How Big Is The NBA In China? | ASIAN BOSS

[@AlexanderaPopova]

I don’t think that Asians are genetically worse than others , it’s just the culture , the social environment encourages mental intelligence more than physical activity

[@greenfly6906]

Maybe that was the case a few years ago but c’mon man. How much billions does the Chinese spend on sports to top the Olympic medal charts? How many “concentration sport camps” with millions of kids?China doesn’t even hide it. Look again at the medals China win at the Olympics and your statement looks really dumb. Hell, their distance runners set records that have never been broken in the 90s but everyone knows why that was.

[@mwan245]

Asians, blacks, and southern Europeans are best basketball players

[@Jklopoppcorn]

@@mwan245 pretty sure there’s only one Asian in the league right now, actually the only two I can think of were Yao Ming and Jeremy Lin, but they’re not in the league anymore I don’t think

[@persianOUTKAST]

all the people in the comments focusing on that one dude & his _"... Curry is better than James ..."_ comment. *HOWEVER* not one person here actually *_listened_* to his full statement. he said (paraphrasing) that *LeBron James* is the better *physical* athlete; while *Steph Curry* is the more *skilled* athlete (think dribbling, shooting, etc.). not one basketball analyst would disagree w/ that assessment; in fact, that's what everyone has been saying about both athletes their entire careers.

[@gugu911]

this is exactly what I mean. Chinese respect skills more than talents

[@verifiedzae5912]

persianOUTKAST which is still not true

[@ssj-rose4572]

Currys inst more skilled if lebron is better at everything else

[@billiondollarbull]

Dribbling and shooting, that's it. But last time I checked, LeBron isn't a bad shooter himself, and takes some of the most ridiculous shots from the logo. We've seen LeBron do curry things. I ain't never seen curry chase down a dude from baseline to baseline, and dunk on Kevin Garnett. And it's not only physicality that James have over Curry. LeBron is more intelligent, a better leader, more clutch, and performs better in big games. So yeah, anyone saying Curry is better than LeBron doesn't know basketball.

[@PamelaPalmaM]

I had no idea that Chinese were so into basketball, that's pretty cool! I was a little surprised when that guy said Curry was better than LeBron, I was like "What?!", anyways, everyone has their favourite 😄.

[@LAZYLAM]

he could be from Fujian province

[@LAZYLAM]

he could be from Fujian province

[@柯柯大]

Pamela Palma amateur or pro athlete in china perferred acrobatic skills instead of fierce physical confrontation ， before curry got famous they fond of kobe / nash as well

[@xdshang2836]

HAHAHAHAHA，you are very cute XD

[@AC-to2tx]

Its Big in China. Like anywhere in the World there are Lebron and Curry fans

[@MonumentToSin]

Well, ever since Yao Ming was drafted into the NBA I know a lot of Chinese people became fans of the Rockets team. I've met a lot of Chinese that visit Houston just to watch a Rockets game. I think the Rockets were even nicknamed "China's team".

[@hellokalp5809]

I was expecting a more diverse group of interviewees like women, children, or at least people that are not obviously into basketball (i.e. interview not held in basketball courts) but I guess finding people willing to be interviewed is tough too...

[@TheRealBruceLouis]

well its kinda easy interviewin ppl, who are enthusiased about basketball, about basketball

[@haziq12ish]

Different sports

[@basketballforlife3218]

NBA is very popular in Asia, especially China, Taiwan, the Philippines, and even Hong Kong. Basketball is such a popular sport in Asia, people playing basketball when they have free time.

[@Ononorium]

Hongkong is in China

[@xiaochang1316]

you can just say China，cause China include hongkong city and taiwan province.we both have the same culture and language.

[@basketballforlife3218]

It is very controversial, some think Taiwan and Hong Kong are parts of China while you may see some people hold different opinions on this one. But it is very obvious that so many Chinese, even older people like 70+, love basketball and play basketball when they try to kill time.

