300,000,000 - 800,000

(You may have heard those numbers during halftime.)

The number of Chinese playing basketball - The number of courts being put up in China. /gulp

300 million people live in the US. So by pure numbers alone, they should dominate the sport eventually. There should be a bunch of Chinese in the league in a couple generations. In six generations, we'll prob be sending our best players to play in the, um, the Zhong Guo Basketball Assoc (i only know a handful of chinese words, basketball and assoc. aren't one of them.)
