Hot Tub Time Machine: Marbury, Chinese bring back the '80s

Mar 22, 2010, 2:00 PM EDT

Much commotion today over Stephon Marbury being named MVP of China’s professional basketball All-Star Game, as he scored 30 points and by all accounts saved what was a boring affair with a lot of no-look passes and general Starburyness. More interesting me, however, were two things:
1. In China, Marbury has an interpreter. I thought he needed one when he played in the U.S. … so an interview with him in Chinese must be an amazing adventure.
2. China is about 25 years behind us in uniform technology. The Rainbow guts are back! Long live the Houston Astros’ Tequila Sunrise!

    Wow, JR Richard. That guy threw harder than anyone I’ve ever seen in my life (I’m too young to remember Gibson or Koufax in their prime). Yes, harder than Randy Johnson. Sad he only was able to play 6 or 7 years.