[@xiaochang1316]

Basketball For Life Today's constitutions of Taiwan and Hong Kong make it clear that they are part of China. Anyone can question the constitution, but no one can violate it.

[@wethebishop]

They don't seem to have the same culture (behavior, values)

[@fernandotorres8961]

Curry better than LeBron???? Give that guy a manual...

[@squidhoodtentacuz1918]

Curry's a better shooter and ball handler, we can say that much at least.

[@jiajiezhang6536]

you can clearly see that his pal is disagree but he doesnt want to set up an argument in front of the reporter

[@jingli7206]

Basketball is a team sport. It's safe to say Curry did a great job under GSW's system.

[@PamelaPalmaM]

I agree with you.

[@shaunievlogs]

many asians love steph, probably because his size is similar/ideal to a chinese basketball player. lebron is huge, and there aren't many asians who can have that size and athleticism. this is due to genes and is unavoidable, so people idolize steph instead

[@Amaury1514]

Yeah, I definitely think Chinese players (maybe teams) will start becoming a part in the NBA soon. Within the next 5 to 10 years at the latest. It’s such a huge market too, so if the NBA didn’t capitalize on it then they would be failures.

[@ivenotwatched1episodeofnar71]

but why? Teams dont judge a player by the market but by the skill.

[@yojandry5804]

Damn Asian Boss back at it being the Plug

[@Rampantdiamond]

Definitely didn’t expect basketball of all things to be so popular in Shanghai. Great video Asian Boss 👍

[@Rampantdiamond]

Angelbob77 That makes sense thanks for the info.

[@alfblue4734]

its so big that NBA earns more money from china than from the states lmao

[@PinoyGameStore]

They should do the NBA segment in the Philippines as well!

[@nukalion5280]

What Chinese people think about guns?

[@xllee4415]

MoistyMerman why gun

[@jingli7206]

I personally don't buy the idea of the second amendment. The core of the amendment is to ensure the right to fight against improper behavior conducted by the authority. In the 18th century, to have a gun may offer the people the power. However, today, the misconduct of the authority is more likely to take place in the field of economy and reflected as a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Guns can do nothing with it. So as a Chinses, I believe American need to reconsider about guns.

[@huwang102]

What is gun?

[@chinaball4409]

never see

[@wilfredbao9998]

Most Chinese would have no interactions with a gun in their lifetime... unless, of course, policeman or military. Even airsoft is kinda banned in China (paintball guns seems to be fine), so I don't think Chinese people (I'm Chinese as well) would have much to say about guns since there is no first-hand experience. But the story of why China banned guns is actually interesting, I believe it was a kid in Beijing shooting a hunting rifle at a bird but missed and the bullet landed in a very important government building with a foreign ambassador in it, then the government decided to ban guns lol

[@Octobre1986]

I have the Impression that Chinese People in General take the physical Advantages too seriously. Especially when they speak about genetics. There are even short Clips about the genetics of black athletes in Chinese. They should be careful about their thoughts, even more when they want to compete.

[@taoliu7312]

In fact, a country that is keen to talk about anti-racism is precisely a country with serious ethnic problems! Which country do you think?

[@dragoldanime3573]

FoodforThought then the what have you been doing? You comment can be easily sported in in most if not all video about China.

[@jackzzz5179]

but it is a fact. White people and black people are stronger and taller on average

[@dragoldanime3573]

Look what most of you are saying, generalising a whole country by a few of it few citizens, calling them racist but look what you are doing.

[@chanliu4771]

Sorry but in China almost no political correctness. If we think about it we just split it out. Like if you're fat, we call you fat, not overweight. But we are mild to foreigners. I don't think it's something racist. We do think black and white athletes have better potential in basketball, maybe a bit stereotype.

[@khashmoney6985]

Jeremy Lin was the first Asian American to play in the NBA. Yao Ming was the first Asian to play in the NBA and he was born in China, but Jeremy Lin was born in America and he was the first Asian American to play in the NBA.

[@Perhapsawiseman]

Could you interview Korean War Veterans who are South Korean?

