Is Yi Jianlian a jerk? I believe so.?

Update:

I'm a bucks fan and believe that Yi is a jerk for not doing anything publicly so show his appreciation for being drafted. Many think his 'handlers' are to blame, but Yi is his own man, and thus this makes him a jerk. Agree?

    man if only yi would just tell his agent to fuc@ off! Yi himself may not be entirely wanting to go to milwaukee. But he has said that he just wants to be in the nba. Therefore, it may take negotiating but the bucks would win. Yi should stand up for himself like yao who did not take an agent and worked out his problems without any trouble.

    Handler? What the hell is Yi? A circus animal?Are we back in the age of slavery or what?

    I agree that Yi is a jerk for not being more focal of his desire to play for the Bucks. What I mean is, if he really wants to play for the Bucks, I am sure that his "Masters" would have to allow him to play since it is not like he is being caged. He is a punk and he is not even that good.

    Not only is he a jerk! He's an ungrateful one! He should show some appreciation not only for the city of Milwaukee but for the NBA. He should be thankful to have been drafted and should play wherever he has been chosen. But noOoOoOoo, he has to cry about how he wants to go elsewhere and he hasn't even proven he can play in the NBA. He certainly hasn't shown it in the summer leagues. Yi is an ungrateful jerk who should've just been happy to play in the NBA.

    I would say his agent wants more money. Just like Yao Ming with his chinese fan are buying his jerseys and seeing his game. He is making money. Yi's agent wants him to be like that and making excuses that there are too many tall people on the bucks and will prevent him from making the national team. I wouldnt say Yi is a jerk, I would say his agent. Players listen to their agent especially even if their jerky agent want them to make more money

    I would be upset if I were a bucks fan as well .... He should follow the rules of the draft like everyone else. Some people don't even get the chance to be drafted. Your a rookie you can't make demands on what team to play for ... especially when things like this happen to you ....

    well you have to understand that he isn't really in control

    he's said that he wants to play wherever but china is a communist country so Yi Jianlian can't do anything about it

    well, i do think he should go play for the team that picked him but he did give a warning, many warnings to the bucks. you would think that the fact that he blocked any workouts with milwaukee would be a sign or the fact that he refused to workout for them should point to the fact that he doesnt want to be there. larry harris is to blame. he was warned several times but still picked him.

    its not yi's fault and the bucks dont really want him anyway

    Sorry, but its not him. If he were an AMERICAN ball player, you'd be right, but he's Chinese and part of his money goes back to the Chinese Gov't, so, they are in control. They aren't going to do anything unless he gets paid. no freebies.
