China will be hosting the men's basketball World Cup in 2019 for the first time, FIBA said.

China and the Philippines were the two final countries bidding for the tournament.

"Goodwill" exhibition game between U.S. and Chinese teams yeah right!

The game between the Georgetown University men's basketball team and the Bayi Rockets on Thursday night in Beijing ended in a brawl.

The game was tied at 64, when an American player stole the ball away and may have hit the Chinese player and fight ensued. Pretty exciting, it’s better than watching the NBA.
