Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, Zion Williamson, and Paolo Banchero have all made their way to China, for the Jordan Brand’s first-ever China Family Tour. The four NBA stars spent their first two days meeting fans and visiting some iconic landmarks and on the third day, they faced off against some Chinese streetballers.

The video went viral on social media and NBA fans were hyped as they reacted to it.

One loved the atmosphere, “I love these types of atmospheres. So much hype.”

A fan said Doncic and Williamson would be a scary duo, “Luka and Zion would be scary.”

One took a shot at Paul George while praising the stars here, “So refreshing watching them compared to Paul George who dribbles 30x to try and shoot.”

A fan hilariously stated that the player guarding Williamson was trying to get a contract, “Dude in the second clip tryna get a contract.”

One marveled at Banchero being able to move the way he does, “Paolo moving like this at 6’10 still baffles me.”


This would have been a lot of fun to watch live. I am certain it was an experience that those Chinese fans will never forget. 

This China tour has proven to be a hit thus far for the Jordan Brand. Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the country and it has strengthened its presence in the region with it. It’d be interesting to see if Michael Jordan himself shows up at some point in the future

While I am sure the fans loved to see Doncic. Tatum, Williamson, and Banchero, can you imagine the hype for the tour in China if Jordan was coming too? He first visited the country in 2004 and is unsurprisingly somewhat of an icon there.


The NBA Stars Also Hiked The Great Wall Of China

As is the case with most people who visit China, the four stars obviously made their way to the Great Wall of China too. Some appeared to be happier than others during the hike.

Tatum being afraid of heights is quite the revelation. Doncic, meanwhile, hilariously needed a hiking stick at one point. Williamson definitely seemed the happiest to be there, with his only complaint being that it was a bit too hot. He then went as far as to say he’d probably spend a fair of time at the Great Wall of China for some inner peace if he lived in the country.

“If I lived here, this would definitely be my escape,” Williamson said. “… I’d at least try to come here once a week if I lived here. You can be dealing with anything, like, if you come out here, this is peace. This is what peace looks like… This is amazing.”

You certainly would get some peace of mind at the Great Wall. It’s also good to see that Williamson appears to be physically and mentally healthy at this point. He has faced a lot of criticism in recent years and looks primed to have the best season of his career in 2024-25.
