Yi Jianlian wasn't born into a professional basketball family, but he showed signs of aptitude for the sport at the early age of three.
He appeared in the top league when he was 15, and it took him just two years to lift the first domestic title. He led his team, the Guangdong Tigers, to three championships in the past four years.
In 2002, the seven-foot-tall Yi Jianlian stood out at a training camp in the US. The young prodigy was then billed by local coaches as a potential superstar, and has since been watched closely by a number of NBA scouts.
