Are those Chinese fans holding their hands over their hearts for our national anthem? They really do love us.

Its on your local NBC channel and on NBC Basketball channel. The basketball channel doesn't have the interviews, but it also doesn't have commercials

USA has the home court advantage. The Chinese fucking love American ball, and the photo the Spaniards did will get them very little local support.

There was a glimpse of some Spanish ball there. I expect them to pull it close by the half. Not much of a home court for USA, Chinese just want to see some high-flyan from either side

Incorrect. More people play basketball in China then anywhere else in the world. PROTIP: Europe is not the "rest of the world"

Not saying NBC is 100% correct or anything like that, but they have been saying that basketball has become the most popular and most watched sport in China. Maybe they are full of shit but either way, its very, very, popular.

How old is that picture? All they ever talk about during basketball time is how soccer has been surpassed and basketball is the biggest sport in China.

Yeah it's not like NBC is the one airing Basketball though, mirite? They're going to hype it obviously just like the NBA wants to for money reasons. Just like the NFL saying the Superbowl is aired in hundreds of countries to billions of people when in reality it has ~10 million viewers outside of the US. Or the BBC hyping the Olympics.

Like I said I have no idea which is more popular to play in China, you'd think Basketball would be more convenient for the urban population. But Football is definitely the biggest when it comes to viewers. If you think Kobe or the NBA is big in China.. check out Manchester United's following there.

Woah dude calm down. RAGE much? NBC says that "Some are saying it may have surpassed football" that's hardly undeniable proof. Like I said Basketball's big but Football remains the most watched sport. Hell most Football fans from around the world use Chinese software to stream games.

Yao ming is huge as an individual (since China really has no amazing football players) but Man UTD is HUGE in china. Why do you think teams are constantly making summer trips over there?
