Arriving in China a month ago, Eric Bledsoe is taking advantage of his adventure in Shanghai to have a good time on the court. His last performance in the Sharks jersey? 51 points, 18 rebounds, 8 assists, 0 lost balls, 11 3-point shots.
Ahhh China, this country where former NBA players – shunned by the leaders of the Great League – have fun while filling their bank account well. Eric Bledsoe is therefore one of those. Transferred from the Clippers to the Blazers during the Trade Deadline 2022 but not playing a single game with Portland (due to an Achilles tendon injury), “Mini-LeBron” had been cut this summer, before signing in Shanghai on November 19 amid charges of domestic violence (dismissed).
And typically, it is to achieve this kind of performance that Bledsoe decided to join the Middle Kingdom.

Being able to take yourself for LeBron, Curry and CP3 at the same time is priceless.
It remains to be seen if this type of performance will catch the eye of an NBA manager looking for regular season leading experience, Bledsoe undoubtedly keeping the Big League in the back of his mind at the end of the season. 33 years old. Two seasons ago, E-Bled was still a member of an All-NBA Defensive Team, and was shooting 9.9 points – 4.2 assists – 1.3 steals last year in the Clippers jersey.
