VIDEO: Michael Beasley and Delonte West in Shanghai

The Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association may very well be the most entertaining basketball team on the planet this season.

Owned by team president and NBA legend Yao Ming, the Sharks traded former NBA players Quincy Douby and Darnell Jackson this offseason and replaced them with Michael Beasley and Delonte West.

Beasley and West, two of the most eccentric NBA talents of the past decade, on the same basketball team ... in China. If the early social media returns are any indication, this is going to be a lot of fun.

Also of note from Beasley's Instagram post is that his handle is joven_hielo, Spanish for Young Ice. As for the budding friendship (and, of course, the eventual buddy cop movie), well, D-West is kinda ok too, right Beas?
