China Loves Basketball

 

NBA Commissioner David Stern was interviewed yesterday on NBC Sports on a show titled ”China’s passion for basketball”. Stern shared his thoughts on the state of basketball in China, the 1936 Chinese basketball team that participated in the Olympics (who finished 18th out of 23 teams), the NBA’s ambitions in China, and the power of sports and how along with fashion and music is the only area that can truely unite the world.

Best part of the interview no doubt is David Stern cracking a humorous yet potentially risky joke on China and Basketball:
“I’m pretty sure they think they invented it”
