A new charity initiative helped basketball players rediscover their childhood joy at playing the game while also inspiring youngsters to exercise more on Saturday.

As part of the CBA's efforts to be more active socially, representatives of the North and South All-Star teams visited the Guangzhou Li Xian Primary School to play games with the students.

The players had to stoop to interact with their new, young friends, but thoroughly enjoyed chasing them around the playground during the one-hour session.
