He has been the 2nd player who grew up in NC and plays for Ducks.

1/26/2014 1:19:42 PM

I wonder if the tag on that jersey says Made In America?

1/26/2014 1:22:14 PM

UPS...wtf

1/26/2014 1:33:44 PM

^ America is the only place in the world where a majority of teams don't have sponsor logos featured prominently on their jerseys.

And plenty do.

1/26/2014 2:07:38 PM

^ WNBA does it because they've been a league that always loses money.

MLS does it to seemingly satisfy eurosnobs (plus a little extra money is always nice).

^^ On the left: Good looking white girl. On the right: Good looking black girl. In the Middle:

It really depends on the sponsor.

Emirates Airlines, Unicef, or Vodaphone: decently classy companies/orgs

Boost Mobile, Net10, Garbage Prepaid Cellphone Company: may as well be Chico's Bail Bonds

The porrution there is bad. Hope it doesnt affect the indoor games.

1/26/2014 10:45:58 PM

Luckily not.
Damien is recognized as humble, professional, nice, hardworking and responsible.
Pretty much the style of Tar heel and North Carolina.

1/26/2014 10:57:52 PM

True dat. Go Tal Heers!

could have been a Worfpack regend, but his dad and uncre wewr clazy

1/26/2014 11:07:18 PM

His dad is also famous?

[Edited on January 26, 2014 at 11:08 PM. Reason : He can score 16 pts in one quarter in China. So easy for him!]

1/26/2014 11:08:07 PM

He is facing inferior competition in China

1/26/2014 11:13:05 PM

Chinese national team is ranked 5th in Asia. They even got beaten by Taiwan

[Edited on January 26, 2014 at 11:22 PM. Reason : So every former NBA player can dominate China basically.]

1/26/2014 11:19:02 PM

do you think Clemson could beat the Chinese national team?

1/26/2014 11:22:01 PM

I'm sure UCONN can.
My uncle told me top 4 NCAA teams could defeat China.
But Clemson is too weak.

1/26/2014 11:23:14 PM

no NCAA teams could beat the worst NBA team

1/26/2014 11:29:14 PM

You sure?
2011 Uconn can't beat 2011 Bobcats?

1/26/2014 11:30:33 PM

How many players on the 2011 UConn team play in the NBA?

1/26/2014 11:33:02 PM

Maybe you are right. I'm not sure.

1/26/2014 11:35:59 PM

three?

paging nym410: is AO on an NBA roster?

1/26/2014 11:40:41 PM

12/15 > 3

it's like when people say Alabama would beat the Jaguars. They're retarded.

Dude comes back to US already.



[Edited on January 27, 2014 at 8:48 AM. Reason : Chinese fans don't want to let him go]

You're an idiot

1/27/2014 9:23:01 AM

He may find a new offer in NBA, Boston or Atlanta.

1/27/2014 9:27:23 AM

Unlike those arrogant expats playing in China, D is amazingly humble and keeps a low-key. That's why Chinese people love him. He used significantly short time to adjust to the new country, new environment and new team.

1/27/2014 1:48:28 PM

he kinda looks like kevin garnett in the face

1/27/2014 1:50:55 PM

KG is from South Carolina. Not far from him.

1/27/2014 1:53:29 PM

he looks a bit like Gerald Wilkins

1/27/2014 2:14:13 PM

More like The Human Highlight Film.
You know what Chinese fans call him at first? The Human Highlight TV.
He has some good highlights. That's not easy as a 34-yr old veteran.

Did the blonde chick on the left go to Tenn or Texas or something? Whats her name?

1/28/2014 7:53:18 PM

nah, that's Elena Delle Donne

1/28/2014 8:00:28 PM

She went to Delaware.

1/28/2014 8:19:10 PM

She's beautifur

1/28/2014 8:23:20 PM

The fans and club held a small farewell ceremony right after his final game. Dude scored 32 pts.
Then the stadium was surrounded with the song Hero of Mariah Carey.
Since all-star game in 2003, I haven't seen this song given as a tribute to a basketball player.

I believe Herro was originally performed by Lionel Richie

1/29/2014 3:11:33 PM

it was Rionel, who performed it while dancing on the ceiring

Chinese youtube

1/29/2014 4:03:13 PM

Why can't he be as good as his father or uncle?

1/29/2014 10:57:08 PM

if he was even as good as his father he never would've had to go play in China

1/29/2014 11:00:16 PM

I know, but why?
He doesn't have to because his family is already very rich?

I guess so.

Marbury recommended him to Beijing among several candidates. His family background certainly helps.
