Alex Holmes, Toronto, New South Wales.What do you think of this letter to Time Magazine about Basketball in the Beijing Olympics?
I think the chances of it ever getting published are about slim and none, since the Olympics ended over 6 weeks ago. You might want to work on your timeliness. That is a very lengthy and well thought out letter, so it probably took you some time to compose it, so I'll cut you some slack.
FYI, basketball was one of the hottest tickets at the Olympics and the NBA is EXTREMELY popular in China. Ever heard of Yao Ming? He's kinda famous there. I'd agree that Lebron was not the most popular NBA athlete participating. For some reason, they were more fascinated with Kobe Bryant. I understand the NBA may not be big in New South Wales, but it is a pretty big deal in many other countries. Including the one where Time Magazine originated.
EDIT: Nevermind. lol. I misunderstood. I think the person who wrote it obviously doesn't understand the global reach of the NBA. The NBA players were some of the biggest stars in Beijing, so I think his opinion is a little off the mark.What do you think of this letter to Time Magazine about Basketball in the Beijing Olympics?
Kobe was the #1 basketball Athlete to watch , I seem to recall Kobe score 13pts in the 4th quarter against Spain in the Championship game, while LeBron James did nothing at all, in fact Kobe was just so loved in China they gave him a bigger ovation than Yao, and his jersey is the #1 seller in both China and Europe.What do you think of this letter to Time Magazine about Basketball in the Beijing Olympics?
Basketball is one of the fastest growing sports in the world...and in many European countries its popularity is only eclipsed by soccer...and in china basketball is an obsession....i dont think mr alex holmes knows what hes talking about
