you literally think a person saying their NBA team of choice being better than the fucking 76ers is a 'schtick'

a literal thing you think.

Dreadlocks are as old and universal as Not Washing Your Head, but due to the color and unique texture, nappy dark hair is really the only hair that can hold dreads without appearing disgusting and smelly.

Hah, I guess I've met few asians who've spoken about a disappointment in the range of expression naturally available for their hair style--without all kinds of chemical architectural restructuring it tends to do just the one fall-flat thing. Lin's gotta be looking over at all his teammates walkin' around like living sculpture gardens up there, meanwhile he's stuck with his high-school-through-Knicks "no hair cut" buzz. Then there was the havin' a laugh at his roots with the bowlcut (geek roots, I mean, not Hoklo Taiwanese)

Ohhh was Gordon Hayward pissed because he was trying to watch Worlds? wtf wife it's not his fault the Vidya Games Super Bowl airs at difficult Asian Hours this year.

dude is the corniest and I'm so glad the cynical manufactured phenomenon that was "linsanity" is over. sorry knicks fans I;m sure it was a brief bit of sunlight for y'all but still it was some patronizing "AN ASIAN IS PLAYING DECENTLY?!? TIME TO PUT HIM IN THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT"
it's funny how he almost opens with a threat, like, have there been Asians attacking K-Mart? "Gosh, I'd like to start by saying I hope Asian fans don't rally to my side and attack K-Mart! It's terrible, I have to deal with people coming up to me talking about how I TOTALLY OWNED HIM but man it's just peace and love over here"

"decently" nothing the dude went from bench nobody one day, Daryl Morey said he ignored his own models and passed on drafting him 'cause Asian, to averaging 24.2pts 9.5a in his first 5 NBA starts, winning 7 in a row for the Knicks, quite possibly their longest winning streak of all time. It looked like 0 to all-star, some dude seriously carping the dang diem, great story, too bad he's such a goober in his personal life


Also the individual games were fantastic and Tyson Chandler rules

In football, the same owners blackballing Kaepernick for protesting during the anthem are out on the field showing solidarity protesting with their teams during the anthem. So yeah it definitely doesn't mean what it originally meant anymore :lol: The funny thing is even if it shifted into being The Resistance bullshit, these owners also donated to Trump!!

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I'm glad and hope that people like this can temper the extreme idiocy of the current front office.

I would liked to have seen Jimmer and Lin both on the same team just for the twitter and comment wars between their fan bases when one gets more playing time/shots than the other.
