NBA China Official Player Exposure Rankings: Yang Hansen Leads with 680 Million, Curry Second, James Sixth

On December 30th Beijing time, the NBA China official account published the exposure ranking for players in the 2025-26 season. Chinese player Yang Hansen leads with 680 million exposures, followed by Warriors star Curry with 210 million, and Lakers star Doncic in third place with 170 million exposures.

The players ranked from 4th to 10th are: 4. Wembanyama (160 million), 5. Reeves (160 million), 6. James (150 million), 7. Harden (110 million), 8. Durant (80 million), 9. Alexander (60 million), and 10. Jokic (50 million).

Exposure volume somewhat reflects player popularity this season. Since this data comes from the official Chinese account, it’s not surprising that Yang ranks first. As the only local Chinese player currently in the NBA, Yang Hansen attracts attention regardless of his performance.

Besides Yang Hansen, Curry has the highest exposure. After transferring to the Lakers, Doncic’s exposure has also significantly increased. Nicknamed “The Alien,” Wembanyama is a rapidly rising NBA star. Interestingly, Reeves, who has emerged strongly this season with the Lakers, has even surpassed teammate James in exposure. Harden and Durant remain highly popular stars, while MVP contenders Alexander and Jokic rank only 9th and 10th.

This ranking also reflects the level of attention these NBA players receive in China. Which ranking surprised you the most? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
