Yao vs Yi Part Deux 

Post#1 » by Cruel_Ruin » Sat Feb 2, 2008 10:14 pm

It's interesting that with all of the hype that the Super Bowl brings, that this meaningless regular season game between the Bucks and Rockets is set to have a bigger total audience...

Just imagine if there ever was a Yi vs Yao in the playoffs? :o

Yes, it will. No one outside of the US cares about the Super Bowl, whereas China is basketball-crazy and has a billion citizens.

Their last meeting killed last year's Superbowl ratings. So it's not a stretch for this meeting to beat the the current Superbowl.

I'm just wondering if China really has a Nielsen rating system in place for the 1billion+ people that watch TV there.

It's probably just conjecture on how many people actually watch the game.

Who cares the Supwerbowl isn't nearly as entertaining as watching Tracy McGrady fire up bricks.

Why would it be bull? China's population is 1.3 billion....

Sure, but a lot don't have televisions or a lot of leisure time, and not everyone cares basketball, and especially about a meaningless game. It's mostly the fact that these estimated figures always tend to be so exaggerated.

200 million is about right. Not everyone in China is gonna watch it.

Yao VS YI>Superbowl

I didn't even know what the Superbowl was until I was like 12.

Basketball is the Chinese National Sport, with an audience of 300,000. Only 200 million watching worldwide? That's not too impressive...

T-mac: 33 pts, 11 rbs, 6 asts on 52% shooting tonight.

How many games would Carter have to play to collectively gather a stat line like that? 3?

Yi sucked up the joint tonight. He's been horrible since the new year started. At least Bogut's getting his averages up.
