Yi Jianlian is a Baby

Amen. And why is that when folks move to the US they arrogantly expect to join their own 'minicountry' within the US, rather than working on learning english, adopting a few american customs and generally wishing to enjoy and be a part of their new home. They certainly are benefitting from the US, aren't they? I've lived abroad and the other Americans that I've known who have lived abroad never expected to form a mini-US in the middle of Paris (for example) where we will only eat our american hamburgers and watch american football. Instead, you'll find us (slowly) learning to speak French, (eventually) really diggin the local food, and generally respecting our overseas home. My point is - this guys a spoiled arrogant brat who makes me not want to support Chinese bballers in the NBA. I've lived in the southeast, northeast, midwest and soutwest portions of the US and found that there are endless great things about each place. Wisconsin is no exception. Cost of living is great. It is a beautiful place and close enough to travel to larger cities if you like. Plus, he'd be really close to his WI fans (who are giving him gobs of money to throw a ball in a hoop) and who are just hoping he'll make them proud of their city and state. You'd think a professional athelete would actually enjoy such a thing (such as how Greg Oden has embraced Portland - just check out his blogs here at Yardbarker). I say - go to hell Yi. You don't deserve Wisconsin.
