As a Bucks fan, I've been watching the whole situation with Yi Jianlian. Today really ticked me off, though. Apparently, Yao Ming was reprimanded because he was late for practice for the Chinese national team. His reason was because he was planning for his wedding and helping out with special olympics activities.
This is just ridiculous. Yi's reputation is getting worse each day that he doesn't join the Bucks. Now, Yao is told that he can't be a good human being. China is willing to destroy people's reputations as long as their national team does well. That's all they care about.
The Bucks need to hold strong right now. If China wants experience for Yi in the NBA, he'll have to get it with the Bucks or not get it at all. I'm starting to feel bad for Yi because it seems like he doesn't have a say in what happens. He may never get a chance in the NBA just because of his government. He does have options, but they're pretty drastic.
What does everyone else think?|||who cares?|||China has a selfish government. it sucks living there if you are a chinese.|||theyre a communist country. what else would you expect from them really?|||i agree with u that Yi doesn't seem to have ant power in the situation i think that his agent and perhaps people connected with the Chinese national team feel that bucks aren't the right situation for him because it isn't a big enough market and it isn't enough of an Asian market for them to relay capitalize on merchandising. i feel bad for the bucks because i dont think they realized the situation they were getting into when they drafted him its ironic because so many players have their character put into question which makes their draft value fall but nobody relay anticipated this being a big issue for the team that drafted
