    Bonzi had a really explosive show in his first appearance in the Chinese basketball league, with 47 points, 11 rebounds and 7 steals.

    I know some of you might think this is just another piece of evidence showing the CBA is just a joke, but I have to say Chinese fans are really thrilled to wath NBA-caliber players exploded on their home soil. Fans are fans, and Chinese fans are genuine ones.

    BTW, I just heard yesterday some Chinese announcers speculated that Chuck Hayes and Luther Head were likely to land contracts with CBA teams sometime later in their careers.

    Again, CBA is nothing to compare to NBA, but I see this as an unfair comparison. Fans just want to watch good players play basketball, no matter the arena is here in China or over there in America.

    The Rockets team and players really have good exposure in China. Chinese fans know the name of every player on the roster. No doubt about that.

    Two other ex-Rockets players are currently playing with CBA teams, Mike Harris and Kirk Snyder.

    Makes you wonder how many points Kobe/Wade/Lebron/etc. could get against a CBA team.

    47 for Bonzi?

    Thread title misleading. Assumed he committed suicide. Makes more sense.

    Well since Krispy Kreme doesn't exist in China I guess he is getting back into shape. :confused:

    Bonzi WAS a good player. He wouldn't be playing in the CBA if he still had game.

    Maybe they can convince some other players to join them and make an all ex-Rockets team.

    They can tour China and put on shows like the Globetrotters.

    yeah.. bonzi could do that in the euro leaugue too. he wasn't exactly a scrub in the nba either.

    It's not like he's Gabe Muoneke. Bonzi is legit when he wants to be.

    The CBA is more legit than your attempt at humor.

    Bonzi lit us up one game we played against the Hornets last year. He's just an idiot.
