Why the Swedes are bad at basketball

The Swedes have a reputation for being among the tallest people in the world, but it hasn't done much for their men's Olympic basketball performance. (They last qualified in 1980--and even then, they didn't do so well). While the basketball woes of Swedish men certainly stem from the confluence of a variety of factors, I believe I've discovered evidence in Göteborg which reveals the fundamental defect in the Swedish basketball training program.

Beach volleyball, yes. Beach basketball, not so much.

Ever try to dribble a basketball on sand? Me neither. Pretty much explains it, I think.
