    Fair enough, but look at the ages of most of those players. Literally the only rookie is Nique Clifford (yay!) who was a FIFTH YEAR Senior. Let's see the list of best 20-and-under players at SL.

    Let's hope this doesn't crater his popularity in China (at least before the team is sold)

    Him having success in the NBA is way more important than playing for the National Team at this point...they know that. There are probably quite a few centers ready to take his place for now.

    Ahhhh gotcha. Actually they would have the ability to simply grab our broadcast. They should be able to watch all 82.

    So do they grab just pure video? Id imagine they have their own announcers in Mandarin? Are their announcers in the arena? Do they use your Blazer graphics overlay? What about different cameras or replays?

    It’s what we call a “CLEAN FEED”.
    It is the “PROGRAM” that leaves our truck (same camera cuts and replays that we show everyone herein the states)
    The only difference is CLEAN audio or “NATS” Natural sounds of the game or arena….squeaks of the shoes, crowd cheering, but NO ANNOUNCERS or GRAPHICS.

    Everything strip off or basically a clean feed.

    This is what we do at the Olympics and other large events like the World Cup, Super Bowl or NBA Finals. Our broadcast leaves the arena DIRTY for the US and CLEAN for the rest of the world. These other countries simply purchase that feed and back home add their announcers and graphics. Some countries or broadcast companies will have 1 designated camera to “ISO” or follow around their player. France does this for Wemby now. They can add that camera to their show back home.

    I had mentioned on here that’s what I did for NHK in Japan during Ichiro’s rookie season. We took the Mariners CLEAN feed, and I did replays of just our ICHIRO CAM. Announcers were back in Tokyo calling over the top of it.

    You should see what we do for APPLTV MLS broadcasts. Most shows have about 4 or 8 channels of audio depending on the show. On our Apple shows we have 16 channels, it’s crazy. French and Spanish calls, it’s nuts.

    So every broadcast now sends out a clean feed for this exact purpose. It’s already there for countries or broadcast groups to purchase and use. Literally a switch to be flipped and China could have our broadcasts. They may send over a sideline type reporter to get interviews and press conferences, but I really don’t feel that we would have any more NATIONALLY televised games simply for Yang, yet…… Yao was understandable though.
