Anybody got a youtube link where we can see this kid play. And Chinese Magic ain’t gonna cut it for a handle in the States. From this day forth he will be known as Fireworks. Think about it.

Chinese Magic? As in he will disappear after a season riding the bench?

Joel O's says:
Haha. He looks pretty good though, youtube him. Good low-risk pickup for the Lakers in the long-term.

B. Long says:
He does look good on youtube. Alot like Ricky Rubio except 6-9 and athletic. But everyone looks good on Youtube. Except that leave Brittany alone girl.

Toni Kukoc was called the “European Jordan” before coming to the league. Best case scenario for Sun Yue, he becomes another Kukoc.

i wish the lakers would have made a run at shaun livingston……….they could get him on the cheap. And even if you don’t know how ready he is, i’m pretty sure he’s better than the “chinese magic”

Silky Slim says:
Shaun Livingston hasn’t been medically cleared to play. That’s why the Clippers released him. If a team signs Livingston, he will have to pass a physical, which I don’t think he will be able to do. I think Livingston’s basketball career may be over.

The half-time show is usually either a) the fruity bald contortionist dudes that Eboy likes, or b) the asian chick who does bizarre balancing tricks involving dishware.

Sesa says:
He better off playing in Europe. If he does manage to get some PT in the Lakers, Vujacic should be worried

Aug.8 at 5:12 pm

Teddy-the-Bear says:
^^^ Vujacic kinda sucks son. Whaddup Sun Yue!!!!!!!!! He might be good for the Lakers, both in terms of marketing and as a player. If he steps up, China will make a name for itself not only for its big men, but maybe for guards? Who knows. ZHONG GUO!!!!!!!!

Vujacic sucks.

He didn’t look bad today. Handled the ball a bit, hit some 3s, blocked Dwight Howard even.
