Baseball is the biggest sport in Japan, then soccer, and basketball is... People don't really care about basketball.

In America, we have three major sports - baseball, football and basketball. They get the most coverage. Then there's things like golf which mop up most of what is left. But track and field? We are way at the bottom of the totem pole.

It's good for basketball to grow.

You have to remember that baseball really was the American pastime in the Forties, not football, basketball or any other sport.
We want to take boxing to the level of cricket.

Badminton is not as glamorous as cricket.
