NBA's loss could end up being China's gain, Marbury says
Former NBA all-star and current Beijing Ducks guard says CBA is on the rise
BEIJING - Stephon Marbury says he saw the current NBA lockout coming three years ago and believes it can only benefit basketball in China and the rest of the world.
"I think it was going to be this way regardless," the 34-year-old former NBA star guard said of the growth of the game in China at the launch of the Chinese Basketball Association's (CBA) 2011-2012 league here on Wednesday.
