Yiiii-Hawww — Bucks ink Jianlian

by Paul Lambert

First things first. His name is Yi Jianlian. You can call him Yi. yimug.jpg

Second things second. Yi finally put pen to paper on a 6-year deal (complete terms not immediately disclosed) with the increasingly irrelevant Milwaukee Bucks. Why increasingly irrelevant? Well, Green Bay will have a defense this year, and the Journal Sentinel (airball on me) only has room on its cover for Cheese Headers and Badger types.

Reports that the Milwaukee City Council agreed to rename the city “Milwauk-Yi” as part of the deal are greatly exaggerated.

And now … Yi (6-11, 238) dunks on the Spaniards in 2006, misses a FT, and dunks again.

    The Sun Sentinel?

    Wrong state. Try the Journal Sentinel.
