Making of a Chinese bad boy On Yi Jianlian's attempts to get out of being drafted to the Milwaukee Bucks. Disclaimer: I know nothing about basketball, buy Jonathan Ansfield is one of the best journos writing about China today.

That's a very interesting look at both Yi and contemporary China. Thanks for the article.

This Chinaman is peeing on my figurative rug. Good article, I had no idea that so many of the Chinese people want him to report. This is the best Buck's news I've heard in months.

Slur police checking in. Let's just say that Chinese man/fellow is peeing on my figurative rug.

trons' line is an approximation of a quote from "The Big Lebowski". Still, since many may not have seen it (which is a shame, it's a terrific character driven movie), it might not be the best quote to throw around.

Actually, "There's no crying in baseball" has to be one of the best movie quotes to throw around and "The Big Lebowski" was one hell of a flick.

Interesting article, thanks for the post.

I am also not a really big basketball fan, but I am fascinated by the Yi situation and this article was an interesting look at it (though it could use a bit of editing help). Good post, Abiezer.

I thought that said "making of a Chinese boy band" Yeah I need some sleep.

I noticed a few editing problems too, The Crafty Sousepaw. I think Spot-On is more of a collective blog for journalists usually published elsewhere, so not sure how much editing is done, if at all. Plus I made yet another typo in my post, so am in a glasshouse stone-chucker's situation myself.
