User talk:Mchappo/Basketball in Australia compared to the USA

You have a lot to cover in here. Comparing the status of Basketball, from a local to international scale, of Australia and the USA, in itself could well make up a 2000 word essay. Simply describing the experience of the sport for children in both countries, the prospects of playing both socially and competitively, that marketing targets different age groups - not to mention cultural groups.. then the professionalisation of the sport nationally in each country, and the status of their national teams in the Olympics and Paralympics. That's a lot.. which could be squeezed in, being careful to describe the intersections of business and politics at every stage. Leighblackall 04:32, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

I thought today's news about insuring Bogut to play in NBL during an NBA lockout was informative about the difference! Postillion 23:09, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
