Saturday evening’s contest between the Bucks and Bulls was the first nationally televised game featuring Yi in China and it brought in very slick 100 million viewers. (story via The Bratwurst)
The Rockets game featuring Yao was relegated to regional markets and after their respective games Yao went on record saying he thinks Yi has the potential to be better than he is.
If you’re wondering how 100 million viewers compares to a typical Bucks telecast you can go ahead and stop–100 million is roughly 1/3 the population of the entire United States.
Yao and Yi will go head-to-head for the first time on Nov. 9.
I wonder if many NBA fans know that ground deer antler is a very common medicinal in China and Korea and has been used as such for nearly 3,000 years. Yi may even drink it before games.
