After watching a few of the international basketball teams playing, I'm amazed at how everyone has seemed to approriate the American body language of sports: butt slaps, hand slaps, chest bumps, etc. How does this body language spread so quickly internationally? I always thought it was a peculiarly American thing, but now I see that I'm wrong. After the bronze finalist game, I watched Larry Brown give an approving butt slap to a passing Lithunian player, who took it in stride.
I have to wonder, do the Chinese and Russians butt slap, too? Hard to imagine.
