Who really cares about rankings. It doesn't matter who is ranked number one in any sport, it's who wins the big games and tournaments.

Would a tennis player rather be number 1 or win a slam?

And as for those FIBA rankings, WE'VE GOT GOLD BABY!!!!!!!

Its ranked on points not opinion... i'm pretty sure. If Australia keeps winning tho they should wind up hitting that top spot anyway.
