From Macao to Shanghai

After two uncontested games in Macao, the USA Basketball Team flew to Shanghai and played another two (versus Russia & Australia). More competitive games indeed.... let's check out the photos!

We are flying Chartered Flight to Shanghai from Macao, and were taken under OLYMPIC TEAM level....

.... therefore, we can go through the Customs in Shanghai through Special Olympic Counters... but I cannot believe that the players got stucked outside the customs not by the fans, BUT BY THE CUSTOMS themselves... asking players for autograph... photos....

WHAT KIND OF SECURITY is that??

The 2 games in Shanghai was played in the Qizhong Forest Sports Center, home of the 2005-2008 ATP Tennis Masters Cup

This time in Shanghai, more NBA Legends come attend & watch, including GLEN RICE, one of the best shooter in the history of NBA.

And I ran into Tayshaun Prince on my way back to my hotel room after the first game against Russia....

Before the Australia game, our crew got one day-off to cruise around Shanghai Old City Town... nice working with our Director of the show, Pat Walker!!

The nicest part to stay in the same hotel with the players is that... you always get to see them in the elevator... WITHOUT bodyguard.  Here is JASON KIDD!!!!!

Aussie gave a tough time to the USA Team but eventually lost by 11 points.  But remember that, Andrew Bogut (their star player) wasnt playing due to injury... expect him to be ready in the Olympics.
