Matsui is only still relevant because of his massive porn collection. I'm beat on the Ichiro point though. 7/8/2011 11:54:45 PM |

It's all about politics. China needs a representative. 8/16/2011 5:24:00 PM |

The basketball situation in China is pretty interesting.
The state-run basketball program has the top coaching, equipment, etc. that only a select few get to use. Children are specifically groomed to be basketball players and some selected for the program are as young as 7. Naturally, when you are trying to guess how good a child will be at basketball, height is a major indicator. China is now left with a squad of tall players but no skill position players like pg.
This is a obviously a contrast to America's basketball grooming environment where everyone has access to some coaching and equipment and the best players at skill positions evolve overtime by playing against one another. 8/16/2011 5:37:36 PM |

State run systems are better for things like gymnastics but I think competitive and decentralized systems are better for team sports.
