Well if American Football was in the Olympics, it would literally be the US vs Canada. At least other countries actually care enough about Basketball to have teams. Baseball was worse, but I doubt Basketball will last very long. Unless the US is funneling giant wads of cash to the IOC for it or something. | ||

IOC gets free viewership and advertisement from American and international NBA stars. Basketball is one of the only non-soccer professional sports that is popular globally. | ||
