    It's easy to argue. Look at the facts, for instance. Yi averaged 9 ppg & 5 rpg in 24mpg in his first 2 seasons. That's not bad at all.

    Now that Vince Carter is gone, he will blossom. This year will be his breakout year.

    Not this year but I will be blown away if Yi isn't an All Star by 2013.

    Can't wait! Yi vs LeBron is on in 7.5 hours! This will tell us a lot about both players.

    Yi will get into the all-star game even if he's mediocre due to the stupid fan voting. Not saying he won't deserve it someday, but he doesn't right now.

    Didn't Flip Murray once burst on the scene early in his career with a bunch of 30-point games (or something impressive like this)?

    I would say those performances are the only reason we've even heard his name. Those performances sure didn't guarantee stardom.

    Yi getting it done on the defensive end today. Halfway through the 2nd quarter and he already has 2 blocks and 1 steal.

    hey. He already has better stats than Aldridge had in entire game against Orlando. Look for Yi to have a big 2nd half.

    So what do you think Yi will end with for the game?

    Points?
    Rebounds?
    Blocks?
    Steals?

    Yi's greatness is difficult to predict. He can beat you in so many different ways.

    Quote attributed to Lawrence Frank two weeks before he was fired, discussing why the Nets can't seem to win a game.

    Man, if LeBron goes to NJ, can you imagine Yi and him on the same team?? Crazy.
