Michael Beasley named Chinese League MVP

Michael Beasley was named the Chinese League MVP this week. He averaged 31.9 points, 13.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.3 blocks per game, plus shot better than 40 percent from three leading the Shandong Golden Stars back to the playoffs.

Beasley was named to the Chinese League All-Star team and for the second straight year won the MVP of that game.

It should be noted the Chinese Basketball Association has dual MVPs, one for a foreign player (won by Beasley), and one for a domestic player. Former NBA player Yi Jianlian was named the Chinese MVP.
