    When he did that 'taiwaneses dribble'....i was quite surprised admittedly. Not a bad rendition of the beards 'eurostep'! I read somewhere that the players actually practice or 'attempt' to practice hardens move....how funny!

    Be like harden? ala BE LIKE MIKE?:)

    Seriously though, if Lin can be somewhat mildly successful at that move going forward, he will get just as many foul calls but without the hard landings. Harden is a friggin' genius! Except last night when the refs decided to let the two youngest NBA teams duke it out without calling any fouls.

    There is no such thing as Taiwanese heritage except the aboriginals. All other Taiwanese are of Chinese heritage.

    Haha some of you people are hilariously sensitive.

    Quit pulling the race card every chance y'all get. It's almost never about that.

    No, my parents explained to me NOT TO tease other. On a school environment it's called bullying. In a work place it's called harassment.

    Worrell's comment is not derogatory in any way. Race relations in the USA would be much better if no one thought the way you do.

    Bullard would just rename it the DJANGO TANGO. ;) Then Clyde would laugh as if he understood it.

    Exactly, he called it that because that's where he from. Just like the Argentinian tango.

    Henceforth Jeremy's move should be called the ethnically ambiguous step.

    Jeremy one on one fast break. Lin with the ethnically ambiguous step draws the foul and count the bucket! Lin and one. :rolleyes:

    But that's not where he's from. He's born in LA and raised in Northern California.

    It's no big deal. But I get why some people are sensitive about it. It's like if there was a Jewish player born in New York, and you called his move "Israeli steps." It's not as offensive as it's dumb.

    Lol Asians always talks bout how the Asian man never gets a fair shake. And then somebody acknowledges his heritage and they're like "wait wait hold on, he's AMERICAN."

    Top 3 Most Sensitive groups:

    1. Blacks
    2. Gays
    3. Asians

    See the second half of my post. It's like calling an American born Jewish player Israeli. That makes no sense.

    BTW, Taiwanese is not a race unless you are talking about the aboriginals, just like American is not a race unless you are talking about the Native American people.

    You do know the historical reasons why these people are sensitive, don't you. But let's stop right here. This stuff belongs to the D&D.

    So you think Asians think they don't get a fair shake because they are NOT acknowledged as Asians? Are you dumb or just stupid?

    I'm just saying people are so damn sensitive these days. Can't have any fun anymore. You have to tip toe around subjects. Comedians can't even make jokes about certain things. It's a sad and pc world we live in. Seriously, I think people go out their way to get offended.
