Sun Yue

[schnizelcreep]

This dude got that LA accent

[Salva46]

Great NBA career, 28 minutes, 6 points, 1 championship ring.

[smellinURmuffins]

@Salva46 Thats one more than Lebron

[GreenFrankenstein]

@smellinURmuffins you really think he is better than lebron now

[killerkenny4ever]

i dnt know why they only played sun yue 2.5 mins a game n he scored 6 points ppg they should of gave him atlest 10 mins

[AndreMarceloBurgos25]

@killerkenny4ever he didnt score 6 ppg in 2 minutes . He scored 0.6 points

[killerkenny4ever]

@AndreMarceloBurgos25 yeahh for t he 0. haha

[U2B8]

sun got better defence than the machine

[peterpresa]

there can't be two machines, everybody knows that :P

[dragonnivek]

what if sun yue was black u still talk about his race?

[linglongpigoda]

caucasians invent things... azns perfect them

[yao11ming4mvp]

@linglongpigoda I hope you're strictly speaking on a contemporary level.

[sxchighflyer]

@linglongpigoda I use to say that when some racist teacher would go on about how many great things Caucasians have invented, But then i searched up stuff and seems like China invented shit loads of stuff before the white have, it was just that the chinese communist government back in the days kept everything quite.

[Ninga0809]

I miss chinese food too!

[AxBxExLxAxVxAxLxOxS]

fuck if u have alot of talent and young its bad to be with the lakers their packed

i hope this guy does good

sun yue will never look like sasha since sasha has that greta hair

[RetarddHater]

Why doesn't he get any playtime? Even if he's not that good on offense, he had mad blocks during the olympics, even against dwight

[crazyasianskills]

He was injured for a little while, and he actually has good offense. Its his athleticism that needs work.

[StFuMoThErFuCkEr]

lakers should trade that motherfucker...

[arthus123]

Wow, it's the cynical kobesexual once again LOL

[Nesquik41393]

"Best thing about being Kobe's teammate?"

"Not have to guard him.."

LOL

[zelda975]

No, I'm saying asians don't suck at basketball. Just look at the success of Yao and Yi.

[TheShredderFromHell]

they probably dont but compare to western players, they do suck. And u shouldn't use yao's sucess in the nba to judge asian players. Of all the asian players, yao was the only sucesful one. So in general, asians are still lacking in skills by big time.

[zelda975]

They were also introduced to basketball way after western players so just give them some time.

Just like Japanese players in the MLB, there used to be just Ichiro and Matsui. Now there are tons of Japanese players in the MLB.

[TheShredderFromHell]

asians are jus naturally smaller and weaker and shorter than white or blacks...thats y they suck at basketball.

[zelda975]

Yeah cause Yao and Yi suck and all.

Fucking retarded american.

[hellblade23]

theyre naturally weaker, but not necessarily shorter. Nba scouts said they were very suprised at the amount of 7fters in China when they went over.

[x3azn4]

i agree with u on the smaller and weaker part, but skills is something that needs brainwork. there actually r acupuncture shit that grew ur dick wisely, i suggest u try that before u start wining again.

[TheShredderFromHell]

I suggest that you stop sucking dick for penny so you will stop being gay. Please take my advice.

[davance4]

but you must remember blacks and white people arent as smart. They are usually stupid and less educated as u can see from Shaq and lil wayne

[TheShredderFromHell]

ROFL....white ppl arent smart?? name one famous asian scientist. O wait there isnt any!!

[davance4]

LOL i am assuming that you are white and dont know your history very well. As you can see, almost most development in the past were indirectly or directly from asians. First person to discover America = Chinese. First Steel work developer = Japanese. Its quite sad, even now your inferior knowledge is noticable.

[TheShredderFromHell]

so why arent there any famous asian scientists if they were so smart since the old days? answer tat and dont give me tat crap. And u think tat whites are only in america?

[jcjay25]

Does Kim Jong IL count? I mean he invented everything in Nkorea like his rockets and nukes.

[TheShredderFromHell]

how do u think asians learned how to make nukes? the tech came from the WEST of course.

