Yi jianlian interview

[schnizelcreep]

everyone in china who speaks cantonese knows mandarin as well, that's a fact...

[LZShow12]

this interview is more about kobe then Yi.

[mzsimmonz]

how the hell did a simple interview with YJL turn into a Taiwan VS China debate? lol. how stupid. anyway to actually talk about the person in the interview..its too bad China's basketball games in this year's Olympics have come to an end..I'm hoping Yi does way better with the Nets because he was completely lackluster. Maybe if he wasn't hyped up so much I wouldn't even notice how poorly he did. come ON Ah Lian pull yourself together!! NJ/NY is not gonna take that bullsh*t!

[QuannieBoy]

If Yi gets more physical, he'll be a great player in the NBA, and a dominant force in the Olympics.

[super3metamorfosis]

so gay player.my grandmother is better

[LucaYune]

so ... who is stronger China or Taiwan?

[superqiong]

what's your meaning?

don't you know taiwan belongs to china?

that's the commen sense,i am so surprised that you even don't know this!!!!

[Kentsu827]

it is also a common sense that Taiwan is an indenpendent country! dumbass! i am SO suprised that you dont even know that fact!

[superqiong]

an independent country?

you'll be put down soon

[superqiong]

dirty surroundings lead to dirty thought to dirty words

[CoolAirGum]

Taiwan is an independent democratic, and you are a brainwashed peasant.

[Cloveraye]

The USA is the strongest.Coz most of the people in that country support killing Iraq people.Oh I forget hundreds of years ago they killed Native American and build this country.

[siangal07]

Hi, you must have meant in terms of basketball? haha. China is stronger in terms of basketball. =)

[Syncopatedrythm]

Are you out of your mind? There's been a total of about three Chinese NBA players.

[siangal07]

Lol. out of my mind about what?! My comment is a reply to 'LucaYune' on 'so ... who is stronger China or taiwan?' and I said 'China is strongER in terms of basketball.' What's so out of my mind? lol.

Almost every year basketball at asian games and FIBA Asia Championship are won by China. So they are currently the strongest team in Asia. right? lol.

[2100549]

there's a lot more organizations out there other than the NBA

[Frailglow]

Lol, Yi isn't half as athletic as Dwight Howard.

[goyi9]

But he is more skilled than Dwight. No hate on Dwight but he is just a power player.

Yi is more athletic than most players in the league.

[rakkarah900]

i thought yi jianlian is cantonese

[dlimhs]

he speaks both mandarin and cantonese

he was born in guangdong, so his first language was cantonese, but having played in the CBA all over China you would imagine that Mandarin comes naturally

[davidj9429]

he is cantonese and conese rules

[maxma3]

@rakkarah900 he is, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't speak mandarin

[kassi420]

@rakkarah900 He is but in China you need to know the main language.

[snerefedsav69]

saying "nei ge" in mandarin is like how americans say "um" or "like" in the middle of their sentences. he's not racist.

[hope321]

It actually means "that".

[snerefedsav69]

well yeah it means "that" but when you say it in the middle of conversation it's kind of like "um". my mom says it all the time when she's on the phone. i'm just saying

[MatrixMaster2]

doesn't "nei ge" mean "that" in chinese?

[2100549]

ya...it's also pronounced "na ge"

[terenceheng83]

it can also be a pause in a sentences... its like "erm, well" in English sentences...

[fangzhiyuan]

asdfgfdg

[Syncopatedrythm]

I dont know why they are making such a big deal about him choosing where he wants to play. Hes a human being coming to a foreign country to live and work. I think he should have SOME say about where he goes.

[oswald1973]

He doesn't grow up in America and the closest thing he can get is a "huge" chinese population (3-5% is huge!)... If Americans cannot live among others in other country, why are we imposing him as a racist?

[oswald1973]

Also Yi is not racist, he just doesn't want to live in some places where there isn't enough chinese. As a caucasian, how many wants to live among the Arabs in Middle East (Saudi has a huge American enclave that never mix with the local).

[kellooo]

nigaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[malayaplaya]

the interview is just talking about what music he likes to listen to; some hip hop, how he feels the NBA and CBA (chinese domestic league) compares; it's obviously lacking but lately has been improving a lot etc etc

[gr8wallofchina]

lmao its hella funny how people keeps thinking he said "nigga". seriously you guys, like what other people said he said "ne ge/na ge" meaning that.

[oswald1973]

ne ga or na ge, in Chinese is "that one" or "this one", which is pointing at a person or object, in order to describe it, like "ne ga don xing hen hao", that thing is very good.... so ne ga is "that"..... it's not even a verb. Just how some people think everything is based in Latin. hahahahahha

[westcoast230]

LOL this guy is racist

[choidavid]

nah this nigga meant to say nigga

he's gonna start making niggas like kobe a house nigga he is

[dataznboi11]

omg yall are so fuking retarded. ne ga in chinese has nothing to do with black ppl whatsoever, dont watch this if you dont even know what anything means.

