Call Him the 'Monkey King'
BEIJING (AFP) - Los Angeles-bound guard Sun Yue has said he does not want to be known as "China's Magic Johnson" as he seeks a spot on the Laker's roster, but is happy to be known as the "Monkey King."
Sun is expected to depart for the Laker's training camp as soon as the US Embassy here issues his visa, and he is confident that he can make a roster that is led by superstars Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.
"I don't want to be called the next Magic Johnson," Sun told the China Daily of the nickname given him to by the Chinese sporting press.

When I read the thread title I was expecting to hear something about the movie - "Forbidden Kingdom". lol
So is this guy a point-guard or shooting-guard? I thought Jordan Farmar was the Lakers point-guard of the future. Maybe not?

I think he's a 6'8" point guard. People compare him to Toni Kukoc. I'd say Jordan Farmar is still the next PG regardless.
As for "Monkey King", that must be a cultural thing that I don't get ... and I'm Chinese!
