Yao is Yao，Yi is Yi，Yao is a C，Yi is a Pf，Rockets is a western team and Nets is a eastern team，why compare between Yao and Yi。。。。

Go Tang Man! Only an idiot can't see that greater than 20 equals 22.3. Silly AhLian, you should no better. Shake My Head. (Seriously, Tang. Stop being a trolling douche. There was a good discussion going on, and you come in a nit-pick over 2 points. It's unacceptable.)

Who's fault is it for not being clear? When speculating, please use terms: around, about, etc instead of placement terms: above, lower than, etc.

Complaining about playing time, care for injuries, no fans. Someone had posted that management was glad to have finally gotten rid of Yi because of his handlers. I don't think of Yi as being arrogant, but just looking at the people he trusts with his career giving Milwaukee management a bad time throughout the season, can swell a guy's head. IN NJ he's going to have the best of both worlds, the media market, yet not being IN the media market. His handlers can choose what to do and when to do it, knowing them, they're diving in full bore, but it could be taxing on Yi. On the basketball side of things, can't get any better than having a GM like Thorn and Kiki on his side. Plus I think Frank will get Yi to work on his weaknesses.

WOO......</div> When did Yi call out Michael Redd and Mo Williams for being ball hogs? I may have missed this but could you provide a source? Thanks. </div> Yi didn't call them out, the fans did. For instance, on Dec 22, Yi had 29 points. Redd froze out Yi during the 4th Quarter, he didn't get a chance to break 30 points. There were a lot of times when Redd would pad his stats at the expense of his own teammates. This style of selfishness spread over the season. I don't know what it means when a rookie has his best month in December and then collapse for the rest of the season. Probably mental fatigue. Yet, Yi's bad play is consistent with the results of the Bucks team overall.
I don't understand why Yi stopped shooting 3's after December + January. He shot like 4 when he played Yao the first time.

Whatever. Just because a guy's named jerkstore dosen't mean he's a jerk. there's 2 pages of back and forth snippiness involving accurate stat information. For your information I was trying to come up with a constructive post and then when I checked the info I found it was wrong. Sorry for being an asshole, but I don't need a pocket translator to check someone on snippiness if I feel like it, my bad.

I thought people had better things to do here in NJ... am i wrong?