[mickypure]

stop that fucking Racism all of you!!! lear to get along.

[mickypure]

i meant learn with an n -.-

[TheShredderFromHell]

its not racism at all since im asian myself. sigh. I hate others but sometimes i even hate my own too. :)

[arthus123]

Dude, there are famous asian scientists back in the day, it's just that your pea brain is only brainwashed by Western mainstream media. Fucking dumbass robot

[arthus123]

LOL typical redneck response dumb ass, + i ain't in America LOLS!! go get grounded white boy

[TheShredderFromHell]

I'm asian stupid. I believe that race doesnt mean much. Besides youre in aus which is pretty much filled with white ppl.

[arthus123]

fucking clown

[TheShredderFromHell]

you heard me son.

[JL0vely]

your dumb as hell for that comment.

[humanomaly]

Be patient, Sasha didn't bloom till 3rd season....and Sun has some unique talents, not just a shooter like Sasha. So don't write him off. His English is fine, and he already knows how to dance around questions. A year ago, needed a translator. This guy is smart, talented, unique....just needs to put in the work and avoid the injuries.

[XXXHornyHippoXXX]

Injured, he's pretty much done. or not.

[kingbee10]

does mbenga really think he can shoot?????

[JohnnyDaWiz]

i dont need to guard him thats the best thing ..

ha

[edisonsun21c]

sure, ur not in the nba

[qdnhan]

LOL..2 machines

[diandian92]

yeah~he's not popular as Yao&Yi in China but we'll still surpport him and vote for him.That's vote.And we won't boo him. he really need more practice and we'll cheer for him before he's succeed.

[RSTEEL226]

another great video, thanks elie!...repooorting!

[moviepinkyweb]

I'm pretty sure the Lakers signed him to attract more Asian Fans!

[FuckThemFilAms]

Sun Yue doesn't want to be traded, his dream and favorite team growing up was the Los Angeles Lakers.

Sun Yue knows that it's going to take sometime, heck Sasha didn't do much what until...3-4 years?

Everyone knows Phil doesn't play rookies, but Sun is being trained for the triangle offense. He is even being trained by Brian Shaw, who was a 6'6 guard who played in the Triangle and is one of the more promising young coaches. He also sits next to him when he's activated.

[baxmonstertrak]

lol @ 2 machines on our hands

[PRCForever]

Honestly... this guy might go to D League

The latest NBA power rankings rank him last.

[FuckThemFilAms]

He has yet to play 1 game...

[PRCForever]

the ironic fate is:

1. if he stays he wont play too much + David Stern and the NBA fear he mite become an all star

2. he might to go to NBDL... and may never come back to the lakers

[FuckThemFilAms]

why would David Stern fear that?

[PRCForever]

David Stern will fear that the All Star game may become nothing more than a popularity contest rather than a competition between the best

[Anonymous213]

David Stern would have already changed it because of that. There are other players who have already started because they were popular and undeserving, besides Yao Ming.

Sun Yue is not as popular as Yao or Yi in China so I don't see how he's going to become an All-Star without the votes.

[PRCForever]

But 1 thing tho is that even though people think Yi is completely undeserving, I think ultimately if he gets elected into the All Star Team, its going to draw more media attention than usual(including in America). Its simply reverse psychology. People would like to watch either to cheer but also to boo him.

[Anonymous213]

You still fail to explain how David Stern has yet to change the All-Star game based on popularity.

Competition of the best? The All-Star is hardly a competition.

And Sun Yue still hasn't been sent to the D-League and even if he did, he would still hold a roster spot on the Lakers.

[BumDooDooCheese]

wtf is mbenga saying...

[FuckThemFilAms]

LMAO! Maybe Eli should have subtitles next time!

[NafeesLACC]

I'm waiting for someone to say "how can you miss the food, we have panda express".

[FuckThemFilAms]

Two Words: Monterey Park

[NafeesLACC]

mostly Taiwanese, wouldn't be a great match.

[FuckThemFilAms]

Are you saying the food is bad?

[ckl34]

I'm sorry but I didn't take a look in your profile yet. I thought you were just a sophomoric hater or something.

