Wow, an actual video on KZbin of Americans actually respecting Canadians. Although we share a continent, kids in Canada, are taught and trained the FIBA style of basketball. They fuse that with the admiration of the NBA game if and when they go to the states for prep school and college. Elite Canadian players are placed into the national team program rather than creating some sort of AAU team. With regards to talent, the greater Toronto area is a hot bed for players. The sport itself is popular across the country for boys and girls. There are lots of us that haven't even tried to play hockey because it's so expensive to join. Basketball and Soccer are normal avenues for kids to sign up for. Yes, we have winter. But it isn't snowing all year round. Shocking, I know.

It’s time to accept that if USAB doesn’t win Gold, it’s okay. It is a true global game.

Appreciate the shout out to Leo Rautins. Most fans in Canada werent old enough to watch him play so our exposure to him is as a longtime Raptors tv commentator. Most dont realize he was a gifted player back in the day.

As someone from Serbia, I can only tell you that it is quite awkward that we are in the same group. We count you and us in the final. South Sudan is just as tricky

You've pretty much turned the show into the NBA today 24/7/365/off-season/ Gleague. The damn Sumner games don't even count and you're just still talking like it's the finals. I just stopped watching and listening after 10 years.

The general vibe I get, the average American would be peeved if we lose to any Europe team. Canada are our friendly neighbors and we like them. If we lose it’ll be like “oh you got us eh? good job neighbors to the north” But your average American does not like Europe and Europeans 😂 Canada would be a friendly rival, france would be a legit RIVAL rival.
