    How are Lin and Watanabe related in any way? As a person who worked and lived in Tokyo, the two countries could not be different, in present day. You just come across as racist. Grow up. Act your age.

    If you remove the word 'Jeremy'
    then the filter alerts for a poster who claims to be a Nets fan would not join this thread.

    Again, I appreciate all your topics. I understand them.

    Wtf are you talking about? There are and have been great posters who are not Rockets fans, and add a different viewpoint that have resulted in great threads.

    Sounds like an important skill that keeps a guy in the NBA and not in the G-league or lower.

    Hey hermano. I remember the name, but not his content. What was the deal with him? I just looked and we joined within a month of each other. Crazy. Feliz día.

    I am really by no means an expert on this, so I'm probably talking outta my ass too. but I think there are also many sub groups of people within the Han Chinese ethnicity. But for Korea and Japan, they are more defined because they were people native their island/Peninsula that shared a distinct common language system and culture for thousands of years. I think there are also ethnic minorities in Japan, specifically people from Okinawa who are not considered to be ethnically Japanese.

    Either way I don't think people like when their ethnicity gets lumped in with another, whether it's due to prejudice, history of war or invasion, or just superiority complex. I know some Austrians that hate to be lumped in with Germans even though they share a lot of cultural history.

    Agree,
    Great players from other Asian countries who play in the NBA should never be classified with really bad players from America

    And not a Rockets fan. I like to think we're an open minded community, at least in the hang out.

    he loved to talk about the rockets, while we have people who never go talk about them and openly say they aren't fans.
    Also as a media member with some type of dignity . He shouldn't have to go all Stephen A Smith about his fandom (fake or real).

    I, my opinion, believed he was really interested in the Rockets and the Rockets fans.
    He was not their to promote himself or make replies because he's insecure about his favorite player being criticized.

    he was also not part of a cult .
    @Os Trigonum @Zboy

    He at least knows where Houston is on a map of Houston

    That's the most ruthless thing America has done to Japan since Nagasaki
