    Not sure if anyone else had this experience but CBA's Chinese-English translation through Google is hilarious. Some examples:
    'relying on the strength of the outbreak of Yi Jianlian, the Chinese men's basketball 87-67 win in 20 minutes, bloodshed ushered in both the warm-up. Omnipotent Yi Jianlian had 30 points, the team created a personal career high in scoring.
    The beginning of the first Festival, Yi Jianlian was inside, turning the ball hit the jumper, the clarion call sounded offensive. Yi Jianlian of the offensive in a very tough inside, the opponent's foul repeatedly manufacturers.'

    The wrestling post was pretty good, but calling Alonzo Mourning an [profane] is downright shameful. He may have gotten mean on the court, but off the court he's got to rank as one of the classiest players in league history. Where were Latrell Sprewell, Rasheed Wallace, and Jerry Stackhouse? What about Terry Cummings? He's an ordained minister AND he got arrested for taking a gun with him to the airport. That's a wrestling character if ever I heard one.
