The OP would actually be believable if OP had said Joe Montana, Wayne Gretzky, Barry Bonds etc. because people don't fukk with the NFL, NHL or MLB like that outside the US but the NBA gets tons of exposure worldwide. Hundreds of countries air live games.

Depends what your looking for but there is plenty of good scenery and places to drink and a lot of cool people especially in the north.
Muhammed Ali is not more famous than Jordan
