First, no way in the world do I think there are nearly that many Basketball fans. There aren’t that many people in the nations listed. And if there were that many Chinese playing basketball, you’d have to expect them to dominate. Because, yes, young Chinese are as tall as anyone else. Instead, China went 0-5
Just being tall doesn’t make one good at basketball.
See tall White people like Shawn Bradley, or those
other guys sitting on the bench.
If computer programming was a sport, the Chinese would be good.
I’ve noted that the world’s 4 most populous countries: China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and the US, all stink at Soccer.
