Yao Ming is retired, but basketball is as big as ever in China where Indiana Pacers point guard Joe Young visited last month.
Young was there for a number of events, including clinics at the Nike Rise Academy, playing in a charity game for the Yao Ming Foundation, and throwing down dunks with Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon.

According to China Pacers’ Holick Lee, playing in China for Yao’s foundation was part of Joe’s life coming full circle as Young grew up in Houston watching the hall of famer play.
