After the most thorough assessment and verification, the NBA officials determined that Jiang Siming was the most suitable candidate.
Young, good-looking, with a massive fan base, and currently the hottest online influencer—not a celebrity, yet more popular than most celebrities.
Most importantly, his basketball skills were outstanding.
The officials had seen the video of Jiang Siming soloing Tseng Wen-Ting, where his physical attributes and basketball techniques were top-notch.
Some NBA teams had even taken notice of Jiang Siming and were considering inviting him to play professionally.
With so many fitting qualities, the NBA officially selected Jiang Siming and asked China's NBA ambassador, Yao Ming, to personally communicate with him.
Yao Ming had to contact Shark officials to get Jiang Siming’s information.
Jiang Siming accepted the invitation without much thought.
