Why does India always do so poorly in the Olympics

[AintNoSunshine]

I don't think they even have one single old in the history of the Olympics

Only if rape is an Olympic sport...












































US would be their only rival, led by none other than Kobe of course.

The 3 greatest Indian basketball players are Bollar, some other guy I can't remember the name) and Satnum Singh. And all 3 of those guys have been in the NBA long enough to get a cup of coffee. None will ever be anything more than a 15th man off the bench if they are lucky.

India may not push basketball that much, but it doesn't appear they have a lot of talent in that area either. Just because they haven't practiced as much doesn't mean they would be capable of producing athletes good at basketball.

That is why you rarely see players from certain countries ever playing for the NBA much less competing in the Olympics via basketball.

There is always enough talent in a population of 1.3 billion.

Problem is that they just don't have the resources (they could easily if they wanted to) to train these kids (voluntarily train) from a very young age. If India really cared they could hire a ton of amazing instructors and popularize the sport and in 20 years they will start pumping out NBA players.

They have 26 total medals (all time medal count) when you combine the summer and Olympic games.

I stood behind an Indian at a pedestrian crossing yesterday, and when it went green she was incredibly slow off the mark.

Bad genetics.

Because they don't care. And rightfully so. They have bigger problems to deal with.

But they don't do anything about those either.

India is a shit country.

They have done a lot. India, China, and Brazil have made a lot of progress over the last few decades. China has made the most but many people have some qualms about how they've gone about it (Great Leap Forward etc).

You'll notice China started doing well after its industrialisation period...

Give India time.
