Ways Yi Jianlian and I are similar

1. We are both under the age of 23
2. We both have virtually no basketball experience against elite competition
3. We rock old men and furniture in games of one-on-one
4. We think Larry Harris and the Milwaukee Bucks are delusional if they believeYi Jianlian is playing professionally in Milwaukee

Seriously, what indicated to the Bucks that Yi wanted to play in Milwaukee? The fact that we were not invited to his private workouts? The fact that his agents said he would not play here? Maybe they thought that all 8 Chinese Milwaukeeans would attract him here, and they could start a very small, quaint China village (or just live in a very large house together).

Ugh. Larry Harris's bullshit is tainting my Percocet buzz.

UPDATE: Now, in addition to Yi's representation and Yi himself not wanting to play in Milwaukee, the Chinese National Team is forbidding him from doing so. And based on what I learned about the nation of China from Jack Bauer and 24, I'd say this is more a promise than a threat.
