Chinese club to keep Yi's from Bucks

BEIJING (Reuters) -- The Milwaukee Bucks' campaign to secure the services of reluctant power forward Yi Jianlian has suffered a blow after the player's Chinese club said they would block his move to the United States.
Seven-foot tall Yi, taken by Milwaukee with the sixth selection in the NBA Draft last month, would "definitely not" play for Milwaukee, Tuesday's Beijing News quoted Guangdong Tigers chief, Chen Haitao, as saying. Continued...

What is prima-donnaish about making a career choice like this?

To me, you're going to be paid millions of dollars to play a [censored]ing game. If you enter a draft you should realize it's not up to you where you end up. Suck it up and make your millions, then when free-agency comes you can go where you want. Same as little Manning.

Not everyone gets to play for the Los Angeles Lakers. If the Chinese team doesn't want him in Milwaukee because it "won't help his development", then [censored] it, they can develop him. They want us to make him a better player so he can turn around and beat our Olympic team.
They can "won ton" in one hand and [censored] in the other, and see which gets filled the fastest.

The dumbass Bucks knew this might happen and they drafted him anyway. If I were him, I wouldn't play in a cultural backwater like Milwaukee either.

Ironic comment, since I believe Kobe engineered his draft destination, being unwilling to play for certain franchises.
