Why are you putting Yao up there? Yeah there's a billion people in China, but I doubt the 600 million peasant farmers who have never looked at a tv or newspaper know who he is. And outside of the US basketball isn't even all that popular.

and how do those 600 million people who have never seen a picture of anyone ever know who any of these people are? Everyone in China knows Yao and apparently he's big in India too.

Schumacher is not well known outside Europe and there just aren't many people there.

Luckyjimm, how do you not know any of these people? I assumed most people with access to the internet and being in 1st world countries would know the vast majority or all of them.
