Not Yao, Yi

If you are a sports fan, then you will remember the SuperBowl Ad a couple years with Yao Ming for a debit-card /credit-card company. (If you are not a sports fan then you probably are on the wrong site!) Yao walks into?a New York retail store where the following exchange takes place for 90% of the commercial 1st Clerk: Yo, Yao: Not Yo Yao. Well don’t be too surprised with a variation?of the original as Yi Jianlian is drafted on Thursday, possibly as high number?five as Boston Celtics head honcho Danny Ainge is said to be intrigued with him. Although Yao and Yi played together on the National team they have really only two?things in common. Their place of origin, and they are both at least 7 feet tall. However their differences on the court, are a study in contrast. Yao is 7′6” and is pretty much a traditional center , Yi however is a power forward, who reportedly has shown some monster dunks and ?is said to run like a gazel. He is also said to have nice soft touch with the?ball when it comes to hitting that mid range jumper and is pretty proficient from three point range. The comparisons being made are not?between Yi, and the Rockets center. The names that seem to come up most often?are Pau Gasol, ?Andrea Bargnini, and Kiki Vandeweghe the former Nuggets G.M. says Yi reminds him of a young raw Dirk Nowitzki. Most scouts believe that he could come in and? be a contributor for a team right away? ?
