2nd best sport is feasible. No way basketball can take over soccer.
成为第二运动倒是有可行性的。但篮球不可能取代足球成为世界第一运动。

Even 2nd is pretty hard considering that Cricket is way more of an international sport than basketball
印度裔老哥：即使成为第二大运动也很难，考虑到板球这项运动比篮球要国际化得多。

The last world cup was seen by like 2.2 billion people which is waaay more than any NBA finals/season. (fixed incorrect info sorry)
I think its decently popular in England, Australia, South Africa, Pakistan
还是那位印度裔老哥：上一届板球世界杯吸引了大概22亿观众，这比任何一届NBA总决赛/常规赛都要多太多了。（楼下帮我更正了错误信息，不好意思了各位jr）
我觉得这项运动在英格兰、澳大利亚、南非和巴基斯坦都挺流行的。

Well, the tournament had 2.2 billion, but the highest match was 1 billion: India v Pakistan.
Both much higher than basketball but the difference is 1.2 billion people.
em，那届世界杯是总共加起来有22亿观众收看，但收看比赛的观众人数最多的那场是10亿，对阵双方为印度和巴基斯坦。
这两个数字都比篮球收视要高得多，不过真正起决定性作用的是那12亿人。

My man, 30% of the world did not watch a cricket match, regardless of it’s importance. I’d need to see multiple vouches for that number. Even Ja Rule couldn’t convince me of that shit.
老兄，不论板球这项运动到底有多重要，都绝对不可能有占世界人口百分之三十的观众看了场板球比赛。我需要看到更多的关于这个数据的权威认证。你就说破天也没用。

No, 2.2 billion people watched the entire event.
But an estimated 1 billion watched the match between Pakistan and India

不，是总共有22亿人观看了整届比赛。
但据估计有10亿人看了巴基斯坦对阵印度的比赛。

No international basketball competition can rival the prestige and attention of the World Cup, Euros or even the drama of Copa America.
没有一项国际篮球比赛的声誉和关注度能和世界杯或欧洲杯相提并论。甚至连美洲杯的闹剧也胜过一筹。
There's no excitement in international basketball. The NBA itself is not big enough to overcome all of the different domestic leagues, Champions League and international competitions.
国际篮球比赛就是豪无刺激性可言。NBA本身又不足以强大到能超越各国的国内足球联赛、欧冠和其他国际赛事。

This . As much as the viewer number may increase individual countries feel much more involved with soccer due to National teams competitions and better representation in actual players.
如上。而且，就算NBA的观众数量大幅度增加，各国还是会更专注于足球。因为在足球界，国家队间的竞争很有看点，球员们的实力水平也更好一些。
Pick any random country in Europe ,Africa or south and Central America +Japan,Korea,Australia. They would most likely have at least 1-2 players playing in the highest level to inspire the youth . In Basketball outside of like 10 Europe countries and some other random ones there isnt much representation at the highest level
欧洲、非洲、南美洲、美洲中部、日本、韩国和澳大利亚这些地区随便哪个国家都很可能有至少1到2个球员在最高级别联赛里踢球，从而为年青一代起到了激励的作用。而在篮球世界，除了大概十个欧洲国家和别的某些国家，大部分地区都没有什么球员在最高级别舞台上竞技。
Also a country like Japan,Korea,Nigeria can make a great run in the World cup and their whole engagement with soccer can change overnight and for a very long time because the world cup is that much of a deal . Also people have a far greater variety of top level leagues and tournaments to watch and a very very large number of teams are at the Kings-GSW quality gap compared to top European teams .
而且，对日本、韩国和尼日利亚这样的国家来说，只要在世界杯里取得不错的成绩，他们全国对足球的热情就可在一夜之间发生巨大变化，并持续很长一段时间，因为世界杯就是有那么重要。此外，在足球界，观众的顶级赛事观赛选择更多，有各种各样的联赛和锦标赛可以看。即使有非常非常多的球队和顶尖欧洲足球队间的差距等同于国王和勇士的距离。
Also the fandom is much more lively and passionate compared to the NBA. In 70% of the world you can go to your local teams match, scream your lungs our, wave a flag and be part of this all ecompassing soccer crowd maddness which is promoted and still exists in the highest level.Its more accessible and stimulating.The nba for all its merrits promotes a different kind of fan aproach ,more american and sterilized and maybe that holds it back a little too
而且相较NBA，足球迷对本运动的热爱更具备活力和激情。世界百分之七十的地区都有自己的足球队，你可以到现场观看比赛，在观众席上扯着嗓子高呼，挥动旗帜，成为周围足球狂热气氛的一部分。而顶级赛事主打的就是这种氛围。足球比赛更亲民和振奋人心。NBA优点很多，但它推广的是一种不同的球迷参与方式，更美国，更没有发展后劲，可能一定程度上阻碍了自身的发展。

also Africa in cases such as the Ivory Coast or Liberia or Egypt, or various countries in Asia such as Korea post 02 WC etc.
Honestly besides NA I feel like soccer is p big p much everywhere else.
在非洲也是如此。比如科特迪瓦、利比里亚和埃及。还有亚洲的一些国家，例如2002年世界杯后的韩国等等。
讲真，除了北美洲，我觉得足球在世界上其他地方都挺热门的。

Even North America includes soccer-crazed Mexico and several similar-minded Central American countries, and even the Caribbeans too. And basketball isn’t even 2nd in Mexico, likely boxing is.
即使是北美洲也包括对足球很狂热的墨西哥和其他中美洲国家，即使加勒比人也很喜欢足球。在墨西哥篮球甚至都排不上第二。排第二的大概是拳击。
Basketball’s growing and it’s structured in an “easy to watch, easy to play” digestible way, but it’d be several lifetimes before it somehow finds a way to pass soccer for #1.
篮球运动在不断发展，也容易消化（易于观看，易于上手）。但要想超越足球成为第一大运动，它还有起码几百年的路要走，就这还不一定能走到呢。

Literally not possible
Simply because basketball requires height, the best talent play in USA and its not spread out and timezones make it impossible for more than half of the world to watch it, also hoops/courts are more rare
根本不可能。
原因很简单，篮球需要身高；最有天赋的球员都在美国打球而不是分散在全球；时差让世界超过的人口无法观看比赛。而且篮筐和球场相对较少。
Soccer (football) is the simplest sport and will always have more fans, a ball and two rocks and u can play, also its tradition to a lot more countries
Although basketball is gonna grow a lot
足球是最简单的运动，并将永远会有更多球迷。只要有一个足球和两块石头你就能开踢了，而且这项运动对于很多国家来说是一项传统。
不过嘛，篮球的确会得到很大发展。

Simply because basketball requires height
This is the most important point. For futbol, you can be someone like Messi (5'7") or Maradona (5'5"), and still be one of the best in the world.
“原因很简单：篮球需要身高...”

i mean its literally a sport where you cannot play it competitively unless you are athletically built and around 6'1-6'3 or taller, that also comes with significant talent
say whatever you want but i dont care how talented you are, 5'9-5'11 is still 5'9-5'11, theres a HANDFUL of players that have ever even been basic nba level talent at that height
篮球这项运动吧，除非你的运动能力很强，而且身高在一米八五到一米九左右（或者更高），那你是不可能打出水平的。而这些条件是很吃天赋的。
说啥都没用，我也不管你多天赋禀异，不够高就是不够高。身高位于一米七五到一米八之间还能达到NBA基本水平的球员寥寥无几。
