Which country is the second best in the world at Basketball, after the Yanks?
i think in yanks you mean the u.s i personally think spain is they made the finals last year for fiba and won gold medal plus they have pau gasol a worlds class pf and jose calderon a rising star and they have rudy fernandez who plays like manu ginobili he should be a stud they have marc gasol who is aggresive and averaged 12 and 7 in simply his rookie season and he should get even better plus the have navarro and garbahosa who are also good enough to play in the nba so it would have to be spain.
What are second world countries?
In the past we used the classifications of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th world countries. Because of geopolitical and economic changes since the end of the Cold War this system isn't as accurate as it used to be & it didn't account for differences within the spheres, for example, Mexico and Ethiopia were both classified as 3rd world countries at one point, even though there's a fairly wide gap between the 2. This classification system is being replaced with a sliding scale designation where the end points are more or less economically developed countries and developing countries that can be measured on an index. 1st World were advanced developed capitalist nations. (U.S., Canada, most of western Europe & Australia) 2nd World were advanced or relatively advanced communist countries. (U.S.S.R., China, Cuba) 3rd World were underdeveloped formal countries. 4th World described stateless ethnic groups. (Romani, Palestinians, Kurds)
What are the best basketball leagues in the world?
NBA and Euroleague are the top ones that come to mind. The NBA comprises of the world's BEST basketball players. Euroleague has a lot of people that feed into the NBA meaning there are some decent players but NBA has the highest concentration of them. Case in point, look at the Olympics. Spain's team is built with a lot of Euroleague (Sergio Llull) and ex-Euroleague players who are now or have played in the NBA at some point (Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, Rudy Fernandez, Nikola Mirotic, Sergio Rodriguez, Juan Carlos Navarro) exception being Serge Ibaka. Sure they can hang with the US, but they can never win. Why? Becuase the US team is built with not just any NBA players but the superstars of the NBA with Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Chris Paul, Stephen Curry arguably the best in the world at each of their positions. In summary, Euroleague is solid and one of the best in the world but the NBA is a whole different level.
What is the 3 second rule in basketball?
Basically, the 3 seconds rule; is a rule that a player must not stay in the paint more than 3 seconds.The area which is painted orange, is what we called “the paint”. This area is the closest area to the rim and is constantly used by the power forwards and centers.That’s basically it. Before I go, I’ll leave a trivia to here. This 3 second rule is founded because of Wilt Chamberlain. Chamberlain stays in the paint in every offense, and because he is 7′1′′, he was unstoppable in the game and officials later thought that Chamberlain’s play was unfair to the opponents.
Which is the fastest sports/game in the world ...basketball or hockey?
I played basketball in highschool and college. No way can someone "run" as fast as a hockey player "skates." That puck moves at speeds in excess of 90 mph ... nobody can "throw" a soft round ball that quickly nor that hard .... and yes I said "soft" ... compared to a hard, frozen puck a basketball is "soft"
Which are the best basketball positions?
Best as in best of the best, best at this moment or best to play?Best of the best may be center just because of all the dominate bigs to play the game wilt chamberlin, Bill Russell, and shaq jus to name a few. Shooting guard will likely be a runner up as many consider Micheal Jordan to be the greatest player ever ( I would agree). Best postion at the moment is point guard the best nba players at this point are ethier point forwards or point guards ethier way they have the majority of the ball handling duties think steph curry, westbrook, james harden and point forward as Lebron or giannas. Best to play is about personal preference is you have good ball handling skills youll like point guard there is something about setting up your teamates that just feels great or if you like to play more physical center is great and very fun. Of course what postion you play deoends on your hieght and weight if you are the smallest dude on your team expect to play ethier guard spot and be ready to have to handle the ball a lot and acore as well its honestly the best postion to be a guard as you control the game the offense is basically on you on both ends really because you have to guard the other guard whos has the job as you.

The best countries beside the USA are Spain, Serbia, France etc. But there was only once a team that could play ahainst the USA and it was Yugoslavia in 1991. The world cup was in 1992 and everyne was expecting the match USA - Yugoslavia.But something happened back there, Yugoslavia was devided and there were 6 countries made out of it.The USA -Yugoslavia game never happened and nobody knows what would be if the game was played. Yugoslavia had players like: Drazen Petrovic, Toni Kukoc, Vlade Divac, Dino Radza and many other top NBA players.The other question was leagues beside the NBA. The second league is Euroleague (some euroleague teams have won games against NBA teams in preseason). It is that good league that sometimes good NBA players can’t get any plauing time. But it is a way weaker than the NBA.Third league is the NBA-D League. Other good leagues are CBA, Australian, Spanish, Turkish, but the best two are Euroleague and the G League.
Which country has the best snipers?
There is an ultimate limit to the sight technology, eyesight, weapon technology, round technology etc. So the answer is that there is little difference between each countries snipers. Anyone who tells you that such and such unit is the best doesn't know what they are talking about. The question is who has the best sniper training and as most NATO units share their techniques then there is little difference there. These questions are silly. If you ask who is the best unit in the world then a follow on question is usually required. The question is usually at doing what. If you want to storm an airplane then maybe it's the SAS, storm an Oil rig, SBS. What about swim a mile underwater could be the seals. You might as well ask what is the best car in the world. Every one will have a different opinion.
Which basketball team is the best in Asia?
So far China’s national basketball team is considered as the best team in Asia. They are the highest ranked Asian team according to the FIBA world rankings, followed by Iran, the Philippines, Jordan and South Korea. Also, China is the recent Asian champions and they regularly qualify in the Olympics as the representative of Asia. However, FIBA decided to merge the Asian teams with Australia and New Zealand for the succeeding FIBA-sanctioned Asia-Pacific tournaments. Thus, China may no longer (technically) be considered as the premier basketball team in Asia in the near future.
