As evidence, he points to figures released by China's own Sports Ministry: More people play basketball in China than there are people ??? people, period ??? in the U.S.[/b]"http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/comm...ack=1&cset=true

    Pretty much the world's # 2 sport behind soccer - shares the primary characteristic that enables soccer to be so popular: affordable... Take that in concert w/ national pride b/c of Yao and not to hard to see why...

    Right now tho', it's all about jogo bonito...
