I live in Shanghai, and yes, Marbury is a star here, especially in Beijing, the city in which he plays. This was the perfect spot for him to come to: he is one of the better players and is actually respected; he is expected to be a leader on the team, a part which he generally fulfills, the fans adore him, and could care less about his past failures and eccentricities. Just hope that the pictured game was an aberration - China and Marbury have been good for each other.
