A good read on basketball in China. If that population picks up on basketball that could mean a big influx of talent picking up over the next 30 years. India is starting to pick up on basketball as well.

Just don't play in the Muslim league, they are very pissed off.

China is an untapped commodity, on and off the court. I read during the last Olympics that there are more people in China that play recreational basketball then all of the people in the US! That's crazy!

I read that if you piled all the dollar bills we owe them it would stretch to the Moon, and is moving outward at 1% the speed of light.

Of the five Chinese players to play in the NBA only one was worth a damn.

It's also a little sketchy when you look at these prospects because you just might be drafting a 24 y/o who enters the draft as "documented" 19 y/o, kinda like Yi.
