How Yang Hansen became the NBA’s most anticipated prospect

Two decades had passed since a Chinese basketball player stirred this much excitement on the world stage.

His summer league game against the Memphis Grizzlies wasn’t just another exhibition match; it drew an estimated 5.2 million viewers, outpacing the ratings of several recent NBA playoff games.
