Two worlds collide to lure more hoop fans
What would happen in a basketball game if the two competing teams were made up of a mixture of professional stars, popular singers and actors as well as an Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer?
The question was answered on Saturday as the worlds of sports and entertainment met at Shanghai's Baoshan Gymnasium in what was, in every sense, an all-star clash in the celebrity Super Penguin basketball game, hosted by Chinese tech titan Tencent.
The noise from the capacity 6,000 crowd was deafening, as fans of both the basketball stars and entertainment idols urged on their heroes.
