    [​IMG]Stephon Marbury is a champion…in China. Starbury, who’s become a huge sensation in the Chinese Basketball Association after reinventing himself as an accessible man of the people halfway across the world from where he once starred in the NBA, led the Beijing Ducks to their first CBA League title in franchise history, after scoring a game-high 41 points to seal a 4-1 series victory over fellow American Aaron Brooks’ team.


    Beijing Ducks, led by former NBA star Stephon Marbury who notched game-high 41 points on Friday night, clinched their first-ever title of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league.

    Edging defending champions Guangdong Hongyuan 124-121 at home, Beijing Ducks, who entered the finals for the first time, won 4-1 on aggregate in the best-of-seven series. Guangdong had been crowned seven times in the past eight seasons.

    With the breathtaking victory, Beijing Ducks became the fourth CBA title holder in 17 years, following eight-time winners Bayi Rockets, Shanghai Sharks and Guangdong Hongyuan.

    “I still can’t believe we won the title and I need some time to accept the fact. Before the new season was launched, the team had been confident in playing better, but it’s been a mere dream to win the title for us,” Beijing coach Min Lulei said after the tough duel.

    Marbury, who had never played in NBA or CBA finals before the year 2012, vowed to win a league title when he came to China three years ago. His dream also came true tonight.

    Marbury was again the man of the match, chipping in 41 points, three rebounds and seven assists while teenager Zhai Xiaochuan added 22 points. Beijing’s another foreign player Randolph Morris was not on fire from the field but his consistent free throw gifted him 14 points.

    The main threat to Beijing tonight came from Aaron Brooks, also a former NBA star, who collected 33 points, four rebounds and five assists for the visitors while James Singleton added 29 points and nine rebounds.

    Congrats to Marbury for beating the 7 time defending champs, who chose the wrong foreign player this year.

    A cheap Chinese-made championship for a guy who sold cheap Chinese-made sneakers.

    If that isn't poetry I don't know what is.

    How many foreign players can a team sign? 2-3?

    If Marbury, Brooks, and Francis signs with the same team, would that be like Miami's big 3 (2.5)?

    In a way yes..... Kobe himself thought about China if there was a lockout for half a year or a year
    Rules didn't allow him to go back to the NBA once the season started.

    One day, hopefully we'll see NBA champs and CBA champs face off to crown a real world champion. NBA would prolly win 9 times out of 10 though.

    Yeah, and it doesn't appear that anybody is doing anything about it. I am hoping that behind the scenes CD and Rudy T and Cuttino are trying to get to him. Because if he doesn't get help, he's gonna be a newspaper headline before long.
