Former NBA star Stephon Marbury (middle) says he is "addicted to acting" after starring in his first movie My Other Home. The movie, which features incidents from Marbury's life, is now being screened on the Chinese mainland.

The film, which starts with the story of Marbury's fall in the United States, focuses on the revival of his career in Beijing, the city which has become his second home.

The movie features pop idols, and Bruneian actor Wu Chun, a heartthrob for many Chinese fans, stars as Marbury's agent in the movie. The basketball star's Beijing teammates were played by stars like Taiwan-born Canadian model-actor Godfrey Gao and model-actor Vivian Dawson from New Zealand.

Meanwhile, Marbury says there will be a sequel. Director Yang Zi says he was lucky that most of the actors could also play basketball.