[kuochihfu]

= = "ne ga" means "that" in Chinese. Sometimes American complain about my English... you feel my pain now, huh :)

[zidane4life]

in yaos autobiography he already talksa bt the nei ge issue, yeah at the start alot of people were kinda ruffled in the lockerroom

[oswald1973]

Not sure if anyone know, Yao is from the Northern part of China, and Yi is from the Southern part of China.

Also, please stop all the racist remark!

[LamarHen]

they all came from the southern part of GREAT CHINA..T.T

[astrocat75]

someone may want to let NBA players know ne ga (nigga) is mandarin or hes in for an @sswhoopin

[luckduck32167]

lol hes not saying the N word over and over, in chinese that word means "that"

[thejpao]

just wondering, why are people even watchin an interview when they dont understand the language and what the interviewee is saying.....

[jylze]

"ne ge" mean "that" in mandarin - you can't barely get through a sentence without using it.

[CaliUnderground]

LOL!! 3:30 they say "kobe the nigga"

[justzforever]

Yi, good luck.

[lovahman]

LOL..at 1:49 he calls someone a p*s*y!

[brittbritt0789]

as a nigga that says nigga alot, nigga that nigga says nigga in this video all the time nigga. I kno it doesn't mean the same but it jus funny...it's like aaklfjakfjakfjdfaniggakj;akdfj­kdfjkniggakfjdknigga

[x3jane]

[blackredberry]

[RoamingReturns]

chinese mans got to stop saying nigga

[fanger27]

They speak Chinese not English.some word sounds similar to "nigga",but do not have the same meaning

[chineseplaya]

its not the n word in mandrin theres a word that sounds afullt sounds like it but it means this or something

[mahogan]

3:30 HE SAID THE N-WORD!

[fanger27]

Taiwanese are all Chinese.

[dnlgao]

haha kelly gun. We dont need to mention the fact that China has enough people to throw rocks at the taiwanese and win. But, It was the taiwanesse who invaded china and got there ass beat back to taiwan.

[jackylin24]

Kellygun STFU. you moron. what do u know about Taiwanese wepons? The US is afraid of getting into conflict with China, and you think Taiwan will kick China's ass? If thats the case then why is Taiwan asking the US to help in case China invades? Taiwan will be fucked up even b4 the US start moving troops there

[jackylin24]

first of all if you didn't know Taiwan is the Republic of China, so they are chinese. Kellygun you are a fucking retard. So if you wanna call us chinks then taiwanese are chinks too. Second of all they have been pushing for independence for ages. So they don't even formally recognize their independence. And please! The US advised Taiwan not to say anything about independence in the UN b/c of China's threat to invade. So who is going to kick who ass?

[friskyeugene]

lmao taiwan is the size of like... 3 torontos they have like 3000 ppl if the chinese army walked on a bridge and walked down it 8 by 8 the line wud never stop so kelly gun u are a dumass

TAIWANS WEAPONS ARE BEST

[sissey1989]

[huhani]

[dumdumdesign]

Whars the subtitle! dammit

[stopper1314]

If you don't understand Chinese you really shouldn't watch and listen to this interview and start saying he use the n word. This is Chinese, and we are not racist!

[usernamefuckoff]

haha why are some of you people listening to this interview in mandarin?

[seanchan]

YO PEOPLE, shut the hell up. seriously, black people dont look alike. white people do not look fake like bird sh-t, and asians dont look alike.. other than that, stop with racism. especially asians, grow the fuk up, no one is attacking you.

[seanchan]

hahaha.

[anyonecanplayguitar]

He said he likes Hip Hop lol

[longlivegc]

"na ge" means "Which kind of" , "what ..." or "that ..."

It is not slang.

[soulUtoob]

your racist!!!

[MUN7001]

are you fucking racist? and your skin looks like fucking bird shit, lol, but no one says anything. Actually white people look the fakest in this world, like they got plastic surgery at birth. Why don't you shut the hell up and stop promoting racism? DUMBASS

[striker320]

haahhahahahaha yea I heard that 'nei ge', nigger

[gnail]

Haha..people hear "ne-iga" in Chinese and think they're hearing the n-word. Beautiful stupidity.

[chengyman2009]

nei ge means that in chinese

[bigjorge55]

yall are fucking retards, they dont say nigga they say some word in chinesse they probably dont even know about that word, you fucking stupids

[shoothelpmeany1]

when did he say the n-word lol ?

[jlk2100]

yeah, uh "nei ge" means "that", it's a part of regular speech similar to someone pausing and saying "yeah", or "you know"

[BusBoyIsBack]

Lol he keeps saying the N word

[Santyurou]

Just for clarification, "nei ge" means "that "something"" in Chinese. It just sounds similar to "n**ga" in English.

[gulaboy03]

this sucks

[mophat63]

fuck KG! can u say chinese dwight howard!??!

[a92x5d]

If he is the Chinese Dwight Howard, can I please be the Chinese Michael Jordan?

[rakkarah900]

if he is the chinese dwight howard and you are the chinese michael jordan, can i just shoot myself because that's a disgrace

[a92x5d]

uhm that a reply to the dude that called him a Chinese Dwight Howard, I find that as outrageous as you did. He can shoot while Dwight can't, but Howard is the one of the top 3 post players today.

[scythekill]

nice interview
