You have no clue how much national pride I have right now. To see my country play in the medal rounds on home turf, watching those players faces light up, and the crowd roar. I teared up, and I only wish I could've been there.

It's not animosity towards each other. It's kinda Yi's beef towards always being under Yao's spotlight. Like when Yao left, Yi became the next goldenboy and got all the attention, in all those years Yao was gone. Now that Yao is back and its the beijing olympics and whatnot, he lost that light, and is back to being under Yao. I mean it would bug me too haha. It's like if MJ left and your the rookie who now gets to start for Chicago in his wake, and you go out there and get your team into the playoffs (Asia games) year in and year out, but MJ comes back from retirement and you have to play second fiddle or bench, it would suck now that you got your taste of it.
 
well it still sux that yi is the 4th scoring option... hes so good... ya that shot was solid... and dirk contested it

I think the player you're referring to is Scottie Pippen, with the exception that he was not a rookie
