Anyone picture him dunking all over a bunch of 6-2 guys!

Or eating with chop sticks?

Awesome for Tiny. I hope he is getting paid well.

To clarify, he put up those numbers in the NBL, which is a minor league. The top tier league in China is the CBA.

That's not meant to dog Tiny's performance; rather, it's to clarify that it's not the same Chinese league that guys like Marbury, Telfair, and Ivan Johnson played in. The team that Mudiay signed with is also in the CBA.

What does NBL stand for? What's the pay?

I was a pretty decent basketball player (all conference in high school and played at the NAIA level).....not a superstar but I was pretty good.

the most I have ever scored in a game was 32....and I was dead tired after.....and I don't think I EVER had 16 rebounds in a single game..I cannot imagine AVERAGING 38 points and 16 rebounds!!!! At ANY professional level those are pretty sick numbers....and I realize there is probably a significant difference between his league and the premier league....but they are still pro athletes at some level.....even at a small college level, putting those numbers up would be impressive.

I just imagine him standing at the rim and throwing it off the backboard 4 times a possession before laying it in, never leaving his feet the whole time.
