"And it will guarantee him better restaurants and perhaps better looking Chinese girlfriend."

Quoted in the Journal Times in Racine regarding why Yi Jianlian is looking to force a trade to a city with a larger Chinese presence than Milwaukee.

I'm pretty sure L.A. has both in abundance, and we have two NBA teams, if he won't play for the Bucks, surely a deal with the Clippers or Lakers makes sense for all parties involved.

Now this bit is for Yi, you already conduct interviews in English, so I assume you can read our simple language by now. If you want Chinese cuties, they can be found all over the LA Basin, but for the biggest concentration head over to Monterey Park, Alhambra and Rosemead. Each community boasts over 40% of their population being Asian (mostly Chinese, with some Vietnamese for good measure). Even better, none of those places are more than 15 miles from Staples Center, so getting to the games should be a breeze (once you get used to our LA traffic). I'm sure there's a few tall, attractive Chinese native, or first, or second generation girls who would be happy to help with your improving English fluency. Noticed on your wiki that you are a native Cantonese speaker though you are also Mandarin fluent. As it so happens, the LA Chinese communities is one of the places where Cantonese still predominates, so our Chinese cuties might make the transition to English for you a little easier. As far as the quality of the cuties, here's the homepage for the Miss Los Angeles Chinatown competition, judge for yourself.

As far as restaurants go, we have good Chinese restaurants, some very authentic, others kitschy, others grungy, but where LA cuisine shines is in the "fusion" places that meld flavors and styles from all over Asia. Once you've had traditional Chinese fair prepared with a Thai flare or a Japanese sense of balance, you'll forget about going to a straight up Chinese restaurant for awhile. But if straight up Chinese fare is what you're after, you could do worse than Hop Woo (three locations to serve you, one close to Staples center in Chinatown, one in Alhambra, and one on the Westside, in case you decide to live near the beach). If you want to bump into famous folks, than head over to Mr Chow in Beverly Hills, but if you're smart, you'll go for one of the better fusion places like the magnificent Yamashiro high in the Hollywood hills (with spectacular views to match). But if you must stick to the Chinese food and like your shrimp slippery, then check out Yang Chow.

So, Yi, keep fighting to get to a big market like Los Angeles, you won't find anything like these places (and the selection of attractive Chinese women will also be limited) in Milwaukee. Stick with it, the Lakers couldn't get KG, but maybe the Lakers can still swing a deal to bring you, the "Chinese KG" to the Lakers.

And who would you rather play with, Kobe Bryant in the sunshine (video reminder of what he can do here), the best player on the globe right now, or Andrew Bogut near the frozen tundra?
