Basketball's getting more popular, but there's still a long way to go

Basketball has increased in popularity in China in recent years, partly due to the success of players like Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian in the NBA.

In this week's Ask About Britain, Finn visits a professional basketball team in London to find out more, while Jean Dong reveals she's not a bad basketball player herself.

When you’ve listened to Finn’s report, why not take our quiz to check your understanding?
