Kobe, CP3 Can't Play In China!

Kobe Bryant, say goodbye to your Chinese basketball career.

The Chinese Basketball Association issued the first in what is expected to be a series of rules and regulations regarding the possible entry of NBA players in the league.

This first rule may be the toughest one, as NBA superstars like Bryant, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul are now effectively banned from joining the league.

Only NBA free agents will be allowed to sign contract with the league and another restriction that will be imposed is that they have to stay for the entire season. This runs counter to the present contracts being signed by NBA players with other leagues, wherein an opt out clause is included.
