[Saba Sports News] Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, Zion Williamson, and Paolo Banchero recently embarked on the Jordan Brand’s first-ever China Family Tour. After spending their first two days meeting fans and visiting iconic landmarks, the NBA stars took on some Chinese streetballers on the third day. The video of the matchup quickly went viral, sparking excitement among NBA fans.
One fan loved the energy, saying, “I love these types of atmospheres. So much hype.” Another commented on the potential of a Doncic and Williamson duo, “Luka and Zion would be scary.” A different fan praised the group while taking a jab at Paul George: “So refreshing watching them compared to Paul George who dribbles 30x to try and shoot.”
Someone joked about the intensity of the streetballers, noting, “Dude in the second clip tryna get a contract.” Another marveled at Banchero’s agility, saying, “Paolo moving like this at 6’10 still baffles me.”
The event seemed like a memorable experience for the Chinese fans, and the tour has been a hit for the Jordan Brand, further strengthening basketball’s popularity in the country.
Fans are already imagining the excitement if Michael Jordan himself were to join the tour in the future, given his iconic status in China since his first visit in 2004.
