Would you still watch the games? | Um...Have you checked pro basketball lately? 2 of the top 10 draftee's in 2006 to include the #1 guy was from overseas. 6 of the top 30 projected in 2007 are from abroad. 15 years ago this was unheard of. Globalization. The USA teams are filling spots on rosters with "foreigners"....AND because of it the competition has gotten better because instead of just drawing from US players we now draw from a global pool of players....Better teams...better games...guess who wins...? THE FAN which is the consumer.
