You don't need to have a large population to be good, only proper training structure. Like Lithuania has 1/10 of your population and is better than Australia in bsaetkball.

basketball isn't even a top 10 sport here while i'd wager its at least top 2 if not the most popular sport in lithuania

yeah nobody here gives a fuck about basketball outside of watching it like the americanized faggots australians have become. nobody plays it because aussies are manlets.

No one watches it either. the NBL doesnt even get 10k on tv. For reference afl and nrl average 1 mil tv audience per game.

>nbl

talking about the cuckstomers watching the nba, you nonce.

The highest rated NBA playoff game was 70k lol. Not on at the best times but still pathetic in comparison to other sports here. Even the a-league does better than that.

>can't beat a c-list American basketball team

yeah it is lmao

NRL, AFL, cric, rugby, soccer, what else? The NBL is top 10.

Daily reminder that the saints beat most NBL teams

In terms of tv audience and crowd attendance:
1. cricket
2. AFL
3. NRL
4. Tennis
5. Rugby union
6. Formula 1
7. Soccer
8. Super Cars
9. Golf
10. NBL

thats still 70k people around australia that are faggots that watch apehoop. throw in the numbers that watch boreball and niggerclash and you have at least 1 million aussies with black cock on the brain.

Any number is too high, I agree. Thankfully NFL does even worse than NBA, though. The highest NFL game I've ever seen was 60k. Never seen a baseball game rank on nightly tv ratings.

any pub you go into during apehoop or niggerclash season will be televising it

>How are they so good at basketball?

Probably because its piss cheap to license. The NBA even pays new stations here to run highlights during the sports section lol. It's all part of NBA's marketing strategy. Sadly it's kind of effective.

MMA would also be up here, probably around rugby union and formula 1, but you can't get tv ratings for it since its PPV so much harder to factor in.

Does F1 count if there isn't an aus team and super cars doesn't have local teams?

You might as well say League of Legends too

>8. Super Cars
Are you literally children?

There is an Aus driver and the first race of the F1 season is in Melbourne, dumbcunt. And even if there werent it still averaged 300k on pay tv and always pulled over a million when it was on 10, making it one of the most watched sports in the country.

It's regular saloon cars

And so what? Like I said, the main factor is proper training infrastructure.
Murrikans absolutely don't give a fuck about volleyball, they still have a top team. And how popular is track cycling in Australia? I'm pretty sure it's not top 10 either, and yet Australia is a top track cycling country. Iceland barely has the population of a Sydney district, and yet they manage to field a proper football team, and have a top handball team.
Population or popularity are factors that are vastly overwhelmed by proper training and coaching structure.

How would there be training or coaching structure in a country if the sport isn't popular you mongoloid

There's a difference between a popular sport to play and a commonly watched sport. Like Netball.

Basketball is not a popular sport to play here. And netball literally gets better tv ratings than soccer here lol
tv ratings are a by product of interest in a sport.

>F1 is a sport

Idiot

It is classified as such, yeah.

>No team element
>No physicality
>No ball or point system
>almost no interaction

Spose the 100m is a sport too in neo-lebanon.

>>No team element
>>No physicality
this is not true

the absolute state of this kiwi with the american cock up his arse seething because basketball is irrelevant in australia lmao

Too much meth, Bruce? Or maybe not enough? Obviously, you seem to think that if it's not popular, then you can't have proper structure. Guess what, it's absolutely not the case, those 2 things are independant, and you can perfectly have a proper structure without the sport being poular at all.

explain how that works.

Funding and proper use of it to get the facilities and the coaches, league organizing sessions for coaches to learn how to coach and new tactical developments, good youth programs, and all this kind of stuff.

>Funding
Who pays for this if its not popular.
>facilities and the coaches
How do you get the facilities if there is no one to lease them out to.
>league organizing
What leagues? You're saying there is already magically grassroots infrastructure when no one even plays the sport.
>good youth programs
For all the youth who don't play lol

You're a dumbcunt mate. Everything you've said hinges on the sport actually having interest at grassroots level, which basketball doesn't have here.

Fucking relax kent
