Starting your day right with China’s favorite street breakfast and a bunch of links…
- Aaron Brooks, who played last season in China with Guangdong, reflects on his experience with HoopsWorld.
- Has Tony Parker switched to Peak?
- More from said Peak: As of December, the Chinese shoe company has partnered up with the Toronto Raptors. With the deal, “Peak will be exposed to Raptors fans who will see the company’s branding all over the Air Canada Centre where home games are held. Peak’s merchandise will also be available to Canadian consumers at the Raptors Team shop at the Air Canada Centre.” That should work out nicely for the Raps’ Kyle Lowry, who endorses Peak.
- Chris Tang, his life in in America playing for Oak Hill Academy, and the dealing with the inevitable comparisons to Jeremy Lin.
- Speaking of Lin, remember when Yao Ming was guaranteed to make the All-Star Team every year because of the millions of people voting for him in China? The same thing, although a little bit less dramatically, is happening with the Houston Rocket’s newest guard.
- From Beijing Cream, the story of a one-legged basketball player who plays better than a lot of two-legged basketball players. Amazing within itself, but even more so when you consider that he’s catching, rebounding and handling the ball with one hand, too. Plus, if dude is a natural righty — and he very might well be judging from the fact that he makes exactly zero shots from outside three feet during the course of the video — that means he’s doing all that with his off-hand. Very impressive.
