Lakers acquire Chinese `Magic' By Elliott Teaford, Staff Writer Article Last Updated: 08/07/2008 10:44:58 PM PDT
The Lakers and point guard Sun Yue have agreed to terms on a two-season contract, the team confirmed Thursday. The Lakers hope to sign Sun formally within the next few days, team spokesman John Black said.
"Hopefully, it will get done soon," Black said.
Sun, known as the Chinese Magic Johnson because of his eye-catching playmaking ability, will face his future teammate Kobe Bryant when China plays the United States on Sunday in the Olympic Games opener in Beijing.
Nice. I wonder if he'll also contract HIV, have a failed talk show, and open a chain of movie theaters in urban areas of China?
