French are better at developing basketball players than America.  Our antiquated system of developing athletes is broken and needs to be fixed.

Sadly, dollars are more important than proper development

Basketball?  Yeah, I agree.  America is so far behind the development curve, it's disappointing.  We should have put together a developmental system decades ago to mirror what was being done internationally.  Instead, we continue the same old antiquated system and blame AAU, when we haven't presented an alternative.

No nation is prouder of its ignorance.  It's quite the conundrum that a nation as advanced as ours, continues to revel in ignorance and refuses to accept progress

About what?  The ignorance of Americans?  Yes, that reality has always been discouraging.

I blame a lot of things.  Religion, entertainment masquerading as news, jealousy, racism, sexism and poverty among other things.

it's an atrocity and everyone involved in the decision should be put into stocks in central park and pelted with rotten tomatoes. Al Michaels included for consenting to it.

I dunno but it was in Robert Wadlow"s hometown.  He was 8'11.  Sad he died so young and didn't hoop.

First job out of college was working in the Department of Interior, Bureau of Mines.
That was late 1980s.  Anyway, Southern Illinois have or had underground coal mines.
When they collapse it causes subsidence on the surface.  Not sure this is the case, but that was a big problem down there.

Untouchable.  And also even more hilarious cause it conjures up the image of a super tall lanky 6'8 dude in robes and a turban slicing through the lane.

Not the same, but similar.  My BIL once told me that they had an orthodox guy who used to play with them at the regular Sunday game at their Shul (its a really nice complex in NJ with a great full court, so lots of the guys in the area who used to hoop at a Y or a Equinox or the like in the city would play there, even assorted gentiles).  Anyways, dude used to be a high level prep school hooper who played low level D1 at a smaller school in the Northeast (forgot which one but something like an NEC school) before transitioning to a much more observant Jew in his late 20s.  So you had this 6'4 well built dude absolutely chopping 30s/40s dads up in a long beard, kippah, and tzitzit flowing.

Paternal grandfather was an Italian immigrant and factory worker.
Maternal grandfather was a Polish immigrant and farmer in northern Michigan.

My apologies, that exempts you from being bigoted since Italians and Polish are famously not that.
