The Macau Black Bears (simplified Chinese: 澳门黑熊篮球俱乐部; traditional Chinese: 澳門黑熊籃球俱樂部; pinyin: Àomén Hēi Xióng Lánqiú Jùlèbù) are a Macanese professional basketball team competing in The Asian Tournament.
History
Chong Son Kung Fu was a Chinese basketball team playing in the ASEAN Basketball League.[1][2] Based in Nanhai District, Foshan, Guangdong, the team plays their home games at the 4,000-seated Nanhai Gymnasium. They joined ABL from 2017–18 season as the "Nanhai Long Lions".[3] They changed their name to Nanhai Kung Fu[1] to differentiate themselves from their mother team, the Guanzhou Long Lions.[4] After they partnered with Macau's Grupo Desportivo Chong Son they changed their name once again to their present name by November 2017.[4]
After the 2018 season, the team relocated to Macau to become the Macau Black Bears, in a bid to promote professional basketball in the city. The name was derived Bobo the Black Bear,[5] an individual Asian black bear who first came to public attention in the 1980s when it was rescued from being cooked in a gourmet restaurant as a cub.
The inaugural season was led by General Manager Lukas Peng.[6]
