the new chinese dude in the nba

Here's an article on the NBA's newest import from China, possible top pick 7-foot Yi Jianlian: Two days with Yi Jianlian, the lottery's mystery man. Unfortunately, it's only a snippet of the article, with the rest only available to subscribers. If anyone out there has the full article, forward it along to me and I'll see what I can do. [UPDATE: Never mind. A quick Google search reveals the full text of the article re-posted here.] Because I know people are dying to know more about this guy. For now, there are some questions about his age: How Old is Yi Jianlian? And here's a photo him on the red carpet at the recent Pirates of the Caribbean premiere. The guy looks like a star already.
