The sports world has been scratching its collective head as to why Yi Jianlian has refused to sign with the Milwaukee Bucks. There has been plenty of speculation: too small of a Chinese population in Milwaukee; not a big enough market; too cold (?); and besides, it's freaking Milwaukee for crying out loud (who wants to live there?!)Ma Jian, a former Chinese basketball star, knows why Eazy Yi wants no part of Milwaukee: Not enough hot chinese chicks for Yi to date.
"Yi's agents would prefer that he play in cities with large Chinese population. It will benefit both CBA and Yi; it will help promotion. And it will guarantee him better restaurants and perhaps better looking Chinese girlfriend."If the Bucks are smart, they'd better start combing through their city's female population and round up the hottest women from the Far East, and fast!

Well, where is a place that he could end up at that has hot asian women? Wizards? Knicks? Lakers? I mean, if there is a fix to bringing back the NBA in the major areas, putting Yi on the Knicks for Curry could help, even though Randolph and him are similar.

Nice to know he has his priorities straight: it's all about getting laid.
Sounds like he and Shawn Kemp should hang.

Sounds like the Chinese answer to Eli Manning's refusal to play in San Diego. Not enough Chinese pretty ladies in Milwaukee? That's a new one.

I honestly hope he gets banned from the league, especially with the rule that says if you sit out and play any professional ball, you cannot reenter the draft and the team remains in ownership of your rights. Bucks need to hold on tight and never ever let go.

Is it just me, or do Jianlian's agents seriously not know the difference between the NBA and the CBA?No wonder these negotiations are so borked up.

After reading most reports, I got a feeling that Yi has little to no control over where he wants to play. It is his greedy boss, the owner of his original team, that controls his destination. They want half of his marketing income and they thought Milwaukee wouldn't generate that much income. Let's not blame Yi too much. Hopefully he will play in Milwaukee eventually.

Mutoni, please: "Who wants to live in Milwaukee?" It doesn't take an hour to drive 5 miles (L.A.) and the streets don't smell like urine (N.Y.). Milwaukee would be good for Yi - better to be the big fish in a small pond than one of many on the coasts.

Someone has got to to work on their sentence structure and grammar. (Yi Jianlian chinaman: singular) This east indian guy must be a bit jealous because theres no east indian nba stars. Yi is clearly not in control so he shouldn't be blamed for anything.Besides whats wrong with trying to get the best deal out there some people just dont like to settle.

Jeremy Sir, I heartily disagree with you. I honestly believe that there are attractive Chinese women out there, and that there are attractive women in every race and culture under the sun, I believe that not all attractive women are of the Nordic variety, and that in measuring the beauty of women it is really depends on the individual women, and that it is one individual over another, and not one race over another. No need for your hostile racism to cover up reality, everyone knows that racism has a mysterious tendency to color people’s judgments. I remember watching the 2004 Athens Olympic games, and marveling at the size of the Chinese women’s indoor Olympic Volleyball Team. I had never seen Chinese women that tall in America before in my life, most of the women stood 6 foot 2 inches, and one of them even stood 6 foot 7 inches. They also won the Olympic gold medal and beat the Americans twice. I believe that in reality that they were more than just hot, they would playin the WNBA and on the US Women’s Indoor National Volleyball Team if they were born in America.

I don't appreciate the racist tone of the article and the even more racist postings by some fools.
Yi Jianlian has a pretty and tall model girlfriend. Ma Jian was making a joke. Get it, you racist morons?
A lot of women (white, black, asian) love Yi Jianlian. So be jealous, you clueless shorties out there.

Ignorance is bliss---obviously some of you have never been to China (or LA for that matter). East Asian women are some of the hottest in the world, but for you hillbillys and rednecks- you probably prefer chicks from one horse towns that eat Mcdonalds all day long and look like cows. I prefer fit, sultry, elegant women----exactly what many Asian women are.
You can't blame him for having his priorities in order.
Actually he needs to man up and stop being a big P. get real, he isn't that great to be making geographical demands. PLEASE- Man up or stay in China dude, you are not that special.
