Bonzi Wells was playing in China..can I get a headband still?
BEIJING — Chinese basketball team Shanxi Zhongyu has sacked superstar import Bonzi Wells after the former National Basketball Association (NBA) bad boy failed to return from a holiday in his native United States, his club said Monday.
Wells, 32, dubbed by the local media the best player to have ever graced the Chinese Basketball Association after joining Zhongyu in December, had his contract terminated late last week, an employee at the club told Agence France-Presse.
I didn’t know that Bonzi was playing in China but wow…what a long fall for a once promising player. When he first came to the league from Ball State (home of David Letterman), he was loaded with talent, could shoot a decent jumper, and was too big for most wing players to deal with on the low block. Problem was that Bonzi was a giant a-hole and ended up burning his way out of the league. At least he was involved in catchy tune that immortalized the “Jail Blazer” era. (Yes, I can still remember most of the lyrics by heart…)
