CUBA
Now I can’t begin to tell you who is playing this game, but this is not a basketball game between Cuba and the People’s Republic of China. That’s what I thought it was when I first crossed the channel surfing the TV one night. But then the crowd caught my attention. But then everyone playing is definitely Chinese. From what I can gather, CUBA is Chinese University Basketball Association or the equivalent of the NCAA.But what is really interesting is the organization of this crowd. Now can you see the Duke Rowdies dressing up to sit like this for a game? (Double click to blowup for a closer look.) The Dukies may be coordinated, but they have nothing on CUBA. Notice the colors are the coordinated uniforms by the fans. They have a different dance group for every timeout. There are coordinated huge flags paraded across the court regularly. And the crowd has banners they hold up frequently in unison to the situation. Unbelievably coordinated! And the players are pretty good too!
