The new Yi Jian Lian of 2009-10 (before knee injury)

[MrBullsTalk]

He won't be anything good.

[nanshanshamen]

@MrBullsTalk shut  up , sucks

[Speargate888]

Are you telling me this man is 7ft? dam....

[sunnyynnus]

sigh...

exactly... BEFORE THE KNEE INJURY

[BenKaHi55]

Hope he gets better and better and represent Asia

[xToeSnHoeSx]

Yi with a facial!!! 0:46 lmao

[jongjong123ful]

i bet yi is better than most of you.he wouldnt make it to the nba for nothing..

[islesbelarus]

Somebody, please post highlights of a chair also.

[cjan012]

I think he can follow Dirk's path given his shooting touch (as a big man). He is quite athletic too .. If he can shoot like Dirk ...he can be quite hard to defend....becuz he is faster & more explosive than Dirk....but i duno why he ended up like this now?

[aimskjs]

@cjan012 he doesn't work nearly as hard as dirk

[communismkills1]

Yi with a facial, does anyone else feel like that sounded a little bit wierd lol

[G3N3]

why doesnt he play like that now? all he does now is shoot at mid range...and misses

[8inchdick]

announcer says "he got his way around the rim, but not illegally" @24secs hahaha dumbass

[dunnytroads]

yi is nasty

[CreatureLikeGod]

And Vince Carter is down again.. haha

[LegoFTW9]

wow his dunks look real good

[KillFpietros]

Where is her stats as nets?

[zxzwan2005]

why always travel when attact

[DemonXY2J]

Dont dont even care about the Y they just say EEEE!!!

[KoolJayJ]

People say Asians in general are short. Yet we managed to create now just these two monsters (Yi and Yao) but Sun Mingming as well those taller then yao by 4 inches...... not to mention all the other members on the chinese Basketball team whose over 7ft

So imagine this, i propose for all these rare tall muscular chinese guys to inpregnate at least 100 of the best looking, most healthiest and decent height chinese women...... in the future you will meet an army of super soldiers

[PapayaRum]

@KoolJayJ

who gives a crap about what you have to say.....you have a small wee wee and that will never change..get it u ching chung chang lil man

[KoolJayJ]

@PapayaRum who gives a crap what you have to say, you are a bunch of fatasses with bad skin, fugly face and like to rape little kids. That will never change, get it you honkey cracka piece of shit peckerwood.

[yongmei214]

@PapayaRum

You know, the guiness recorded world tallest man is chinese (BaXishun) and Yao Ming is the tallest man in NBA, then Wang FengJun with 2.55m will be the tallest in guiness if he applys there cuz he has NO giantism disease. They all have waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay longer dick than any black and white, cuz their height mean their male hormone, hehehe. You lost!!

[i2epent]

@PapayaRum

im chinese and this made me lmfao

[PapayaRum]

@KoolJayJ

why dont you impregnate 20 cows instead u stinky chink

[KoolJayJ]

@PapayaRum why don't you go over to thailand and pay your way through child sex you fucking pedophile

[jordancayco]

asian dwight howard?

[Freakalika]

damn i liked that dunk on 3 people!! even that fool from behind. SHIT!

[ShengNguyen]

Yi is hella good (=

[mightyPants]

Yi is currently tearing shit up at the FIBA championships, I hope he plays like that with the wizards.

[stevelau1933]

@mightyPants

He will probably perform average again. He relies almost completely on speed and athleticism and has poor basketball fundamentals so he will always have trouble posting up guys bigger than himself.

[saxophonymartian]

@stevelau1933 apparantly yi is working with David Thorpe this summer, the same trainer that helped Joakim Noah to his breakout season. i think yi's excellent performance at fiba is a combination of weaker opponents and his improvements. you cant argue that yi hasnt improved based on his performance at the world championships and last year he was on the shittiesst team so now playing for the wizards i think yi has a good chance to breakout. keep in mind that hes only 23.

[jerjeremy]

more defence, more strength

→mip of 10~11/11~12 

[AllknowingGuitarGuru]

If that was a travel, Lebron is guilty of travel on every other possession.

[TheHNIC88]

haha he sucks. Its funny how a lot of people said Yi was gonna be better than Kevin Durant

[AllknowingGuitarGuru]

@TheHNIC88 - are you a retard? There's no doubt he's not better than KD... since on any given day KD is the best in the NBA. But if you think Yi sucks, you've got your head up your ass. Yi moves well for a big man and he's got a soft touch on his set shot. He reminds me of a young David Robinson. If he puts on about 20 lbs, he'll certainly be more effective. He's not the best ever, but sucks? You're a dimwit with zero appreciation of the game and without a hint of perspective.

Go LAKERS!!!

