Taking p*ss requires tact, you're just throwing immature comments around and laughing at your own jokes like a school kid.

let's see i've managed to make you - bite repeatedly - prove you fail comprehension - resort to making more than enough blind as sumptions coz you've got nothing. - look like a complete hyprocrite by continually replying when you say it's below you. i think you've amused me enough my friend.

I'll agree with the bite repeatedly bit, but how did you make me fail comprehension? Answer it honestly. What as.sumptions did I make? How am I hypocritical by responding to you - Yes, you're below me Craig, doesn't mean I have to stop talking... tho good advice, coz this is clearly gonna go round in circles Nighty night princess.

This nbl 0%, are you getting your statistics from the Orlando area or are you an armchair critic of Australia from afar? Or option C, you're an expat of some sort who therefore understands the current situation over here....?

I hear Clint_Dogg needs a crew. You seem to think that because you throw out inane comments that somehow this is "thinking for yourself", when in fact all you are doing is hoping that *someone* will pay attention to you. You're no better than the sheep on reality programs. I can imagine how mundane you're life must be when you have a superiority complex on a freaking sports forum. Keep it up Napolean.......

only read the first post but what this really says is sydney is not interested in basketball. you ask these same questions on the streets of perth, adelaide, townsville, cairns, even melbourne & brisbane and you'll get a much healthier response.

seems like an awfully high percentage of the population (or at least your sample population) are playing competition basketball, that's nearly 50%! yet so little of them have heard of most NBL teams? Does anyone else see a contradiction here? Ask any kid who plays weekend footy if they've heard of any of the AFL clubs and you'd be sure that 100% of them would of heard of every single club and could probably name several players on each team. My point is that if the interest in the sport is high enough to warrant your participation in a competitive league then that same interest would normally carry over into the national league. Even if their main interest lies in the NBA, they'd still have some interest in their own national comp.

Perhaps it would have been good to ask if they had heard of some of the more famous NBA teams (Lakers, Celtics) as a comparison to see where the interest lies.

yeah it was really high i was shocked also, however in sydney what i have found from most of the people in local comps at my association is that theres a *****load of people that play, but thats mainly due to friendships and social reasons, not because they particularly like the sport, it seems quite interchangeable with futsal etc
