I assume it's better investment and cultural encouragement in facilities that produce great athletes.

The biggest universities in the west aren't filled with the brightest people, they're filled with the kids of the richest. Likewise sportshalls of all kinds are full of the people who can afford it.

The Soviet Union was also very good at sports and so were many of the Eastern European socialist countries like Romania. Socialism just makes you good at sports.

My dunking has improved since becoming ML, so you may be onto something.

I've started to fear my apparent awesome dunking power simply by being a person who doesn't believe obvious bullshit.
