When you first think of NBA Basketball Betting the USA must come high up in your thinking, because America and Basketball goes together like Chalk and Cheese or Ducks and water.
As a country they are that far ahead of everyone else (although Russia and Canada are improving) you could get the best player from every leading country put them all together and I am convinced they would still get destroyed by any team the US put together.
Look at the Olympics Basketball bet, they win gold medals without really breaking into sweats and I know this is largely due to their college draft system which sorts out the best players from the bad and gets them involved with Pro teams quickly to advance their talents but they could not play Soccer twenty years ago now they are in the top 20 in the world rankings so they must do something correct so why can’t the rest of us??
Growing up as a child I always can remember them big trainer boots ‘Nike Air Jordan’s’ who were endorsed by possibly the best basketball bet player to ever live Michael Jordan who together with the Chicago Bulls won many NBA titles and took the sport global with many countries now having established leagues, but except for a few countries like Spain, Russia, Canada and the US who have a Professional format the rest are all Amateurs playing in front of next to no one and having to have full time jobs to pay bills.
So to close, unless the rest of the world does not take Americas stance on Basketball in terms of revenue being pumped into the sport the Americans will dominate it for another century as well.

With the new season only 4 weeks away now I would like to give my views on who will be challenging for the title, and who will be fighting to stay in the Premiership.

As per usual the title will be between the usual suspects, Man-Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool but I expect there to be a couple of surprise title challenges this year from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa, Tottenham will be a lot stronger this year with new manager Ramos now beginning to put together the team he would to have and with his tactical awareness and his ability to get that bit extra out of ordinary players will be a big plus for Tottenham and could see them end up in a Champions League spot come May, Villa however are starting to rebuild, with Barry’s likely departure to Liverpool expected to be confirmed next week Villa’s manager Martin o’ Neil has already filled his boots with the acquisition of Sidwell from Chelsea for a reported 5 million pounds.
But If I was to stick my neck on the block I think the title will be going to Stamford Bridge this season, with so much talent already there and with the likely introduction’s of some of the best talent in the world and when you couple that with Ronaldo’s desire to join Real Madrid I can only see the Championship ending up at West London.
At the other end the new boys of hull City and Stoke City have it all to do and to be honest I think they have bitten off more than they can chew and will both go back down along with Fulham who I think have been lucky to stay up for quite a few years now and this season will be the one that will see them fall through the trap door back to the Coca Cola Championship.
