Basketball is hugely popular in China, where an estimated 300 million people play the sport, with Chinese stars such as the Houston Rockets' Yao Ming and Milwaukee Bucks' Yi Jianlian fuelling interest.

Cavaliers all-time starting lineup: Small Forward, LeBron James, 154.1 Win Shares

LeBron James is the best player in Cavs history (and maybe all of NBA history). James has the best highest Win-Shares total in franchise history — 154.1 during his time with the Cavs. He ended up making two stints with the Cavs and he helped deliver the only title in the history of their franchise. He would have ended up as the 26th-best player on the Win Shares list if you only counted the Cleveland years.

As he was in both actual stints, James will be the primary offensive option on this team. With Price and Irving around him, this team will have no shortage of shooting and secondary creation and could be an absolute handful to deal with at both ends of the floor.
