… to YAO MING and the ROCKETS!! WOOHOO! okay, I know this was two days ago, but i haven’t had a chance to post it till today. but boy was that a cool game, and boy, Yao Ming is a badass!! and his parents are so cute!!! hehehehe.
.. as for the shaq comment, well… i wish i could say i was really mad about it, but personally i think shaq is a dumbass, and his comments clearly reflected that he’s really not the ‘aristotle of the nba.’ plus I don’t think anyone really takes him seriously. it reflects a sort of not-too-bright humor, one that reflects a very passe mentality. this is helped along by the fact that his performing it so stupidly is a deterrent in itself to others making asses of themselves in a similar fashion. not all action inspires imiation. sometimes it’s a mistake other people learn from.
and asian american protestors? I feel i’m very much in the Asian American cause, but i feel like protestors at an event like that is ridiculous. it makes the incident not about shaq and his stupidity but about Asians and their uptightness. keep the focus where it belongs…
