Remember Bob Weiss, the hapless baldie on the Sonics sideline whose inability to get his team even to pantomime defense led to his firing 30 games into the 05'-06' season? Now remember Bonzi Wells, the foulmouthed, free-spitting former Blazers swingman who, in explaining a home game in which he threw towels and water bottles on the court and flipped the bird to some fans, said "I just black out sometimes"?

Well, the basketball gods have brought them together--in China, with the Shanxi Zhongyu. (Just three years ago, Wells turned down a $36 million contract in the NBA.) In keeping with the disciplined nature of Weiss' teams, Wells recently concluded a three-game stretch in which he went 11-54 from three-point range. Read the hilarious highlights here.
