Former NBA All-Star Marbury finds rebirth in China

The veteran finished with a game-high 38 points.

"So thankful Beijing gave me the opportunity to play in the Capital of CHINA. The memories will live in me throughout my history of living,#Love is love#" he wrote.

'Love is love', Marbury's catchword, follows the now well-behaved player wherever he goes and Chinese fans and the Beijing team never hide their love to the American.

Outside Beijing's home court Wukesong Stadium stands a Marbury statue which was built by Beijing fans. In April 2014, the American was named honorary citizen of Beijing.

A lone wolf in NBA, Marbury is now the leader of the pack in China.

"I always talk about the characteristics of the wolf and Marbury speaks for it. The wolves are aggressive, don't easily flinch and they are united. I hope we keep going like a pack of wolves," said Beijing head coach Min Lulei after Tuesday's games.
