Sun Yue from the Beijing Aoshen team has been selected as the member of the West All Star team that will play in the ABA All Star Game next month.

Joe Newman, ABA CEO, gave high remarks on the young Chinese player.

"Having a 6 foot, 9 point guard reminds many of Magic Johnson in his style of play. Sun Yue is a force to be reckoned with", said Newman.

Jerry Dupree of the South California Legends joins Sun in the West Team, while Indiana Alley Cats forward Chandler Thompson and Tim Hardaway of the Florida Pitbulls lead the East.

The All Star Game will kick off on February 11 at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.
