TO GO WITH AFP STORY "Basket-CHN-NBA-CBA-Wells" by Robert Saiget Former NBA star Bonzi Wells gestures while leading Shanxi to victory over the Beijing Ducks during CBA action in Taiyuan on January 7, 2009 in northern China's Shanxi province. Wells, 32, has received a maddening welcome since arriving in China last month to play basketball, with the state media dubbing the former NBA star the best player ever to grace the Chinese Basketball Association. And in a badly needed win last week against the Beijing Ducks, Wells scored 19 of his 44 points in the fourth quarter as Shanxi turned a close game into an impressive 98-83 win. AFP PHOTO/Frederic J.
