Watched half a men's basketball game, felt so cringe, it's several versions behind the times.

Actually, there is a big problem in Chinese sports: currently, the important positions are all held by those old-timers who only value seniority.
They only care about power, stubborn and obstinate.
How can it possibly improve under these circumstances?
PS: The Chinese national football team is indeed terrible, but the CSL matches are actually watchable.
As for the CBA, it's just a bunch of ironworkers fighting each other, or relying on foreign players to go solo. There's nothing interesting, it's a pure waste of time.
