Marbury, Douby lead CBA All-Stars

Former NBA players ready to impress audience in Sunday's game, Sun Xiaochen reports

BEIJING - Former NBA backcourt players Stephon Marbury and Quincy Douby will slug it out to wow the local fans at the Chinese Basketball Association's (CBA) All-Star Game on March 20 at the Beijing MasterCard Center (formerly known as Wukesong Arena).

Since top local hoopsters Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian left their homeland to play in the NBA, in 2002 and 2007 respectively, China's All-Star Game has seen a sharp decline in star power and has been struggling to discover more domestic basketball icons.
