Hoops stars draw whoops in China

cool article.

basketball is basketball no matter where you play it, they love it for the game. As american we just don't enjoy it like they do? we over analize evrything!

Agreed....that was a cool article.

I second the second. Cool article.

and got a kick out the the Chinese cheering the loudest when their favorite players (especially Kobe) was shooting free throws! Too funny... with friends like that, who needs enemies?!

The Chinese do love the NBA, and just look at the NBA forming NBA China and hiring Tim Chen (former CEO of Microsoft China) to head it up. NBA in China is going big places. How long until a team moves to Shanghai instead of Oklahoma City. I think the 25 million people here can support the team much better than OKC.

Good article !

8 seconds left in the Gold Medal Game. US v. Russia.
AK has the ball at the top of the key, Russia is down by one. With Lebron guarding him, he shakes free and in the process causes Lebron to blow out his knee. Drives the lane and gives Kobe a Tea-bag facial Dunk to win the gold. Utah then uses AK's new trade value and swaps him straight up with Orlando for Dwight Howard.

Now that's an Olympic Dream

Utah getting DHoward that is an Olympic Dream. I would give up Boozer and AK for him. Imagine the 2 Ds working the inside. That would be awesome.

Chungching, with 30 million inhabitants and a geographic size as large as the country of Austria is the largest city in China...and they all LOVE the NBA players...they are FANTASTIC!
