The NBA Jam Van, the NBA's premiere interactive touring program, will make its second visit to China next week.

The 16-meter truck will make its first stop in Shanghai next Saturday, and then travel 15 cities all throughout China before it stops in Chengdu in early October.

The 18,000-kilometer tour is expected to bring the NBA experience to Chinese fans through free basketball activities such as jamming slam dunks and sinking three-pointers.

It will also bring with it some off-court activities, including video games, player measure-up areas and other displays.

Over one million Chinese fans participated in the NBA festival when the Jam Van made its debut in China last year
