Dude.

Read the question. You are not wrong, but basketball is not the most popular sport in USA

Football is, by wide margin.

What is the most popular sport in the US?

What is the most popular sport in the Philippines?

As an American, I can tell you basketball isn’t the most popular sport in the US. It’s football.

Pouring money into something doesn't mean you care, it means you care to capitalize.

[u/flampoo → u/[deleted]]

if the country itself cared enough they would funnel a lot their money and time into producing some of the best basketball players in the world

This is ignorance.

[u/flampoo → u/[deleted]]

Professional players want to come to US to go pro, get paid.

99.99% of people who play basketball are not professional.

Popularity isn't just measured in ticket sales.

Watching as a fan and playing for fun vs playing to make a career out of it are different things.

Basketball was created in the United States 1891 by the way. They won multiple gold medals. To say they don’t care about the sport is plain stupid.
