Jsonline: Bucks hoping Yi can add strength

Ok. So the Bucks have a training regimine in place that won't technically help Yi add enough strength to be a better player. Why doesn't he stay after practice in China and do the training regimine there? It would help him play better next year and the olympics this summer. I mean, China wants to win the olympics don't they? Make Yi stronger!

Because not matter how hard he works out all that exercise he will get playing basketball will result in his strength training amounting to nothing more than maintenance. Check out this quote from the article, perhaps this explains it better:

"We'll give him something that he can follow but the challenge with all the international competition this summer, with all the practices and with all the games, is he's not going to have a chance to get that much stronger," Krystkowiak said. "It's going to be maintenance again, just to try and maintain his strength. He's not going to have two months off where he can go and lift and start getting his muscles bigger. . . . You can't do that with all the exercise."

That's an interesting idea. We can say all day that we're the ones paying him millions of dollars so we shouldn't be the ones having to lose his service during games... but the Chinese government simply isn't going to let him rest on their watch.

Honestly I think it's all a bit silly. He isn't a very good basketball player. Do we intend to use him as a basketball player or just as a revenue stream? Can China ever commit to giving him every other summer off, and only having him for the Olympics and Worlds? If not, he should earn a pro-rated salary from the NBA, because he isn't committing to the team to the extent that's expected of an NBA player.

adam, that is the 7,004,090 Chinese Yuan question, isn't it!

But seriously, if Yi doesn't get stronger, especially in the upper body, he will answer your question himself (income stream) because he will be of little use to us IMHO.

I do not like Yi.

I do not like him in the post.
I do not like him when he coasts.
I do not like him, he can't pass.
I do not like his narrow ass.
I do not like him day or night.
I do not like him more than Wright.
I do not like that guy called Yi.
I do not like him, Supreme-I-Be.

I enjoyed your poem, Mike. Have you made any movies lately?

I knew if anyone would like it, it'd be you

I wish I was making movies. Just writing a lot and hopefully getting some bigger things going in the not so distant future.

Have YOU made any movies lately!?

Cool. Good luck with your writing. Hopefully it jump starts a movie project.

I made a mix of the Wisconsin Badgers' football Recruiting Class a couple months ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBtm1KuilEw

As far as the Bucks, where is my inspiration going to come from? I could make a John Hammond transactions which he possibly spearheaded when he was with the Pistons text slide mix.
