Connecting Factors

I was walking in our neighborhood in Shanghai and ran across this group of fellas in a heated game. Basketball is a global sport. Working for an NBA team, I knew that... in theory. But to see it first hand...everywhere we went people were playing, wearing Rockets gear, and Nike. Over 300,000,000

(3 hunnit million, lol)  people in China  play, watch, or consume basketball in some shapem form or fashion.

Each of the Texas Southern University students had a Chinese student pen-pal they corresponded with via email and skype.  This was a brief meet-up where they were finally able to meet face to face.
