In the span of a few days I've found a new favorite athlete in sports. It all started as this 7'2" behemoth bought a ticket to the NBA Draft and sat in the stands taking it all in. Projected to go in the middle of the 2nd round he was likely just soaking in the event and having a good time. Then the Blazers turn came at pick number 16 and everything changed. Hansen Yang was a first round draft pick. 

We then found out he's called Chinese Jokic, has his own clothing line, doesn't speak a lick of English, and was coveted by Portland for two years. Russillo said on his pod that at the combine Yang pulled off an incredible baseline spin move that resulted in an and 1 dunk during 5 on 5 which gave him the confidence to demand the rock the rest of the way. Not knowing any English however, he proceeded to just yell a bunch of sounds that no one understood. Incredible. Here's his majestic highlight reel to give you a taste. 

Well, today Yang Hansen was introduced as the future of the  Portland Trailblazers. While most of the session was in Chinese, he did offer his hobbies —sleeping, playing PS5, and eating. That's it. This is what we call a superstar, folks. The common man superstar if you will. Truly just like all of us, minus millions of dollars and 86 inches of height. 

I've never been so excited to watch Summer League. Sure LeBron was exciting and Wemby was cool, along with many others who have come and gone, but they're not Yang Hansen. I fully expect this guy's jersey to be in the top 10 of sales at the end of next year. I'm obsessed and cannot wait to bet on the Blazers live at like +34.5 in the 4th quarter when it's Hansen time.
