checking for rise and shine in phillipines
I lived in Würzburg during the rise of Dirk and outside of that small community, Germans could give less than a damn about him. One town over the local soccer club superstar got more love. You're not seeing basketball courts or gyms with pick up games but you will see soccer fields damn near every other mile. Basketball isn't that big as people make it out to be. Trust me

Yup. When Dirk retires, Germans aren't going to give a damn about the MAVS or the NBA either.

It's a myth that the "NBA" is popular overseas. Certain "players" are. Dudes making them one and the same. It's a shyt model. I've been saying this since 99 on the old site

I agree man. Football is just way more compelling. Basketball really is :yawn: inducing. I was looking at the stands at the HEat and OKC game and it was :dead:...I get most of updates on games from here. I don't care to even watch anymore. shyt is boring. And the sport is :flabbynsick: Most people don't start watching till after March Madness. That should tell you everything about it's "global" impact.

no doubt...and hes right about college fans vs nba fans too...

ive had people flat-out tell me they didnt like the nba becuz it was full of thugs....:patrice:

its the exact same nikkas they were rooting for a few years ago in college :usure:

perception breh....:wow:

I used to work with this cac bytch who voiced her absolute hate and disdain for the NBA. I mean I was just waiting for her to call them ******s.





But she is the biggest Kansas Jayhawk fan I've ever seen. :wow:
She'd do anything just to smell Wayne Simien's farts. :wow:
She practically wanted Xavier Henry to anal fukk her. :wow:


As soon as them nikkas went to the league, she hated them dudes and acted like they were lower than dirt. :wow:
When they're working for "massa" (the school) for free its all good :stopitslime:
When they finally get that money they dont like to see that. very psychological
