One would tend to think that basketball, in China, is trying to take the ping out of the pong. It’s wild! It’s a frenzy! The game has been popular for many years. The interest and participation in the game keeps growing. It’s right up there, keeping pace with the mainland’s modernization. The Chinese love basketball. It’s here to stay, so who’s playing all the ball?
The CBA is China’s version of the NBA. The CBA is a state-owned organization. And now, it’s basketball championship time in China.They are the country’s best. It’s the players’ job to shoot hoops. They are provided for, they are professional. The entire country watches them on TV. But, the tube is not the only place where the sport is alive. Below the national level, courts all over the mainland are filled with team jerseys and super-sneakers. Not to mention, shoeless and half naked players in the country. Wherever you can plant a pole and attach a basket, you will find people driving for that fast lay-up.
