Not Available Lead

The Chinese Basketball Association has become a place for former NBA stars, like Stephon Marbury and Metta World Peace, to extend their careers a few seasons longer. You'd think former NBA players would get the royal treatment when coming over to the CBA, but for former Piston Will Bynum that just wasn't the case.

After signing with the Guangdong Southern Tigers on December 5, Bynum made his CBA debut this past weekend. Unfortunately, his uniform wasn't quite ready to go yet, so the Tigers had to make do with what they had, taping a piece of paper with a No. 1 on the back of his jersey. Here's to hoping that the Tigers can get Bynum a proper jersey before the team's game tonight against the Zhejiang Guangsha Lions.

Check out Will Bynum's makeshift jersey below, as well as the Nike Kobe 9 Elite "Strategy" he laced up for his CBA debut.
