MyBasketball

The Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) is an independent association and is not affiliated with any club or province and has been hosting a Spring Tournament for the Asian community. The aim was to invite 12 “self-sponsored” basketball teams- 6 men’s teams and 6 ladies teams- to a highly competitive and entertaining basketball event.

It is anticipated that Basketball in the Asian community will benefit from the competitive spirit and profit from being associated with such a project (reputational and social). The tournament has been running from the 14^th of September and ends on the 19th of October 2008.

The league concludes this coming weekend so go out there and support the event. It looks like the final could be rematch between Raptors and Scorpions in the ladies section. The semi finals take place at the Sacred Heart College in Johannesburg on Saturday 18 October 2008 with the finals on Sunday 19 October 2008.

In 2007 after getting frustrated at the lack of information about the game he loved in South Africa, Victor decided to start Mybasketball and he hasn't looked back. For close to 15 years, Victor has experienced the game as a player, a coach, a spectator and now from a media perspective. The whole purpose of Mybasketball is to keep the fans informed about the game and anything related to it; whether it is here in SA, Africa or Overseas. Victor has made some great friends along the way and rekindled some amazing friendships through the game.. Some of those friends have joined him on this crusade to make basketball better for everyone, and he looks forward to a South Africa where basketball gets the credit it deserves and the focus is on youth development and improving the coaches.
