I just found this today. Am I the only one who thinks this is really cool?

Just a year ago, the Pacers were nobodies and now the NBA is sending us to China and Taiwan and represent the NBA. The article says we will play Denver, one game in Taiwan and one game in China. Both games I guess will be shown on US tv, which i assume espn or nba tv. Very cool and this may be a sign of things to come. Maybe some ESPN or TNT games as well this year?

This is great and I love how we're starting to get some recognition. I think we can all thank Danny Granger for this. Last year he visited Indonesia on behalf of the NBA and he set up a camp with the basketball league over there. Unsurprisingly, he was beloved. They had big posters of him all over the towns and his picture on the front page of the news paper. As a sign of gratitude, Danny sent them his signed All Star jersey and a pair of signed sneakers.

Anyways, I think it's because of how successful Danny was in being an ambassador for the league that the NBA is giving us this great opportunity. So thank you, Danny, for putting the Pacers back on the map.

Pretty cool stuff. Glad to see the Pacers getting more exposure.

I love this, being Chinese myself. China will be a big player in the NBA, and might even get an NBA team before anybody in Europe.
