Yi to nets

I forgot to mention how excited I am about Yi Jianlian’s trade to the Nets. Sure, the Nets had to get rid of Jefferson and any chances of a winning season to get him, but now that Yi is on the team, there’s one clear positive…and that is that I get to watch Nets games while in China!

There’s a more than likely possibility though considering the roster, that I might wish that the games weren’t broadcasted. Also, the fact that there’ll be millions of new Nets fans that probably have no clue where East Rutherford is will be a little annoying, but having the words “fans” and “Nets” in the same sentence is rare enough, unless they’re combined with “lack of”. I’m sure the new Chinese fans will get indoctrinated in the yearly suffering that comes with watching the Nets soon enough. Oh, how I long for those Sherman Douglas, Johnny Newman, Jim McIIviane days…

I’ll make sure to score myself a Yi Chinese national team jersey.
