Yes you read that correctly; former #2 overall pick and NBA All-star Steve Francis played his debut game with the Beijing Ducks on the CBA (China Basketball Association) last earlier this AM.
Francis was inked to a two year deal with the Ducks back in November. He joins fellow NBA has been Stephon Marbury on the squad and also hip hop basketball icon Allen Iverson overseas.
