Kobe and a band of NBA players may be headed to China due to the lockout

The LA Times reported on Saturday that Kobe Bryant, along with about 12-20 other NBA players, may be headed to China to play a tour of games. This report is more likely than not, especially for Kobe, since he has already deemed China his "home away from home", as it should be due to his massive fan following there. With the NBA just starting its lockout, which has no end in sight, who are we to tell unemployed men not to take their talents to China for compensation via the Yen(the currency of China)? If it were to happen, one of the first places Kobe would be stopping is the Mercedez-Benz Arena in Shanghai. Mercedez-Benz has been running a commercial for months featuring the Smart Car, which is owned by Mercedez-Benz.
