'Little Yao' is the next big thing

No way does he become Garnett II for the lack of explosiveness. If he puts up some weight without losing speed and refines his jumpers he can become a poor man's Dirk Nowitsky.

 

So, he's got small hands...

I once heard that if the majority of a dunker's dunk is two-handed, that means he's got small hands. I don't know if this is true or not.

 

Fouled out of the game. Sound familiar?

I thought his age was questionable. I hope he really is that young.

 

Well, the majority of Francis' dunks weren't two handed, and we all know that he can't even palm a basketball.

again, if anyone knows the song in the background let me kno plz!

 

The dude is really quick. The only thing in common with Yao he has is that he's asian. That's it.

 

Don't even think about drafting this kid. He will drive Yao nuts.

 

Check out the leg difference. HAHA! Yao must be half mongolian.

 

It is said that he used to dunk one-handed. But he got hurt when some defender played dirty so he started to dunk two-handed.

 

Well, whatever it is, the Chinese have never had an athlete like Yi in basketball before. He is still really young and hopefully he'll start putting on some muscle early, rather than waiting to get into the NBA like Yao.

 

best of luck to him
