I was scrolling through my phone at a local café here in Toronto when Yang Hansen’s NBA draft video popped up. The clip kept buffering every few seconds – that familiar frustration of trying to watch content from back home while overseas. But through the pixelated screen, I could see the determination in his eyes as he talked about his NBA journey.
There’s something about watching a fellow Chinese athlete make it to the big leagues that hits different when you’re thousands of miles away from home. The video showed him during practice – the squeak of basketball shoes on polished court, the sweat dripping down his temple as he focused on every move. It reminded me of my college days, trying to stream CBA games in my dorm room with terrible internet connection.
What struck me most was his response about adapting to the NBA. ‘Do my best to adapt quickly. Play well, and make every minute on court count,’ he said in that interview. The way he said it – not with arrogance, but with that quiet confidence you only see in people who’ve put in the work. It made me think about all the times I’ve had to adapt to new environments abroad.
I remember talking to my cousin back in Shanghai last week – he’s a huge basketball fan. ‘Can you believe it?’ he messaged me, ‘Another Chinese player in the NBA!’ But when I tried to share the excitement with my local friends here, I realized how hard it is to explain the significance. It’s not just about basketball; it’s about seeing someone from your homeland making waves on the world stage.
The part about his birthday being on draft day got me emotional too. Turning 19 and getting drafted into the NBA on the same day? That’s the kind of story you tell your grandkids. It reminded me of my first birthday abroad – sitting alone in my apartment, trying to video call my family while the connection kept dropping.
Honestly, I don’t know much about basketball tactics or team strategies. But as someone who’s been following Chinese athletes’ journeys overseas, I can tell you – every time one of them makes it big internationally, it feels like a small victory for all of us living far from home. Even if we have to struggle with buffering videos and region-locked content to watch their games.
So here’s to Yang Hansen – may your NBA career be as smooth as… well, as smooth as streaming videos should be but never are when you’re overseas. And to all my fellow overseas Chinese trying to follow his journey – I feel your pain with those geo-restrictions. But hey, at least we’re all in this together, right?
