What happened to Basketball in China? A team that should be on the rise, seems like they’re back to the basics. The simple thing that takes work, defense is non existent. They got their asses kicked in the Olympics and are already out. Post Yao Ming basketball seems like it took a huge step back. (ABC – China Basketball)

BS: Jeremy Lin. Obama: — doing good. And I knew about Jeremy before you did, or everybody else did, because Arne Duncan, my Secretary of Education, was captain of the Harvard team.
