Former NBA players bring basketball skills to rural China

For former National Basketball Association players David Jones and Tim Ohlbrecht, the greatest reward from their latest trip to China was seeing the children's faces light up, eager and ready to learn from them some basketball skills.

The athletes were invited by the Future Sifang Group and Gansu Aesthetic Education Promotion Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to training coaches and children in impoverished areas through working with NBA in the United States and the Premier League in Britain. Jones, his daughter Mailee Cara Jones, and Ohlbrecht spent about a week in China, starting in late March, visiting schools and honing young students' basketball skills.

They visited primary schools from Beijing to Gansu. Wherever they went, they brought excitement to the students.
