Chong Son Kung Fu was a Chinese basketball team playing in the ASEAN Basketball League.[1][2] The team was baed in Nanhai District, Foshan, Guangdong and played their home games at the 4,000-seated Nanhai Gymnasium. They joined the ABL from 2017–18 season as "Nanhai Long Lions", the affiliate team of Guangzhou Loong Lions.[3] They changed their name to Nanhai Kung Fu[1] to differentiate themselves from their mother team, the Guanzhou Long Lions.[4] After they partnered with Macau's Grupo Desportivo Chong Son they changed their name once again to their present name by November 2017.[4]
After the 2018 season, the team relocated to Macau to become the Macau Black Bears, in a bid to promote professional basketball in the city. The name was derived Bobo the Black Bear,[5] an individual Asian black bear who first came to public attention in the 1980s when it was rescued from being cooked in a gourmet restaurant as a cub. The inaugural season was led by the general manager Lukas Peng.[6] They currently compete in the East Asia Super League and periodically in The Asian Tournament.
