The Dutch might be the tallest people in the world, but hardly anyone in Holland plays basketball... well maybe some people play it, but nobody watches it, seriously.
Unless of course you mean
korfball, which is pretty popular here and could well be the silliest sport ever invented.
In Europe basketball is only really popular in Eastern Europe and the Balkans I think.
Don't know who would be the most influential figure in world sport... but I'm going to say Pele or Carl Lewis.
