The Macau Black Bears (simplified Chinese : 澳门黑熊篮球俱乐部; traditional Chinese : 澳門黑熊籃球俱樂部; pinyin : Àomén Hēi Xióng Lánqiú Jùlèbù ) are a Macanese professional basketball team.
History
Chong Son Kung Fu was a Chinese basketball team playing in the ASEAN Basketball League. Based in Nanhai District , Foshan , Guangdong , the team plays their home games at the 4,000-seated Nanhai Gymnasium. They joined ABL from 2017–18 season as the "Nanhai Long Lions". They changed their name to Nanhai Kung Fu to differentiate themselves from their mother team, the Guanzhou Long Lions. After they partnered with Macau's Grupo Desportivo Chong Son they changed their name once again to their present name by November 2017.
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, 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 General Manager Lukas Peng.
