N B A In China

The National Basketball Association meets China this week with a series of pre-season matches between the Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets, whipping up a basketball fever that has driven ticket prices to astronomical heights, and provoking debate on the impact of this latest American invasion on the local sports industry.

I think it is good to promote the NBA globally, and to reach out to world countries, because it is evident from the last World Championships and Olympics that there is a lot of talent outside the US.
