Threesday: How globalized Shanghai remains Chinese
We wonder if there will be major brawls between basketball and soccer fans this week in Shanghai. We sure hope so! Because this week as soccer is being played inside Shanghai Stadium, basketball -- or, at least, some sexed-up replication of the sport -- will be played outside. Something called the NBA Jam Van starts its three-month, 10-city tour of China in Shanghai this week. Billed as "the NBA’s premiere interactive touring program" (there are others?), the NBA Jam Van will annoy soccer fans July 28-31, from 11 am to 7 pm daily. Here's exactly what the NBA PR people want Shanghaiist to tell you about it:
The China edition of the NBA Jam Van is a tailor-made, 16-meter truck which transforms into 600 square meters of free basketball activities allowing fans of all ages the opportunity to play like the pros. In addition to jamming slam dunks and sinking three-pointers on two basketball areas with three different size baskets, fans can participate in a wide array of interactive off-court activities, including video games, player measure-up areas and other displays, and a giant video wall featuring the NBA action and highlights. Participants can also take advantage of product samples and demonstrations from the Jam Van’s official partners and suppliers.
Shanghaiist just got an email today from the NBA, saying that the offical opening ceremony of the NBA Jam Van in Shanghai will be July 28 at 3 pm. And there's going to be a special guest!
Do you want to know who it is?
Are you ready?!?

篮球大蓬车注意了：让步步行街！
本星期，说不定上海的篮球迷和足球迷将有些不小的争吵。因为，上海体育场内有足球赛，场外有篮球赛。NBA篮球大蓬车本星期在上海开始了它的3个月，10个城市的中国行。作为“NBA’s 初次互动巡游节目”，这篮球大蓬车可能会在7月28至31日，每天从上午11点到下午7点惹恼足球迷。以下是NBA公关人事想让shanghaiist告诉你们的：
中国版的篮球大蓬车本是个定制的，16米长的卡车可以变成600平方米供各个年龄层的球迷像职业选手般活动的场地。除了可以干扰强力灌篮和使三分球投手在两个篮球区域有三个不同大小的球篮，球迷们还可以参加多种场下的互动活动 ，包括电子游戏，与选手比身高区域和其它展示以及一个巨大的放映NBA选手的活动集锦的视频墙。参与者也可利用由篮球大蓬车官方供应商提供的产品样本和演示。
Shanghaiist 今天刚收到NBA的一封e-mail, 说篮球大蓬车在上海的官方开幕仪式是七月28日下午3点。届时还会有个特殊嘉宾！
想知道是谁吗？
准备好了吗！？
