The Chinese Jokic Just Made Them All Look Stupid

The story of Yang Hansen is more than just the rise of another basketball prospect. It’s a narrative that captures the intersection of history, culture, international sports development, and the extraordinary journey of a teenager from Shandong who may very well change the global perception of Chinese basketball forever. For a country with a staggering population of 1.4 billion, the second largest on Earth, its representation in the NBA has always been limited. Over the league’s long history, only six Chinese-born players have managed to reach the NBA, and of those six, only one truly transcended borders to become a household name: Yao Ming. Yao’s 7’6 frame and eight All-Star appearances cemented him not only as a Hall of Famer but as a cultural bridge between East and West. He put Chinese basketball on the map. But now, more than two decades later, a successor has arrived—a 7’2 prodigy named Yang Hansen, a player many are already calling “the Chinese Jokic,” and he might just take what Yao started to an entirely new level.
Yang Hansen’s journey began in 2005 in Shandong, China, where his extraordinary size and coordination were apparent from an early age. He quickly became a high school phenomenon, dominating national tournaments and collecting MVPs and Defensive Player of the Year honors as if they were routine. In just a few short years, he had already separated himself from his peers, not only by height but by skill. By the time he was 17, he was starring for China’s youth national team at the 2022 FIBA Asian Championships. His performance wasn’t just impressive—it was historic. Hansen posted double-doubles, stuffed stat sheets with points, rebounds, assists, and blocks, and led the entire tournament in player efficiency rating, despite averaging only 23 minutes per game. His ability to influence the game across every category foreshadowed the type of multidimensional player he could become.
