Also from the China Daily...

I bet many of you NBA fans out there are asking yourself: "Geesh, I'm glad the NBA is back, but what I really miss is Stephon Marbury. The world is not the same without him".

Well, fear not! He has a weekly column in the China Daily. Here is one of them from a few weeks ago.

"The world has taken notice of our start..." Jay - isn't that correct? Aren't you noticing the 10-0 start of the Beijing Ducks and putting them in your daily 3-team parlay?
