Any hardcore fans know about it.
And casual fans all know about it now because the roster just got released so it's all over ESPN :)
It's not really an issue here, since basketball is a major sport in America.
Basketball fans in general know about it, especially if their team qualified. But it's unknown to non-fans, whereas Soccer's world cup brings in non-fans anyways. Still a clash of countries and fun competition though.
