BEIJING AND NEW YORK – The National Basketball Association (NBA) will pay tribute to its largest international fanbase Feb. 20 to March 5 with its biggest ever Chinese New Year Celebration, ushering in the Year of the Goat with millions of fans in China, the US and around the world.

"Chinese New Year is a time of joyful family reunion and provides an occasion for us to share in the festivities by delivering the excitement of the NBA right into the homes of our fans," said NBA China CEO David Shoemaker.
