Thanks man.
Yi Jianlian Actually 19 Years Old
So looks like he is now 19 indeed... well, that doesn't change the fact that he is still a KG like athletic 7 footer, but it does mean that he won't grow to be 7'2" as most expected...

Sorry, not here to start any off topic argument, but I think instead of the word "China" maybe you should've use " Chinese communist party".

What the hell is the difference? China is a communist state whose departments continually screw over their athlete's. Hell, his own parents were forced to lie to reporters about the kids age. The government and ruling body of China are totalatarian *******s.
No wonder they didn't want Yi to be an athlete.

lol dude, until you read the article or find someone to do it for you, there's no need to speak on how and why his age got screwed up. Last I checked the US democracy is pissing off most of this world, while countries like China are not terrorist targets.
YOu wanna talk about the governement screwing people? HOw about ours, trying to delay the election because of a possible "terrorist attack intended to disrupt elections". Whatever happened to all that you cant live with fear rhetoric they've been shoving down my throat. And that BS assertion that we might have to delay it because the terrorists succeeded in SPain. THe bottom line is the ruling party only had a 4 pt advantage in a poll conducted a few days before the train bombing, so its not as if they had no shot of winning and the terrorist attack completely changed things. They had a shot of winning all along and the people made a choice freely, no one put a gun to their head and said oust the ruling party. They only part of the election results that this current admin was cocerned about was that the ruling party at the time lost.
So if you were half as critical of your own gov, maybe you can help make the US a better place.

Honestly, I don't think it changes much if he is 19-years-old. He's still a great looking prospect, and NBAdraft.net reports that he won't fall below 5 next year, even if these reports are true. He's still a kid, and with proper weight training, he'll keep growing a little more.
By the draft next year, he will still be at the age of a college freshman or sophomore entering the draft.

From the herbicide and landmines in vietnam, bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, innocent Iraqi and American civilian lives lost under the wars and terrorism to the necessity of US military bases in Japan and South Korea today and and the forced arm sales to Taiwan to increase the hostility between Taiwan and China while doing anything to please the Chinese communist government to ensure trade and market in China... constantly bashing human rights record of other totalitarian states while ignoring its' own penitentiary system and racial injustice problems, and Where is that report of mass destruction weapons found in Iraqi? ... It's all about serving self-interests.
Back to the topic now, I am happy to learn Yi's real age, it will hurt his stock no question but I am glad that I now only need to wait a year instead of 2 to see Yi play in the league.
