    Is that you Jet Chang?

    Anyways.... Do yall ever wish atleast one Salvadorian ever made it to the NBA... Is it because the NBA is racist?

    For example..
    Zelaya is a great player, has great speed and power....

    Unskilled white players get drafted all the time because of market appeal to whites.

    He's already 2 steps ahead of Jeremy Lin at this stage in his career. Oak Hill Academy and playing PG. The question now is if Division I schools will give him a scholarship and give him minutes.

    Chris Tang seems to be the real deal.

    i think every Asian player who plays well will be robbed by Houston Rocket's GM for money making purpose mainly.

    Yao and Jeremy Lin are perfect examples.

    lol that's terrible, his stats. I'm Asian and I root for Asian players, but of course I have to be realistic.

    Chris Tang seems to be pretty legit tho, at his age, he seems to have a big body, and is pretty athletic. So he might be someone worth watching.

    I don't want to see sucky Asian players in the NBA that can't beat the 12th man.

    But I admit that I'd pay to see one donning a Moochie fro.

    Megaman boss?

    Well just one Asian points to the opposite. On the other hand, you have 100x more big white stiffs that have been drafted in the lottery. Yi Jian Lian's counterpart, Bargnani is still in the league only because the GM who drafted him is also Italian.

    it's a difficult sport to excel at. Look at the top guys in the league right now. all of them are black, except the south american with the euro step, Jaime Jarden. Castro is jealous of his beard.

    It's difficult for Asian players to put in the amount of practice hours to be successful, what with homework and all. Yao beat the odds.

    P.S. Horrible racist thread
