The funny thing that you can order it from SEA (mostly Thailand) for roughly ~$30 through https://www.dhgate.com/ DHGate is perfect to buy fake jerseys that are pretty much the same with genuine tags. Either stolen from the factory or they work overhours, I don't know. But the quality and the actual product is almost always the same.

This shouldn't be surprising to people. The NBA has a bigger fanbase in China than in the USA. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-09/china-s-5...
I disagree. The size of the fanbase is surprising, and so is the implication of this behaviour

This is also a good way to get in trouble with customs. Source: Have a friend who bought counterfeit items and got held up at customs for it.
They get seized at worst, you get a reship. Nobody cares about it as long as you aren't getting 50+ for resale.

I think it's healthy to remind people, from time to time, how Hollywod (e.g. Tencent), the NBA, and other American institutions have sold themselves to CCP money.

Which is why millionaire players and coaches are absolutely mute (or are muted) on any China issue, or claim that the issue is complicated .

Americans who've never even visited China feel free to moralize about how what Chinese people really want is a choice between two shitty parties, just how it is in America. But many Chinese look at America and think it's a terribly mismanaged country that used to be great, and is falling further and further behind due in large part to its deranged politics.
It's simply not a given that the American way of doing things is better. Americans complain about China even while America destroys countries directly, overthrows governments, supports South and Central American death squads, supports tyrannical middle eastern regimes, gives huge sums of government money to major polluters, and engages in other reprehensible behavior.
Take the log out of your eye before you look at the mote in ours.
And if we're truly honest, the real problem is that white americans see non-white people getting rich and powerful, and that's something that the white supremacists who run rampant in America (and on Hacker News) cannot abide.

It seems really random that the Chinese are so into NBA. What next, Greeks being really into American gangsta rap music?
Basketball is a quite popular sport internationally, unlike the 2 other big American inventions: baseball and football.
Only a handful of countries outside the US have professional baseball leagues[1]. And other than Canada I don't know any country that has a professional football (gridiron) league.
