"Bogut and Yi are at the deli," is what I heard as I entered Metro Market tonight.

The always-buzzing Downtown grocer was not only hopping with shoppers on Thursday night, but the entire Bucks team was there manning the store.

The bakery, deli, produce section, meat counter and even at the checkout lines were fully of staffed by the likes of Charlie Bell, Jake Voskuhl, Bobby Simmons, Awvee Storey, Michael Redd, Desmond Mason, Michael Ruffin, Samaki Walker and others.

Behind the deli, Andrew Bogut and Yi Jianlian filled orders as the Chinese and Milwaukee media and hungry customers watched. Yi smiled and signed autographs during his second community visit in Milwaukee.

This "Paint The Town" event was done in cooperation with Pick 'n Save/Roundy's and is an NBA league-wide initiative. In Chicago today, the entire Bulls team appeared outside the lower level of Lord & Taylor at Northbrook Court Mall.
