TWICE NBA All-Star point guard Stephon Marbury will become the highest profile American to play in the Chinese Basketball Association after he agreed to join China's Shanxi Dragons.
The 32-year-old, a free agent since leaving the Boston Celtics last season, has agreed a deal with the northern club and will arrive in Shanxi next week, the team said. The 2001 and 2003 NBA All-Star was expected to help boost Shanxi's ticket sales as well as its chances of making the playoffs. Shanxi is currently 15th in the 17-team league. Shanxi boss Wang Xingjiang said that Marbury's salary would not be too high because the former New Jersey Nets and Phoenix Suns player wanted to promote his personal brand of shoes in China.
