Opis

Reveals that Chinese Americans began 'shooting hoops' nearly a century before Chinese superstar Yao Ming turned pro. Drawing on interviews with players and coaches, this book takes readers back to San Francisco in the 1930s and 1940s, when young Chinese American men and women developed a new approach to the game - with fast breaks.
