Former NBA all-star guard Stephon Marbury has agreed to play for Shanxi, a professional team in China. Wang Xingjiang, head of the team, called the signing “a reward to our fans.” “Marbury’s salary is not an astronomical figure because by coming here he also hopes to open up the Chinese market and sell his shoes,” Wang said, referring to the guard’s line of Starbury basketball apparel. Marbury said he wasn’t daunted by the language barrier. “I’ll communicate with the fans through my basketball,” he said. Otherwise, Marbury might have to learn the Mandarin translation of “malcontent.”
