NBA Returns for a Break-Neck Finish to Regular Season
Sports42 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2017 NBA legend Yao Ming named Chinese basketball chief BEIJING: NBA Hall of Famer Yao Ming called for “urgent” reform and said he was facing a multitude of problems as he was elected president of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) yesterday. The giant former Houston Rockets centre, 36, arrives at the post as China searches for new superstars and more glory days for its national team, which has largely stalled since his retirement in 2011. Yao, the first league head not drawn from government ranks, has long advocated reform of how basket- ball is run in his country, which has failed to produce anyone close to his calibre. “At the moment, the most urgent matter is the reform of the CBA, which we must set on a virtuous cycle that will increase our influence and vitality, and bring new ideas to the fore,” he told a news conference in Beijing. “The biggest problem is that there is no ‘biggest problem’. The problems are everywhere. I believe this is a common thing to encounter in the process of reform.” He did not give specifics. DENVER: In this Nov 10, 2016, file photo, Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, center, jokes with teammates Yao was quoted by Chinese media as earlier telling the CBA Kevin Durant, left, and Klay Thompson during the Warriors’ NBA basketball game against the Nuggets in Denver. With he would work in the spirit of an official push by Communist all that was made before the season about adding Kevin Durant to an already star-studded roster, Golden State’s play- Party authorities to reform China’s sports management, part ers have jelled just fine.
