In the Super League roster, many teams have five-man basketball professional players. When asked about the relationship between the CBA and the three-man basketball league, Yao Ming said that there is no primary and secondary distinction between the two: “They are two different games. To a certain extent, like indoor volleyball and beach volleyball, the CBA and the Super Three League are the top leagues in China for five-a-side basketball and three-person basketball respectively. Of course, there are also many basketball players who play three- or five-a-side games across borders. I think this diversity of competition will make the league more exciting and enrich the experience for athletes and spectators.”
