last summer, i was hoopin alot. one thing that annoyed me was everytime i came out to the courts people would call me jeremy lin and thought it was so hilarious. i mean i heard it about 50 times before no lie so it became very annoying. Just because im asian its funny to call me jeremy lin? think about it like this, if your black and i call you lebron james is that suppose to be funny?

so some advice for you ish hoopers, if you see an asian kid on the court and you make a jeremy lin joke, you look really salty to him because its barely funny and hes heard it 100 times before.

what players have you been called before while playing basketball? ive been called yao, kobe, rose, artest, even manny pacquiao

At least they call you someone you share your asian heritage with.

In Sweden everyone just played but I get called "nikka" while playing pick up games at A&M.. Some fool called me "polar bear" after I dunked on his ass a la;

"Oh my "nikka" polar bear from Switzerland"..

In Canada they mostly called me Pau, sometimes Dirk, Kukoc, McHale and Bargnani. Bizarrely, I was once called Tayshaun Prince and twice Melo, even though I neither look nor really play like them.

i aint going to lie.

i dont hoop like that around here.

I just try to shoot around and 5 ****** would come out of nowhere and be like "aight let go! 3 on 3! who got first?"

one of my homies showed me this place at Brookfield that i go to.

If you show you care and remain salty people are gonna exploit that weakness. Stay Linning...don't care.

Im the only white guy at my court so...
When my jumper is on, i get called novak.

When i play good defense or run the floor well, i get called kirilenko.

Once i blew by some guys, took it to the rim, and dropped a dime and got called nash. Doesnt happen much cuz i play mostly off the ball tho... :(
