Yi Blogs like an American!
"East is East, West is West, and never the twain shall meet." -Rudyard Kipling Its quite bizarre to me how Kipling's quote still resonates in people's criticisms of international players, particularly as it relates to Yi. One of the main knocks is, as Bill Simmons (the Sports Guy) …
