As the NBA celebrates its 10th edition of preseason games in China, commissioner Adam Silver can't help but marvel at the league's amazing growth in its biggest overseas market.
"Seeing Yao Ming watch from courtside in Shanghai was a reminder of just how far we've come in China," Silver told China Daily on the eve of Wednesday's clash between the Houston Rockets and New Orleans Pelicans in Beijing.
"It allowed me to sit back and think that I am now going into my 25th year working in the league. That gives me some perspective on my life."
