Female Bodyguard Training In China Involves Bikinis, Human Centipedes

Trainees gather at the beach as they wait for the beginning of a training session for female bodyguards organised by Tianjiao Special Guard/Security Consultant Ltd. Co. in Sanya, Hainan province January 8, 2012. According to the company, a total of 20 women, mostly college graduates, participated in the training session on Sunday, which was the first open group training for female bodyguards in China. All trainees will have to undergo 8-10 months of training to develop sufficient skills to serve their clients. The company will offer the best trainee a chance to attend further study at the International Security Academy in Israel. Picture taken January 8, 2012.

China's not dumb.  I don't think they're training body guards as much as they are taking a page from Vladimir Putin's book and are starting a female army for sexy time and distraction on the way to world domination.  Watch out, the cold world may be back on.  Someone alert The Wolverines

We've already covered Bosh's crazy ass tattoo, so we had to have the update with his useless explanation (via Bastketball Jones):

Bosh: I mean it’s ummm … I like art. You know, so it was pretty much just a collage of everything that I like and a lot of it, all of it has meaning. A lot of history. My history, it’s my history. Everything has, you know … it’s not done yet. It’s a work in progress, so people are “Ohh, what’s that? It’s ugly.”

Interviewer: Is there a little spot open for the NBA championship trophy?

Bosh: Yeah, I mean, it worked for Jason Terry. I might as well do it too.

If you can't explain why you got a tattoo, never mind a back full of random tattoos, it probably wasn't a good idea.  Just sayin'.

PS:  The NBA needs to end this lockout asap.

Stephon Marbury has brought all hoops fans amazing levels of unintentional comedy, especially during his "Truck Party" time with the Knicks.  Anytime you can pair him and Isiah Thomas up on the same team, you have to do it.  The strange thing is, this article in GQ about his time in China definitely paints him in a different light.  Steph actually has some things going with Starbury in China.  It's an interesting read, if you have the time.

However, if you don't have as much time, or don't read so good, here is the way I prefer to think of Stephon Marbury:



"Oh man, I think I'm average 10 points, like 12, 13 dimes, like two, three assists, and about four, five rebounds..."
