Book love 1990 japan
This post has been republished, with permission, from nbaxpop.wordpress.com. Of the four major sports leagues of North America, the NBA is, by light years, the most popular in Asia. While American media has often attributed this growth to the emergence of Yao Ming in the early 2000s, that’s simply an uneducated, misinformed guess (which I’ve gone out of way to bring up here in an interview with Voice of America and here in a feature in Turbo Jet magazine). I say this with no exaggeration, but in my six years of being around Asia, I’ve seen a Yao Ming jersey once — and that was in the form of a tribute on the day Yao announced his retirement ( I’ve seen a Kobe jersey, oh, 4,000 times). In Hong Kong, I can say with 99.9% certainty that ballers here look up to the Kobes, the Le Brons, the Jordans, and that if you ask them to list players from whom they’ve drew inspiration, Yao probably wouldn’t even crack the top 15. Even in China, Kobe notoriously received a louder ovation — the loudest, actually — than Yao during the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. Yao’s influence on the NBA’s business opportunities in China is undeniable, but as far as influencing “ Asian males to love basketball?” Please. The Philippines’ love of the NBA has been documented many times, most notably in this wonderful Grantland piece, and it precedes Yao’s emergence by decades; Hongkongers and Taiwanese mostly distant themselves from anything related to “ China”, and I can’t even name one local friend who watches the Chinese Basketball Association; In Japan, most of the basketball loving population would probably trace their first impression of basketball/ NBA to the manga Slam Dunk, which ran from 1990 to 1996. I’ve written about Slam Dunk and its status/influence as the GOAT manga before, but here, let this CNN piece tell you: Its popularity endures: According to a 2012 survey by research group goo.
