Chinese Basketball Association
Top professional men's basketball league in China
Basketball league
The Chinese Basketball Association (simplified Chinese : 中国男子篮球职业联赛 ; traditional Chinese : 中國男子籃球職業聯賽 ; pinyin : Zhōngguó Nánzǐ Lánqiú Zhíyè Liánsài CBA , is the first-tier professional men's basketball league in China.
The league is commonly known by fans as the CBA, and this acronym is even used in Chinese on a regular basis. The CBA should not be confused with the National Basketball League (NBL), which is a professional minor league . There is also a Women's Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA).
A few Chinese players who competed in the CBA in the early stages of their careers—including Wang Zhizhi , Mengke Bateer , Yao Ming , Yi Jianlian , Sun Yue , and Zhou Qi —have also played in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Others such as Xue Yuyang and Wang Zhelin were chosen in the draft , but have not played in the NBA.
Only a limited number of foreign players are allowed on each CBA team. Notable imports include former NBA All-Stars Stephon Marbury , Tracy McGrady , Gilbert Arenas , Steve Francis , Metta World Peace and Kenyon Martin —as well as several NBA veterans who would become CBA All-Stars—Michael Beasley , Aaron Brooks , Jimmer Fredette , Al Harrington , Lester Hudson , Randolph Morris , Shavlik Randolph , Jeremy Lin and J.R. Smith .
Background
The CBA began play in the 1995–96 season . The league should not be confused with the Chinese Basketball Association (organisation) , which was founded in June 1956[ 1] FIBA . Basketball in China is currently regulated by the Chinese Basketball Management Center .
Other Chinese basketball leagues include the National Basketball League (NBL), the Chinese University Basketball Association (CUBA), and the Chinese High School Basketball League (CHBL).[ 2] Chinese New Basketball Alliance (CNBA),[ 3] [ 4]
The first non-Chinese player to compete in the CBA was Mihail Savinkov of Uzbekistan , who joined the Zhejiang Squirrels in the league's inaugural 1995–96 campaign.[ 5] 1996–97 season, James Hodges became one of the first Americans to play in the CBA, and his signing by the Liaoning Hunters helped pave the way for many more imports from the United States to follow in the ensuing years.
Some other notable foreign pioneers included John Spencer , who joined the Jiangsu Dragons later in the 1996–97 campaign, and David Vanterpool , who inked a deal with the Jilin Northeast Tigers the following winter, and helped the team move up to the CBA in time for the 1998–99 season . The CBA's first international coach was American Robert Hoggard, who led the Sichuan Pandas for the last eight games of the 1997–98 campaign.[ 6]
Team names
For a full list of teams, see Current clubs section below. Also see Category:Chinese Basketball Association teams .
The full name of each team usually consists of three parts, in the following order:
A geographic designation (except in the case of Bayi , which technically translates into English as "August First," the day China's People's Liberation Army was founded). All others are province-level designations (either a province or a Chinese municipality ).
A corporate sponsor name. This sponsor may change from year to year, and sometimes even in mid-season.
A nickname, such as the name of an animal. The presence of corporate sponsor names can occasionally lead to confusion about what name to use in English because many variants may be seen. Team names are usually abbreviated (in Chinese or English ), so that either the corporate sponsor name or the nickname is used interchangeably (rarely both). In addition, team nicknames can sometimes be translated into English in more than one way, and corporate sponsors tend to change frequently over time.
Nickname changes are rare, but occasionally happen, such as when the Shandong team switched from Flaming Bulls (1995) to Lions (2003) to Gold Lions (2004) to Golden Stars (2014). Other examples include the Liaoning team dumping Hunters (1995) for Dinosaurs (2008) and then Flying Leopards (2011) -- as well as the Foshan team's evolving attempts to "Anglicize" its nickname—by going from Kylins (2001) to Dralions to Long-Lions .
In previous years, the title of the league itself was available for corporate naming sponsorship. In 1999–2000 and 2000–2001 it was known as the Hilton LeagueMotorola LeagueChina Unicom . These corporate league titles were not always used in the news media, however, and this sponsorship practice was discontinued at the start of the 2004–2005 season.[ 7]
Current clubs
While clubs are listed by division here, the CBA does not use these designations for regular season purposes anymore, as each squad now plays each other once at home and once on the road (plus eight additional games within each of the four rotating "strength of schedule" sub-groupings). Divisions are used for the league's annual All-Star Game, however, and are shown here for the sake of convenience.

The rules for the selection of the MVP in the regular season are: the number of games must reach 28 or more; The comprehensive score of individual technical indicators ranks among the best; The team won the top three in the regular season.[ 10] CBA Finals MVP award is bestowed upon the most outstanding player in that year's championship series.
Each campaign's scoring leader is also recognized on an annual basis and the league maintains a list of single game, single season, and career record holders in various statistical categories. Furthermore, a CBA All-Star Game MVP award is given to the player deemed to have the most impactful performance in the league's annual mid-season exhibition contest.
The CBA Best Defender award is presented to the league's most hard-skilled and efficient defender in a given season of the CBA.
Scoring leaders
The CBA's highest single season scoring average, depending on how many games are required to be recognized as a statistical qualifier, is either 43.1 points per game by Jordan Crawford , who played in 26 of Tianjin's 38 games (68.4%) in 2015–16 , or 42.0 points per game by Jonathan Gibson , who played in 36 of Qingdao's 38 games (94.7%) in 2015–16 .

Foreign imports
Listed below are some of the most accomplished foreign imports who have competed in the CBA. Players must appear in at least one game for the team to receive credit for a season. Someone who signs a contract but never steps on the court does not count.

Policy
Every team can register up to four foreign players per season. During the regular season, the policy of four (maximum) foreign players on the field for four quarters and four times per game (full of one per quarter) is adopted, while the team ranked in the bottom four last season may adopt the policy of four (maximum) foreign players for four quarters and five times per game (full of two times per quarter in the first three quarters and one time per quarter in the last quarter). During the playoffs, all teams will adopt a four-player (maximum) four-period four-times policy for foreign players (maximum of one per period)[ 22]
