Retired Chinese basketball star Yao Ming, new chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, speaks during the 9th National Congress of Chinese Basketball Association in Beijing, China, 23 February 2017. Chinese basketball icon Yao Ming has been elected chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, the association announced after its national congress on Thursday (23 February 2017). Since January, multiple media outlets have hinted at Yao's involvement in the election, citing a proposal from the General Administration of Sport, the country's top sports governing body, that he be involved in the game's professional reform. Yao, a former NBA All Star and backbone of the Chinese national team, said after his appointment that he will work hard to lead the reshuffled CBA and push for reform of the game.
