I didn't see it posted so here it is. I think it shouldn't go unnoticed, what a shame. Brazil - China "friendly" game.

Saw this one. I thought it was pretty pathetic in all respects. Kicks being thrown. I mean come on!

This was excellent. Not only did you get to see some basketball, you also got to see some MMA. that's two events in one. although those Brazilians didn't really put up much of a fight - swinging towels isn't going to inflict damage on anyone.

Those Chinese might not be the best basketball players in the world, but they might have the best martial artist of any basketball team in the world!

The Chinese team's new American coach has been trying to instill some toughness into the chinese players. Its been believed the Chinese team has always been pussies and that's why other international teams push them around for rebounds and hard fouls, etc. Maybe now the Chinese national team has a new identity.

I don't think fighting using leg kicks is really going to help their cause. They need to improve their strength and conditioning programs, which I do expect to happen relatively soon. They just need their CBA to gain some press. And, it seems that they have taken the steps to make it happen by signing former NBA players.
