Last week the Chinese Basketball Association made a rule banning NBA players who were still under contract from playing in their professional league, but that's not stopping some from getting around it. According to one lucrative, yet desperate team, it would be worth the price of admission just to see Kobe Bryant in pregame shoot-arounds, followed only by him riding the bench for all four quarters.

"This is great thing!" The basketball team Shanxi Zhongyu's American translator, Xao Phing joyously details. "Ev-rybody be taking photo of Mr. Bryant on side-rine. Nobody notice anymore how bad our team pray!" Mr. Phing took his cocktail and joined the rest of the front office in what appeared to be a Finals-like champagne celebration.Shanxi's party may be a little premature, however. Kobe has yet to agree to the proposed deal. Some sources close to Bryant feel that it's only a matter of time till he accepts.
"The hardest part for Kobe will be havin' to sit and watch shitty basketball for two hours." Jason Mussmen, Lakers' representative, and friend explains that the change won't be that difficult if he decides to make the time zone leap. Adding that the MVP's comfort level shouldn't be affected, saying, "He [Kobe] lives in Los Angeles. He's used to having a lot of Asians take his picture."
