all the countries you have mentioned, have the culture of their own.
sport would be a profession for them. they may not have great sport shoes or coash or court or even a proper ball court, but they have determination.
they value and treasure sports with passion.

what hk kids treasure are more on great jersey, great ball shoes.. rather than fundamental skills..
that's what i think.

addition, hey, we have PS2, Xbox, TVB, KTV, Magazines, internet.. and all these. all these are comfortable way of entertainment.

hk is too comfortable for inducing fighting spirit...
