Actually I have provided the same answer when someone asked what's the best sport.\n\nWell, here is again. First, we need to understand we have to use how many people participate this sport. Second, the data has to be relevant and credential to be evaluated. Third, it should not be biased.\n\nThe most popular sport in the world is Volleyball in terms of how many people participated.\n\nThe following is the list:\nVolleyball\nBasketball\nTable Tennis\nSoccer\nBadminton\nTennis\nBaseball\nDragonboat Racing\nTeam Handball\nHockey\n\nIn 2002, there were 998 million of people participated this game. Not to count how many people who watched the game.\n\nCheck the following website for this information!\n\nAmerican football is not even on the list!

The NBA of course. Sure the and1 players might be athletic, better at getting past their defender and playing their man one on one but concerning overall skills you have to give it to the NBA. In the end it takes the whole team executing to win a game not just individual players.

Soccer!! All you do is run run run. Football you stop way to much. The average play is around 6 seconds. Basketball is pretty good unless you warm the bench. Baseball you don't move around to much. Volleyball not to much movement. Tennis you do go back and forth but thats not constant and you never get a huge take off somewhere. Its limited. \n\nSo Soccer then Basketball!!!

Shahz you have no idea what you're talking about. Soccer is currently the global sport. Basketball and Rugby(yes Rugby) aren't far behind. As for the top American sport: Football.

I agree in that I prefer college basketball over the NBA.\n\nI feel that the defense and offense in the NBA is formulaic.  Players have seen all the plays, traps, know the ins and outs, and knook and cranny of the basketball court.  I feel that this only limits as to what an accomplished NBA basketball player can do in terms of mobility and shot selection.  The only time is when one of those players (perhaps Kobe, definitely MJ) can break through that mundane mindset and trap, that make the game interesting and worth every minute at the water cooler.\n\nCollege basketball players live for the moment, and play every game with as much enthusiasm, heart, and passion.  Perhaps it is their sense of discovery or purpose as young, budding players that make them hit the floor, make the sharp cuts, and dance uncontrollably when their teammate hits that floater to create that improbable upset.  Stories are defined and created in a single game, reputations earned or destroyed with a buzzer beater, and dynasties created through established traditions.
