Where do you think the Spurs rank among the most popular NBA teams outside the U.S

[Yorae]

In Philippines we have:

1. Lakers (Kobe's nut hugger)
2. Celtics (after the champhionship)
3. Bulls (because of Jordan era)
4. bandwagonners
5. spurs

But lately I've been seeing so many people wearing spurs jersey here in POTOS.....

[Yuixafun]

Would be rad to see Manny Pacquiao rocking a Spurs cap.

At the moment...

1) Lakers
2) Celtics
3) Cavaliers
4) Rockets
5) Bulls
6) Spurs

... but in saying that... opinions can change according to the flavour of the month. In NZ I've been seeing alot of Pierce and Garnett Celtic's jersey since the last playoffs. I love bandwagoners!

[Longley]

I can say in Estonia(Baltic states) are a lot of Lakers/Boston/Cavs fans. They dont like Spurs very much, but I do.

Would be rad to see Manny Pacquiao rocking a Spurs cap.

PackMan wore Tim Duncan's jersey before his fight with Morales(not sure) in Las Vegas.

Not very high. But actually in France (I can't speak for other countries) people roots for players (Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Paul... and IVERSON...wtf), not for teams.

[spursfan1000]

Spurs are defenatly top 5 with Duncan,Manu,Parker,Fabrico all international.

[sonic21]

in france, they're still behind the lakers, knicks and bulls.

IMO, we lost a lot of fanship with the Los Spurs jerseys.....I think we alienated half the latin population....cause we mocked their language, even if we were supposed to be honoring it.

Knicks ? i don't think so

and Rockets, in number of people, yes because of China, but in others countries, not at all.

Spurs, thank to TP and Manu (France, Argentina and a lot of european and south american fabs) and all the les, even if not so hyped, should be in the TOP 5 right now IMO.

Agree.Here in Spain i don't know any fan of the Rockets.

[Rapper]

In China, people don't kiss the Celtics ass

[Josepatches_]

here the TOP 10 of the most sold jerseys in Europe:

1 - Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers
2 - Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics
3 - Pau Gasol, Los Angeles Lakers
4 - LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers
5 - Tony Parker, San Antonio Spurs
6 - Allen Iverson, Denver Nuggets
7 - Andra Bargnani, Toronto Raptors
8 - Dywane Wade, Miami Heat
9 - Marco Belinelli, Golden State Warriors
10 - Jose Calderon, Toronto Raptors

These list aren't enough real to see the preferences of fans from Europe because you can't buy all the NBA jerseys in Europe if you only buy the official NBA jerseys for Europe made by Champion.Those ones you can find in the sports stores.

In Spain you can buy Calderon,Garbajosa,Sergio Rodriguez,Rudy or Gasol's ones anywhere,even Bargnani's ones but you can't find TD's ones for example.I guess it happens the same in another countries.Maybe not in France because the Spurs are TP's team.
Champion Europe only sell NBA jerseys for european players or superstars very popular like Kobe,Garnett,Iverson,Wade.....Even it was easy to find Manu's ones here because he played in Europe.

I said this becasue it's pretty obvious TD has more fans in Europe than Bargnani

[Lakers999]

wow los angeles is such a draw still... I lived in LA my entire life born and raised and I actually travel to Texas every month for work and it suprises me that the Mavericks get no recognition I thought the Germans would go ape over Dirk but i guess not

my fav cities in Texas
1. Austin (6th street HOLLER)
2. San Antonio (Spurs of course)
3. Houston (Hillcroft and Treasures)
4. Dallas (just another set of Orange County rejects)
