Former NBA star Eric Bledsoe is currently playing for the Shanghai Sharks in the Chinese Basketball Association.
Bledsoe is trending on Twitter after NBACentral posted a short highlight clip of him dominating the Chinese league. In the video, the veteran is seen outmuscling his opponents, breaking their ankles and scoring on anybody trying to defend him.
Stellar performances should please basketball fans. Unfortunately, many on social media aren't too impressed by Bledsoe's exploits in China. Many believe that the CBA is inferior compared to basketball leagues in the USA. As a result, fans trolled Bledsoe instead of praising them.
