Thanks for the pics, good find. Did he play in the Asian tournament with Yao? And if he did how did he do?
Notwithstanding his height, I think Yi is a different breed from Yao. He is more of a power forward than a centre. Btw, Does anyone has photos or video clips of Yi leaping from the free throw line and dunk??

He did great during that time, I thnk he ranked top 5 in almost every category and score 20+ points in every game.
