Long summer of hoops to get underway

Sure, maybe you couldn't be there to watch the United States take on Spain for the Olympic gold medal.

But you can still catch some top-notch NBA stars, like Kobe Bryant, Jeremy Lin and Shane Battier in China at the moment.

After helping the US claim its 14th Olympic men's basketball gold medal, Bryant flew from London to Shanghai. The 33-year-old attended a charity event in Shanghai on Tuesday night, looking to raise money for children from impoverished families and push the development of the country's youth basketball.
