    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Bucks are making history as the first NBA team to host a U.S. visit by a professional Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) team. The Beijing Ducks are working out at the Bucks Training Center under the guidance of Milwaukee Bucks legend and NBA Hall of Famer Bob Lanier and Sidney Moncrief, Bucks NBA All-Star and team captain in 1980. In addition, John MacLeod, Larry Krystkowiak and Reggie Warford are also helping to coach the Ducks. The Ducks will also play a FREE exhibition game against Midwest USA all-stars and aspiring professionals at 7 p.m. Tuesday, August 9, at the Bradley Center. FREE tickets are available at the door.
    In addition to basketball, the Ducks are also going to tour area businesses and attractions, including Harley-Davidson and Miller Brewing Company as part of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) China Council Bucks - Ducks Business Basketball Exchange. Basketball and the NBA are continuing to become more international and this is is a great opportunity to combine the two.</div>

    This is really cool; with basketball becoming more and more popular around Asia, it's nice to see the NBA embracing it. Maybe the next Yao will want to come play next to Bogut...[​IMG]
