About 300 members of Chinese community jammed an atrium at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a ceremony welcoming the Milwaukee Bucks' top draft choice, Yi Jianlian, several days after his arrival from China.
Yi was joined onstage by Kohl, Mayor Tom Barrett, Chinese Consul General Ping Huang, Bucks general manager Larry Harris, coach Larry Krystkowiak and teammates Andrew Bogut and Michael Redd. (Source: Examiner, Oct 8, 2007).