[@MiguelDLewis]

[@Sangas79]

I want to see this too.. Asian Boss.

What Chinese think about other Chinese

[@markwalker4996]

Yes something like what do urban chinese people think of rural chinese people and visa versa.

[@ohfuck6958]

Mark Walker nope. he meant other overseas chinese and other chibese countries like Taiwan and Singapore.

[@michahunicz1741]

What do Chinese think about 2018 World Cup and football overall?

[@hanwang7028]

Michał Hunicz soccer is a “pain in the ass” topic in China cuz our national soccer team SUCKS！

[@半缘君-c2k]

we like football very much.but chinese football hurt our heart again and again.

[@colinyuan5404]

we think our national team sucks, so only the soccer die-hard pay a lot of attention on World Cup.

[@michahunicz1741]

Colin Yuan Which team will you support?

[@xdshang2836]

[@seaston]

I remember back in 2010 when I went to China. I tried to convince this college student that Football was bigger than Basketball. He thought I was crazy.

[@SyczYT1998]

Can you ask them what they think about Hip Hop?

[@李重远-f4d]

[@stanlee1087]

We love hip hop very much and I am a Chinese bboy

[@komakush3358]

We love hip hop for sure.

[@tiashageorge5308]

definitely made me slightly uncomfortable towards the end of the interviews didn't know people focused so heavily on the genetic makeup of black people in this day and age

[@sfhgdshj6944]

Tiasha George they are saying they are physically stronger taller etc compared to most Asians who are more “agile” I guess which is suitable for like ping pong badminton etc

[@profpsphacker]

Only an american would comment something like this... It's obvious that we black people are genetically gifted with taller limbs and more muscular bodies, that is a fact. That is why 90% of NBA is black while only 13% of the UsA is black. So obviously when you ask why the asians might be underrepresented in high level basketball the answer will be that genetics plays a big role. Same reason all long distance runners are from east africa. Stop projecting your narrow american sensitive point of view onto the rest of the world, not everybody who mentions race does this in a negative/racist way. Thats an american thing.

[@WeArePharmers]

You should do an episode on why Filipinos love basketball so much

[@ziondelrosario9747]

Same in the Philippines. I could even say that it's a lot bigger here than the FIFA World Cup.

[@aritark]

The one guy said he doesn't want to sound nationalistic when talking about yao ming. how big is the distinction in chinese between patriotism and nationalism?

[@madimadisofian]

Going to basketball arena and asking about NBA 🤦‍♂️

[@familarstranger]

LOL The nicknames ...I will say something. I am very grateful for this channel. You get to really learn a lot about the Asian society....would also like to see an episode of "What Asian People Think of Entrepreneurship" or starting a business.

[@yfangyusnpan5536]

[@merzulu2416]

the love for basketball ball in China is not normal. 99.99999999999% of my male students play it. it's the only thing they want to talk about after video games!!! as a women its annoying point blank period.

Basketball is definitely more popular in China than in South Korea, where I would say less than 5% of the population follows the NBA. It's definitely getting more popular in Korea though.........

[@lyhthegreat]

basketball is big in the Philippines too iirc..koreans likse soccer i think while japanese likes baseball

[@henlolneh]

I believe fair skin is a popular genetic trait that all humans of the first world seek... not only asians.

[@You-vg6yt]

Krystal 92 it really doesn't need a video. Darker skin and tanned skin is obtained from working out in the sun and doing manual labor for many centuries in asia. Depending on your geological position in asia you have different skin based on the climate also. People want fair skin because it is seen as something good, it means you never have to work outside in the sun and you are from a preferred geological place.

[@kebabtaco]

It became a beauty standard because farmers out in the sun became very tan, so people of higher class didn't want to have a similar appearance to that of farmers and poor people. Fair skin is therefore considered the most desired, as people with fair skin are associated with high class.

[@EmmaEmma-mt7qh]

Chinese like fair skin for thousands years. in China history, tan skin means farmers, labor. fair skin means grow up in big rich family and do not need to go out .