[TheHNIC88]

@AllknowingGuitarGuru ok... HOW ABOUT THIS... Yi is by far the worst starting PF in the NBA... better?

[AllknowingGuitarGuru]

@TheHNIC88 - Better? Hahaha!!! PERFECTION!!! Thanks for demonstrating your basketball IQ so succinctly.

[AllknowingGuitarGuru]

@TheHNIC88 - Carlos Boozer... now there's an interesting player... listed at 6'9", but is actually 6'7.5" and way too short to be an effective power forward. And his lack of height shows on defense. The Jazz will do better with his replacement Al Jerfferson, who's a bonafide 6'10". Boozer is injury prone... probably will not play the entire next season. @ ~$13 million/year, he's hardly a deal. Looks like the Bulls are going to have another early exit from the playoff next year. One and Done!

[TheHNIC88]

@AllknowingGuitarGuru I'd rather have Boozer for 13 games than having a shitting ass 39% shooting PF in Yi for 82. There a season why the Nets sucked since he was traded there. Watch the Nets improve with Troy Murphy there instead.

[AllknowingGuitarGuru]

@TheHNIC88 - Here's what you know about basketball...

 Z I P

[TheHNIC88]

@AllknowingGuitarGuru yup. i dont know shit for thinking a 40% shooting PF on a team that was 12-70 isnt as good as Boozer. I like your logic here.

[AllknowingGuitarGuru]

@TheHNIC88 - Hey Debbie Downer - How sad that you feel the need to defend Boozer over Yi. Boozer being overrated is independent of Yi's playing. Yi is a journeyman player, not a franchise player. No one here is saying that. But you're an idiot to think that a guy making $3 million/yr in the NBA sucks. He's making a meager salary compared to the better players; that's what he deserves. But if it's your job to come here and put down average players of Yi's caliber, have at it.

[AllknowingGuitarGuru]

@TheHNIC88 - You still no Z I P

[newgarda]

lol he got his way to the rim but not legally

[TurtleLova]

i saw him today!

[chrisevilmonkey]

I am still waiting to see Yi dunk with one hand

[xenialvirtuoso]

he can shoot!!!!

[StrongChineseArmy]

im glad he left the nets! wat amazing would happen next year whith yi at washington ?

[mightyPants]

Hopefully he plays like this with the Wizards, he needs to get to the rim and draw fouls instead of relying on his streaky jumper.

[WushuDude13]

this guy has a lot of skill, 7ft and can shoot from the outside with a nice handle. he just needs his chance, hopefully him and john wall will gel

[stevelau1933]

Given that he has a 9.5 standing reach and moves well, he could be a lot more dangerous on offense if he learned how to do a sky hook with either hand.

[Hollywood1127]

WELCOME to the WASHINGTON WIZARDS (Yi). I'm so glad we traded for this guy. We need someone who can get up and inside the paint.

[Hollywood1127]

@EA2153 No, if you look under google news for Washington Wizards, it clearly says they traded for Yi JianLian.

[On1y1Ch1na]

@Hollywood1127 Yi jianlian got traded to the washington wizards, and Sun Yue has the possiblity to join the wizards roster if he does good on the wizards summer league team. so Sun Yue might join Yi on the wizards.

[EA2153]

@On1y1Ch1na Thats wassup, lets hope for Sun Yue to do good in the summer league so we can have both Chinese players on the Wizards.

[itrguy000]

man im ashamed that we still have a basketball team we need to sell the wolves soon

[gongxia649]

future Jordan.

[mrwheelchairpierce]

yi just got traded for washington wizards for quentin ross so nets free up space to get lebron,bosh or someone free agent

[Crabman2186]

B-U-S-T Bust bust bust.....

[bosshog7169]

Rollin, looking for the one they call Eazy, but here's a flash, they never sees Yi - Eazy Yi, Straight Outta China

Eazy Yi and the Great Wall of Chinatown will be a dangerous duo this year. Go Wiz! (I like the Wizards name now, but back when they were voting on the new name, i picked Dragons, which would have been cool now with Yi on the team. I remember Express was another one of the choices I think. Dumb name that wouldve been. Anyway, Go DC!)

[NuTownPlayer]

I HOPE U STOPPED BY A 7-11 AND PICKED YOURSELF UP SOME TOUGH JUICE B4 YOUR FLIGHT TO DC...WE DONT NEED THAT SOFT STUFF THAT HAS GOTTEN YOU TRADED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS.

THIS IS A "NEW" "TOUGH" BALL CLUB AND WE DONT NEED ANY WEAK LINKS....

WITH THAT BEING SAID...WELCOME TO THE CITY CHAMP!!!!

[MrJailbreak1]

@NuTownPlayer I really hope the change of scenery helps him out. Verizon Center is located in Chinatown lol. There will certainly be more Chinese fans at Wizard games. My concern with him is I really hope he's actually 22 lol.

