The Milwaukee Bucks' campaign to secure the services of reluctant power forward Yi Jianlian has suffered a blow after the player's Chinese club said it would block his move to the United States.Yi, taken by Milwaukee with the sixth selection in the NBA draft last month, would "definitely not" play for Milwaukee, Tuesday's Beijing News quoted Guangdong Tigers chief, Chen Haitao, as saying."This is not -- as media reports have said -- because Milwaukee, as a city with very few Chinese people, is not good for Yi's commercial development," Chen said."Rather we want to find a team suitable for Yi's growth. That's the root of the problem," he added.

Kobe initially said he wouldn't come out of high school unless he could play for the Lakers.
Its not him its all the politics and shit in China , he doesnt care where he plays but everyone around him including his agent doesnt want him to play for the bucks, the owner of the team he played for in China even went as far as to suggest "If he plays for the bucks his career could be over before it started" these dudes really dont want him playing there but its not like hes some cocky asshole or anything like that ,its the people around him, its different in China with chinese players playing in the NBA
