Guangdong Retains CBA Championship
The
Guangdong Tigers won the CBA Championship 4-1 with a 106-95 victory in the deciding game in Dongguan in early May. It is the fifth time in six seasons that the Guangdong team has captured the national basketball title in China. Several former NCAA athletes play in the league, including Smush Parker, formerly of Fordham and the Denver Nuggets.
Congratulations to the Tigers! One of my biggest regrets is not getting to see a CBA game while I was in China.

Basketball in China
The one thing I have not gotten to do in China, that I have desired since arriving, is to attend a basketball game here. I posted about how the television broadcasts look so enjoyable, and really wanted to go for myself. Only luck and timing have not been on my side. There are no more local games this year, since they shortened the local league's season so that the National Team is in preparation for the Olympics.
Nonetheless, I have met one of the American stars in the league, Jason Dixon.
