That's all I know what people I've met from some of those countries, such as China (very populer), USA, France etc. Spain seems to be big on the sport as well, Turkey is developing into the sport. I'm from the UK and Ireland. Basketball is played, though not as much compared to other sports, not many would take it into profession, only the very few in England who made it into the NBA, but we don't even know thier names. Basketball is played in playgrounds, it's only really the very few would follow the NBA. So far those who follow Basketball are like overseas Chinese students and the British born Chinese.
Hope this helps
The game of basketball is played on a world wide basis. Because of that, it is an Olympic sport. The center of basketball is the US, where a Canadian invented it. The list of nations that play the sport is too long to list, however, to explain the span of its popularity better, it is played in Europe and Australia.
The United States and most of Europe are the big basketball places, but China, Japan, the Philippines, Australia India, and most countries play it.
