I have interesting news for you!
Kyle Anderson from the Minnesota Timberwolves is gearing up to showcase his skills in the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup. Guess what? He’ll be playing for Team China!
You might be wondering how this happened. Well, it turns out that Anderson’s maternal great-grandfather was Chinese, which makes him eligible to play for China as a naturalized citizen. How cool is that?
In a heartwarming video on his Weibo account, Anderson, or should we say Li Kai’er, expressed his happiness and pride in joining Team China. He can’t wait to rock the Team China jersey and make his mark in the tournament.
China had quite a few players in their training camp last month, but they decided to bring Anderson on board to strengthen their squad. And boy, Anderson has proven his worth! In his first season with the Timberwolves, he put up impressive numbers: an average of 9.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game. That’s some serious talent right there!
The action begins on August 26th when China faces off against Serbia in the Philippines during the World Cup group play. It’s going to be an epic showdown, and we can’t wait to see Anderson in action, representing Team China with all his might.