[SamzIszHere]

panda express is crap compared to real chinese cuisine.

it's good fast food, but i don't think sun yue eats fast food.

[FuckThemFilAms]

The funny thing about this video is that Eli keeps calling Sun Yue...Sun Yi....and then when he talks to Mbenga, he clearly refers to hims as "YI". The player named Yi is actually with the New Jersey Nets!

It's ok though, I already messaged Eli and he said he won't do it again. Hopefully he does!

[FuckThemFilAms]

*Hopefully he does use the correct name!

[killingangel707]

Anybody can confirm if Sun Yue was cut from the team? I don't see him on the bench anymore.

[FuckThemFilAms]

If Sun Yue was cut, there would be a press release...just like if Mbenga was cut.

Sun Yue is actually not sitting side by side with the players who are dressed. Sun Yue is actually sitting behind them, along with Mbenga.

He might be going to the D-league which starts later this month.

[FuckThemFilAms]

This was from the Lakers practice report 11/13/07:

"Sun said that while Yao is certainly the great guy that we often hear about from anyone who knows him, his celebrity is so insane in China and other places around the world that Yao can seldom go places with the rest of the team. Sun also admitted that hes occasionally been called Yao! by random people in America."

[LakersOwnU]

Check out my lakers videos

[lavadawg34]

ha what's the best part about being kobe's teammate?

...you don't have to guard him haha

[ckl34]

Where the hell is the 'Chinese Magic Johnson'? I never seen play in the rergular season,

[kingcyruslee]

lmfao he not magic johnson. yue didnt even come close to magic only the size and postion he playing.

[FuckThemFilAms]

He sits behind the bench with Mbenga.

[ckl34]

Dude I'm a filipino and I find your username somewhat offensive. That's lame!

[FuckThemFilAms]

If you actually read my profile, you will know what I'm talking about. Look at how many Filipinos compliment and support me.

If you take somewhat offense to it, then you are not understanding the message. Anyways, you should just send me a message because this video is about Sun Yue and not about Filipinos.

[qiranwang]

omg is the lakers the most multicultral team in nba right now?

[ckl34]

Yup....I think.

[chinzz]

raptors maybe?

[qiranwang]

nah, they got no chinese

[rragwan]

at 1:47 somebody says 4-3 philly, they watching the phillies game, World series

[MrYsy]

sasha said rookies have to bring waters to them?????? if she(maybe he) did say that and she is a real fucking asshole in the world

[BOSH75]

sasha look like a bitch and play like a bitch

and i dont see any d on him only foul and bitch plays

[TheGscale]

notice how sun yue just ignores elis and answers without any energy. rofl

[Sendo911]

sasha is a hustler, not necessarily best defender in the league. Ray allen blew by him in the playoffs in a critical situation as well. he can improve if he open his more and not just hustle but know where to go and what to do

[ccc109]

DJ is a class act

[lakernaion24]

hey elie how's living in LA? I'm planning on moving over there.

[yao11ming4mvp]

good stuff

[cbo1360]

wtf is that ugly shit who we dont need who does shit for us (along with walton powell mihm and yue who should be waived.. saying i heard shit ..

[la00kers]

Fucking hating on sasha already???

u fucking laker haters, Sasha is one of the best defenders in the league! and a great confident scorer! he could hit 25pts any given day if he wants too! hes an awesome role player u fucking laker haters!

[getacomb]

yeah right...best defender in the league? thats a fuckin joke. and 25 pts if he wants to? everyone in the nba wants to average 25 a game but not many and sure as fuck not sasha vujabitch

[la00kers]

do you know how to read? i never said hes he best defender or if he averages 25 pts a game. i said hes one of the best defenders in the league. at his position he has stopped many great guards. and we all know he averages 6 pts a game but wen ever hes hot he'll hit 25pts easily! hes an awesome role player!

[cool33133]

haha 135-140. Everyone in the locker room is laughing at him. Why do these teams let u in the locker rooms? Your a joke

[bennyman5]

hes a lot more comfortable than yao and yi

[RocaWeaR4]

Ellie first of all Sahsh isnt the machine,just cuz he scored 20 points in playoffs against Boston doesent make him a machine.

