It's true, of course. "The World Series" is one of the great misnomers.
It will be interesting to see how Americans (and I am one, incidentally, having received my citizenship in 1994), will react should basketball attain the global reach it is working for. Will there ever be a competitive basketball World Cup, and if there is, will Americans embrace this threat to their preeminence or will they treat it as an oddity, much as I look upon the FIFA Club World Cup?
