Yi Is NBA Ready

On the heels of today’s revelation that Kevin Durant can’t even bench press 185 pounds once (Chuck CURLS 185… PUNK!) comes proof that Yi Jianlian is, in fact, ready for the NBA.

That’s potential #5 pick Yi Jianlian at a movie premier in Los Angeles. He’s a star, baby… and he ain’t afraid to show it.

Even Dwight Howard agrees Yi will be a player (or should it be “playa” now? Isn’t that what the kids are saying nowadays?)

Other basketball notes: Marty Schottenheimer Flip Saunders will be back to coach the Detroit Pistons next year.

And Bill Simmons is making Colin Cowherd (aren’t they co-workers) look like a complete idiot. But that’s about as difficult as LeBron going 1-on-1 with a 12 year old.

This is true: on the air today, Cowherd was asked who in the NBA he’d compare Kevin Durant to. He said “Andrew McDyess”. And then he clarified and said Antonio McDyess. Really? You think maybe he’d be more like a wing player… like maybe Tracy McGrady… cuz, you know, they play the same position. Dumbass.
