Basketball isn't a huge sport over here... Compared to football (I mean
real football, where the ball is round and kicked instead of carried), rugby league and rugby union (like American football without helmets, padding or cheerleaders) and cricket (a bit like baseball, but with cucumber sandwiches and Twinings tea -
with milk - instead of foot-long hotdogs and Budweiser), it has a much, much smaller following. Most folks here wouldn't be able to name any players from
British basketball teams, never mind
American ones
Actually, my home town of Sunderland used to have a pretty good team... I must look them up and see if they're still competing...
