Lei Tien

You cannot tell the story of Taiwanese basketball without Tien Lei. From Kaohsiung through National Taiwan Normal University, he became one of the island's most gifted offensive players, racking up scoring and rebounding titles in the Super Basketball League. What I appreciate just as much is the second act: now serving as chairman of the Formosa Dreamers, he has stayed inside the game he once lit up. A star who turns to building the league rather than walking away is exactly the kind of figure a sport needs. To me he reads like a living chapter of Taiwanese basketball history, and he has my respect on both fronts.
