    The problem is not you are a FOB. The problem is that you are a r****ded FOB. FOBs deserve better to be associated with a r****ded FOB like you.

    This thread turns out to be much national/racial color that ruins the taste...

    Why do so many people care so much about a Bucks Chinese rookie?

    Are the majority of the people here Chinese?

    Another great game and superb defensive effort from Yi. Looks like our Scola will continue his listless performance in the next game.

    He is now the second best rookie in the NBA. This exceeds many people's expectation. I think the attention is warranted. But of course there are many Chinese posters here also. Isn't that the natural consequence of having Yao?

    It absolutely is. This is a simple example/effect of how Yao and Yi are marketing powerhouses.

    Remember when we drafted Yao and all the YOFs were trying to make Francis look bad (he never passes the ball, he wants to be the star etc..)

    Michael Redd is the new Steve Francis..

    funny how that works.

    I don't think many people are saying Yi should be the focus of the bucks yet.

    I don't know if the majority of the people here are Chinese but I'd think most of them are Asians. Just like how the European fans came over to talk about V Span last season.

    Now, what's your point? Or are you just asking a question without a point to make?

    nah, haven't heard that yet. redd is not a PG. if anything, it's Mo. i've watched all 4 games this season on tv. the team is young. what they need is a low post scorer. i think Yi can never be the 1st option on a team. but he can become a heck of a 2nd option.

    So you came to that conclusion because you saw a few guys here say Redd is overrated? Can you also see the few other guys who try to defend Redd in this thread? So the ones who criticized Redd must be YOFs (Y for Yi) and the ones who defended Redd must not be Yi's fans?

    I hope that's not the way you see the other issues in your life.

    I've caught glimpses of Mo. Williams in the past, and I've been watching him this season as well, and I have to say, I really don't like him as a point guard. His mentality, from what I've seen in the context of this season, is to shoot first and distribute second (although lately he seemed to have toned it down a bit (1st two games he had +15 shots). Simply put, Redd's obviously the offensive leader, and Mason and Bogut should be up there in number of shots taken. Sprinkle in a little bit of Yi and Charlie V should be your primary 6th man. I still irks me that Yi has demanded minutes in his contract.

    Or it could be because that Redd is getting his, sometimes at the expense of the team. Funny how that works.

    Oh really? I guess you think Durant is #1 and Yi is #2? Have you ever heard of a rookie named Al Horford and seen him play? Or you are too busy watching only Yi play?

    Why are you assuming he only watches Yi play? You think Al is #2, he thinks Yi is #2...its called opinions.
