NBA Cares -- Special Olympics Basketball Clinic Held in Macau  

MACAU, October 19 -- One week after the successful closing of the 2007 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Shanghai, a NBA Cares Special Olympics Basketball Clinic was held as part of the 2007 NBA China Games on October 19, 2007 at the Macau Venetian Arena in the principality of Macau, China. This is the first sign of the legacy left by the most successful World Summer Games ever held in the history of Special Olympics.

During the one-hour training session, basketball stars from Orlando Magic played basketball with young local Special Olympics athletes at the Macau Venetian Arena. Special Olympics athletes also presented Special Olympics flags to the stars to show their appreciation.