[On1y1Ch1na]

welcome to the wizards YI... 

[dopeismarcus]

welcome to DC

[TreeTrunk82]

pretty damn fast for a big man! Lots of potential!

[sex911911]

SUPPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!



[saxophonymartian]

yi has sky high potential but he needs to get his shit together, hes not working hard enough and in the nba, hardwork n sweat pays off on the score sheet. His shitty nets are helping him either

[stevelau1933]

@saxophonymartian

I don't see why he's not any better given his physical attributes at7ft, 255 and around a 3ft vertical with good speed. Maybe he needs to increase his basketball IQ by playing some nba2k10. Look at Dirk Norwitzki or Pau Gasol who are the same size and less athletic, but have better stats.

[benjaminlee92]

Shit he's so damn fast

[Sputnik1in1957]

this guys sucks... he will never be a good player

[gobicheese]

2:33 lol

[eafanboyssuck]

this guy has a wet jumper

[azngen1233]

fuckin annoncers y do they says shyt liek hes 7 ft tall making him sound not talented. what is there problem?

[ThePringlesoriginal]

@azngen1233 agree. they are just jealous he's tall and he's in NBA. Yi made it happen to play in NBA while haters are busy talking shit abt ppl who are already in NBA. If they are so gd, I would like to see how gd they are when they play against NBA players lol

[frankdanktank]

@azngen1233 they mention 7ft tall because finding 7ft with skill set he has is hard to find because size is so valued. being a 7ft doesnt carry you through NBA as everyone knows

[LtakeOanotherVlookE]

@azngen1233 because it's unusual for a basketball player to be7 ft tall?

[lvrpatriot01]

@LtakeOanotherVlookE 7 feet tall is a perfect size in the NBA 6'4 is what the average minimum usually is.... an exception is Earl Boykins

[LtakeOanotherVlookE]

@lvrpatriot01 its perfect size . . . for only one position. and that still doesnt make it unusual.

[iamthereaImaster]

@azngen1233 u prolly didn't notice that yi is asian..

[frinensi555]

@azngen1233 you must be mistaking yi jianlian for someone with talent

[taichogao]

this quality gives me a boner

[Sgant2nd]

Well beat it till it cums

[swiftlyfadedeath]

dont hesitate young fella, go strong to the hole! make the game more entertaining to watch!(unlike yao...)

[playmakerzam]

what, Yao is fun to watch, a center with a nice touch and real post moves unlike many of the new centers today

[swiftlyfadedeath]

Ye, but he lacks some of the Dynamite plays, u know what i mean? instead of jamming it ,he would put up a hook. and his dunks are weak, u just dont feel the drive...

[mightyPants]

@swiftlyfadedeath

It shows you what you know about the game if you judge how good a player is by their highlight plays. So based on your logic Tim Duncan sucks as a player, right?

[swiftlyfadedeath]

never said anything about yao being a bad player, just saying he lacks highlights, i personally like yi better, thats all im saying...and TD can get aggresive when he needs to

[Ajxskyline]

man that dunk by yi 0:43. any other play would have gotten an and1 or hyped

[swiftlyfadedeath]

thats like a KG dunk there...gotta see more out of him

[slipstream17]

yi has so much potential... just gotta stay healthy and be aggressive!

[chriisisaman5]

@slipstream17 and consistent! he is a good player

[jcpnw]

this guy is definitely not 22. he looks 30.

[Ajxskyline]

oden looks like hes 40 lol

[clnmike]

I like his game, he looks like a wuicker version of Dirk.

[Pitatschok]

i like how hes playin, hes pretty smart and got some very nice moves. he learns quick. pleasure to watch.

[clamantfever]

he is unbelievably fast for his size

[SirBigDICKNigga]

CHINAMAN FTW!

[redetrigan]

You can hear in the announcer's voice how pleasantly surprised he is.

[aimwaybetter]

yi had 29 pts today..

[hk007sam]

yi is back!

[asdfjkl321]

welcome back Yi!!!

Hopefully no more injury :)

[Chinaforever777]

Yi is awesome.

He will kick ass this season.

[stou2301]

gl to yi, but in the meantime vote McGrady to 2010 all-star game

2010, mcgrady + Yi, championship?

[TheAkastewie]

i no u r a chinese..dnt u??lol..btw im chinese too.

[alanleungho]

better than last year

[tianyachi]

@alanleungho

yes, i think he is better than 08-09,but still need more muscle.

[elakihiro]

he will get better if hes on a better team but he is more agresive than yao but yao scores more

[Rev64es]

hope he gets better

[billydasquid]

shit he almost facialed pavlovic at 1:30

[MMZ329]

nice mix.. thanks.

[wongchung6]

i hope he will come back soon!

Good Luck Yi!
