Doesn't Chris Herren play for the "Peking Ducks"? 

I'd love to get a "Herren" Peking Ducks jersey as a 
souvenir from E-Bay. Or to be the headline 
writer/publicist for that team.

I lived in Beijing (Peking) for a year in '91. You could 
get a Peking Duck banquet and all the Tsingtao you can 
possibly drink for around 8-10 dollars back then. That 
could serve three big people easily. It was the post-
Tienanmen Square recession I guess. FWIW, my impression 
of China is that they love basketball. I read that more 
Chinese play organized hoops by far than any country in 
the world...its some kind of ridiculous number like 60 
million (I don't accurately recall). I'm not assuming the 
pro playing level is that high in China, but I imagine 
Herren is going up against guards of a fairly high 
calibre. I saw lots of street ballhandlers who were way 
better and lankier than successful Boston highschool 
players. And Chinese guards are ballhogs....Yao Ming 
knows this very well.
