Chinese Basketball Association finals between Liaoning Flying Leopards and Sichuan Blue Whales start tonight. Liaoning was in the finals also last year, but lost the best-of-seven series to Beijing Ducks. For Sichuan this will be the first appearance in CBA finals.
Major League Soccer, the top soccer league in North America, started last weekend. LeTV streams live matches from the league, which coming to this season has been shadowed by heavy investments in Chinese Super League. With support from the highest levels of Chinese government, future of soccer in the northern Pacific may go towards Asia. China has the financial muscle, but is it still too exotic for majority of foreign stars in the sport?
Meanwhile in English FA Cup, the oldest football tournament in the world, sixth round matches will be played this weekend. The winners will proceed to semi-finals.
