This. And those who are making fun or insulting the guy should re read most of the posts on the board. It is more pathetic when supposed to be native English speakers can't even spell correctly and use proper grammar. Typo's are fine but when people consistently use it's instead of its, etc., and use street lingo instead of English, then insulting non native English speakers is really pathetic. We should be happy that he is trying to learn to write or speak in our mutant American English, so rather than mock him, try to encourage him. He will learn soon enough if he is really interested. I cannot speak for the native speakers here if there is still hope for them to learn English properly.
Its an ancient ritual where we sacrifice our good players to satisfy the basketball gods. We haven't done it in a while, hence the bad luck.