And all he does is to shoot the ball...he isnt good at playing D , or making plays...he cant run properly...lol...So dont make yourself dumb and like your videos.

Keep em comming

[meowdog]

there's an actual meaning of MACHINE when applied as a nickname? Is it in the dictionary that MACHINE means they can play defense and run properly? Shut your mouth son

[RocaWeaR4]

Haha i saw his defense against ray allen!

Enough said! Gramps

[meowdog]

you're an idiot too, Elie isn't the one that gave Sasha the nickname, and he shot 43% from behind the arc last year, that's worthy enough to be called the Machine.

[RocaWeaR4]

Man get life you really dont know shit about basketball! If ur trying to prove something STFU! because everybody knows that SASHA is shit in D.

And if u try to reply and be smart ass ill just ignore you, because your not worth my time get it.

Gramps

[Siscast]

you realize Shasha's nickname is The Machine. its not a compliment to sasha, its a nickname that stuck

[SkaterQuickflip]

Another Sun? thats 3 now, 1 not in nba..and all tall ones, lol

[timyochengaz]

lol didnt understand a thing DJ said cept that "hes a good kid" lol

[tubeJL421]

me,neither

[dumaaaaaa]

lol same thing

[404errorfilenotfound]

Awesome video, Elie! I was hoping you'd do a video on Sun Yue. BTW, the second part of his name is pronounced: Yu-ey, not Yi. Sasha pronounces it correctly.

[radrico]

chinese magic johnson. we'll see.

mbenga is so odd whenever you see him its like whatever angle he's at hes stretching his neck and is right in the camera. hes proportioned oddly in the head i think. i unno.

[haloMaiiFranchise]

put those GASOlinas in those machines...cheaaa...

check out kobes amazing footwork in channel

[yufeizhou]

wow there is another chinese???

[FuckThemFilAms]

Sun Yi?....Yi Jianlian plays for the Nets, Elie! Listen to Sasha Vujacic next time, he doesn't say "Yi" or "yeee".

And where the heck is Sun Yue living? I thought he's staying near Monterey Park, if there's a place to get Chinese food in USA...it's right there! but maybe it's the road games...

[cyclotane]

sun yue looked like he was in a hurry...

[AmirSQ]

nice

[CronosAngeLion]

i didn't understand half the word Mmbenga "Tacooo" said

[audisport]

I don't think he will get any time this year. The lakers are so deep in the bench right now. Maybe next year

[SaskueItachi23]

im sure one of the guys are gonna become injured: Derek Fisher, Farmar, or Sasha then Sun can get some quality time

[thespicycabbage]

agreed. the lakers have jordan derek sasha and kobe at guards. its gonna be hard to have another rotation at tht position.

[cubicleBOB]

the good thing about sun yue is tha the's 6'9" so he can play forward as well

[PoopHead601]

Lol

Sun Yue looks like kevjumba

2:28-2:31

[iankobe]

No he doesn't...

[DeltronsBET]

Sun Yue be a gangsta nigga back in China, he be crackin dawging, hood killin and all that illest shitteez...he be a crack killa dont mess with him. Gangsta Asian doin it bigggg!!!

FUCK THE HATARSS!!!

[MIPAPCProductions]

Elie I know the Lakers are good but your viewers like other teams too, please take this into consideration.

[wavenstein]

Ellie is based outta L.A. So obviously you're going to get a lot of Laker vids

[JayTheSex]

"You don't have to guard him" haha

[IIIJHUSSLEIII]

sun yue is TRASH!! GO LAKERS!!

[azn25centt]

..... that was the most idiotic thing i've ever heard

[johnberber27]

Hell Yeah! Two Machines!! MACHINE!!!

[borsche28]

its still tough for me to see anyone wear the number 9 jersey.

nick van exel all day.

but sun is going to have to earn that number 9.

[MandyBH25]

He reminds me of my form.

I always tuck in my elbow. But I kinda fade away after the ball leaves my hand.
