Korea Basketball League (KBL) game; Samsung Thunder defeat SK Knights; Dec. 17, 2011

This was a very entertaining game, with Samsung prevailing 83-78 in overtime.  Each team is allowed two foreign players, which are often Americans.  Although the foreign players usually seem to play the whole game, the Korean players are quite skilled, particularly some of the speedy guards.

This was interesting when, during halftime, they had a kids game between "Samsung" and "SK" teams.  One of the Samsung foreign players came out of the locker room early to watch and the kids mobbed him.  He was very supportive and high-fived all the kids, which I thought was pretty cool...
