If basketball players are not known world....

So I guess the players on the Dream Team wasn't world known in 92 either.

I guarantee you if you asked people in the UK "Who was on the Dream Team in 1992", 99% would have no idea you were even talking about Olympic Basketball, much less name the players. Then they'd guess Michael Jordan because that would be the only Basketball name they know (Space Jam and all that)

If LeBron and Kobe are not worldwide, then I wonder how they both sell millions in merchandise worldwide?

No, like i just replied.


To give you an idea, their are 2 main network tv channels the olympics will be shown on, BBC 1 and BBC 2. Basketball will be shown on neither of these channels.

It will only be on interactive services or BBC 3(obscure 'cable' only channel).

Name 5 other athletes in the olympics (excluding usain) from any country what are more known then these people
I don't know who are in the Olympics this year, but I know American sports stars aren't that popular in the UK from living there.
