My favorite teams
Wouldn't be surprised. People in China tend to really only like the super popular players. A few years ago it was all about Kobe, TMac, Iverson, and Yao (duh). Rose definitely fits the mold to be a stud in China. Him and Durant...

They really like Rose,Howard and Kobe if I'm correct. I would say Kobe will more than likely start disappearing over their as he gets older and as Derrick gets better.

Yeah, outside of Yao, they seemed to like all the guys the NBA and ESPN hyped up.

LeBron James is the most popular player in China behind Yao.

meh, can't really blame this one on ESPN...
Who are the greatest soccer players in the world? Messi and Ronaldo. Not b/c ESPN hypes them, but b/c they are.

When it comes to NBA players, its the ESPN hype machine. Their contract with the NBA makes them do that.
LeBron being the "chosen one" not because he is, it's because ESPN says he is. They compared him to Mike and stuff like that. They forcefeed certain things to people when it comes to NBA players. In other sports not really the case.

For NBA, ESPN is the main if not the only cable network regularly broadcasting games. At least speaking from visiting Asia, it's either ESPN/Star Network or a local station. The ESPN influence is definitely there.
Rose will do well in Asia, and this first trip to the Philippines will be a great intro for him.

Rose needs to have a ."points-for-me" session next season. Become the scoring champ in his fourth season and a Championship- he will become #1b. Yao will always be #1a- hometown heros become legends.

...No. Getting stingy won't bring him both a scoring title and championship. I'll take a championship title over a scoring title any day...
