The United States Has Won 14 Out Of 18 Gold Medals Since Basketball Was Introduced In The Olympics.
Even The Women's Team Has Won 7 Out Of 10 Games.

FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt.

lol this is dumb

yes winning an NBA title doesn't make you a WORLD champion

the same way winning in MLB, NFL, & MLS doesnt

but when we go to the olympics we shit all over everyone so hard its not even funny

and the teams that stand the slightest chance are comprised of veteran NBA players like Serge Ibaka, Pau Gasol (Spain) & dudes like Luol Deng (Great Britain)

& if NBA players call themselves 'world champions' its rightfully so because the worst NBA team in the league can probably fuck with the best basketball team from any given country

unless you're talking olympics where all the NBA players play for their country thats different

All I'm saying is the claim of world champions is silly, which you agree. I'm Not debating whether or not it's the best league because it obviously is. But to be world champions you have to compete against other teams around the world.

Why do Americans KEEP forgetting that football absolutely smashes American Football in all these figures? The World Cup Final defeats the Superbowl by a landslide in WORLD figures.

If I'm correct, someone here recently said Madden was the highest selling sports game (Think it was Pulse), and then he wondered if it might be FIFA. FIFA absolutely obliterates Madden every time.

Of course it does

That's why I corrected myself and was like FIFA

Its weird because when I have a conversation with people I tend to bring up shit that I can relate to forgetting that people from all over the world be on here

in the U.S. i'm sure Madden sells more so I said FIFA when I realized that FIFA is a global game

I can't actually find any sales figures for either in US. Interesting question.

Madden sells about 4times more I believe.

You can't even find madden around here

The NBA is the highest skilled basketball league in the world... that's why they're considered world champions... Players from around the world (if they are good enough) come and play in the NBA. Including Europe & even communist China allows their players in the NBA, but they still tax the shit out of those players...

American Football... They are considered world champions because it is the highest skill american football league in the world as well..

Same with baseball..

America controls the highest skilled leagues & has the best players from all around the world participate... It's not just Americans in the NBA, NFL, MLB.

And those players from other countries, go back to their countries to play in the Olympics aka Tony Parker, Pau Gasol, etc.

No other league in the world fucks with these.

obviously, soccer is the most popular sport world-wide, but it's still fuck soccer for me. its a 3rd world sport IMo..

You're a dumb ass if you believe that that's a valid reason.

Actually I just realized they ARE world champions

Because even though they don't play against other countries...They draft the best players from other countries. For example, you could play for a team in Italy and still go to the NBA. & It's a step up because the NBA > FIBA

Yao Ming was the #1 pick in 2002 & he was chillin in China when they drafted him
