    Yes. Good read. Been following news of Marbury's year in China on the news and it's good to hear that he seems happier there than he's been in the NBA. In fact, he's been such a team leader and model citizen that teammates took to calling him "Commissar Marbury" (a communist party official).


    Here's a cartoon someone made and tweeted to Marbury himself:

    The words say "Learn from Commissar Marbury." It's a joking reference to an old communist propaganda icon:

    That was a good read. I'm glad he's opening up his mind to a different culture.

    Marbury's team won the first game 108-101, both he and Brooks got 30+....similar stats, but Brooks also had 8 turnovers....

    It is a best of 5 series.

    The article very clearly states that it's a best of 7.

    Nice read. Good for Marbury (no longer Starbury). Stick to what makes you happy.

    Ah, every other round was best of 5, I guess the final must be 7, thanks...

    Right, it's a 1-2-2-2 format, pretty strange one.
