Basketball in Shanghai

www.DailyChinaVideo.com

Shanghai Indoor Stadium Basketball Park. This video was shot in the early afternoon on Tuesday April 18th 2012. The Park has 9 hoops (one of which is only 8 feet), all games are four-on-four halfcourt up to five by one, winners ball. The competition level gets better as it gets later. Games run until 9:30 and there are lights. Admission to the park is 10 RMB weekdays and 15 on weekends (6RMB=$1) I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be called into a game, though being 6 foot 2 in China may help. A main difference between pickup games in China vs America is the post play. Everyone wants to be Yao Ming not Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant.
