    Script:

    The U.S Basketball Legends team arrived in the Jiangsu province city of Wuxi on Monday, to play the second of their three-game series against the Beijing Ducks.

    Allen Iverson and Dennis Rodman were leading the legends against the Chinese League champions, and they showed they've still got some serious crowd pulling power.

    Over 5,000 fans turned up to watch the game and Iverson was overwhelmed.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Allen Iverson:

    "To have so many fans over here, is just a blessing. And the opportunity to play in China would be a great opportunity for me and hopefully something like that will happen in the near future."

    Dennis Rodman has also been a major attraction.

    Now 51 years old, Rodman played 20 minutes on Monday, and scored two points.

    Iverson says he's a huge asset for the team.

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Allen Iverson:

    "Obviously, with all his experience, he has been able to help, help the younger guys and he has been a great asset to this team. And I think with his experience, he is going to help a lot of this young guys. He played well tonight."

    The Legends continue their tour of China, with Rodman sure to keep the crowds happy with more shots like this.
