- Hong_Wah_Kues abstract "The Hong Wah Kues (Chinese: 宏華僑 or 弘華僑) were a San Francisco-based all Chinese American professional basketball team that participated in the barnstorming circuits during the late 1930s. They were also the first Chinese professional team. Started in 1939 with six players, the Hong Wah Kues became known for their speed and quick passing. Contemporaries of the Harlem Globetrotters, the Hong Wah Kues made inroads into the world of basketball before disbanding with the start of World War II. Playing only two season due to the disruption of war, the Hong Wah Kues drew players and fans from the Chinatown community. Other barnstormers included the New York Renaissance, Toledo Brown Bombers, Cleveland-Rosenbloom Celtics, Missouri-based Olson’s Terrible Swedes, South Philadelphia Hebrew Association, and Indianapolis Kautskys.The characters representing Hong Wah Kue, which according to several accounts means "Brave (Great) Chinese Warriors" in Cantonese. In the transliteration, the 僑 suggests "compatriots" more so than "warriors." Consistency in use of "kue" also indicates direction towards the same character, as opposed to others like 過, which mean passing over.".
