Will A Boomers Medal Boost Basketball In Aus?

One factor we can't overlook in the success of soccer is that we have a lot more Euro (particularly UK) migrants than US migrants. With soccer the dominant sport in Europe, the audience for that sport is expanding relative to basketball.

On Euro teams being able to put more cohesive teams on the court than the US: I totally agree, Colangelo should have a word with Danny Ainge and put forward the "world champion" Boston Celtics as the US entry!

Those guys sure showed how to fuse 3 all-stars into a seamless team this year. Even better, we actually get to find out once and for all if the NBA should give its champions the "world" tag!
