Naturalization in China!, NBA Famous Chinese Men's Basketball Team | Li Kaier | Famous Player
The Chinese Basketball Association announced on the 24th that with the promotion and support of all parties, Li Kaier has obtained Chinese nationality this morning and met with the Chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, Yao Ming.
Anderson, born in September 1993, will be over 30 years old. With a height of 2.06 meters, he was selected by the Spurs in the first round, 30th overall pick, in the 2014 draft. Now playing for the Timberwolves, he is one of the most versatile swingman in the league.
There have been rumors before that Kyle Anderson will become a Chinese national and become a member of the Chinese men's basketball team. Li Kaier has responded to this.
At that time, Kyle Anderson, who was preparing for the NBA playoffs playoffs with the team, said, "This matter requires communication with my family and agent. Currently, my focus is on the game at hand. Once the season ends, I will have further discussions with my family before making a decision."
Later, the rumors have evolved from "Li Kaier may become a Chinese citizen" to "Li Kaier's successful citizenship", but his brokerage company has repeatedly debunked the rumors.

In June this year, Yao Ming, Chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, introduced the progress of Li Kaier's naturalization.
Yao Ming said that this matter is like obtaining a household registration, but the process is longer and more difficult. Many of these things are things we have never done before, and we have also received support from the General Administration of Sport of China and relevant departments. We also hope that the complete national team can appear as soon as possible, which can give the team more time to adapt and improve their condition. So far, they are still continuously advancing.
Now, it is only a matter of time before Li Kaier wears the Chinese men's basketball jersey to compete on the field. He also became the first naturalized player in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.
