Olympics - Tune is to basketball now! USA vs China

Oh my! Oh my! I was never a basketball fan until I came to USA. It is a big deal here with NBA championships. Now for the Olympics USA team, all the best of the best players are playing - Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Jason Kidd, Dwayne Wade etc

And Yao Ming who is also a NBA player, playing for the Houston Rockets is now playing for his country China. He has been waiting for this moment for a long time. Though he was made popular by USA and playing for the US team but he would not give up the opportunity to play for his home country. Apparently he is injured and infact has not played for the Houston Rockets due to his injuries BUT he said no matter what he is not going to give up the chance to play for China in the Olympics.

The game is ON now. Do tune in cos it is a very exciting game! Even US President George Bush and China President Hu Jin Tao are watching the games at the stadium!

Latest update - China out up a good show but the lost to USA. You can see the passion and determination in China especially in Yao Ming who despite injury, was really playing hard against the Americans. But the Team USA team of NBA stars proved too strong for the Chinese. Team China was tired out by the 3rd game and you could see them struggling to keep up. It was a good match nevertheless.
