    NBA commissioner David Stern hinted Thursday during his press conference that the Rockets will play some of their preseason games this fall in China, reports the Houston Chronicle.


    "I don't think I'm supposed to (confirm the China games)," Stern said. "We need to be respectful of our colleagues in China and get the appropriate sign-offs, and we're awaiting that. No problems, but they're not fully confirmed yet."

    They did this like 3 years back right?

    I thought this was news on playing a regular season game overseas, the way the NFL did in Europe.

    I'm sure that is what this leading to. Globalization at work.

    No. Rather, that's the question we should be asking Bosh.

    "Do you want to become a Chinese icon and all the $$$$ associated with it?"

    Funny the last time, they play in China...Kevin Martin was our rivalry with the Kings. Now he's on the other side...playing for the Rockets.
