After a playoff loss, Houston head coach, Jeff Van Gundy alleged that Yao Ming, his Chinese star center, was the victim of phantom calls. This book shows how this incident can be seen as a pivotal moment in the globalization of the NBA. It also explains how allegations of phantom calls challenge the fiction that America is a post-racial society.
