Since this is not a real publication of any sort, I don't typically bother with things like fact-checking. So thanks for calling out my mistaken airballed-layup attribution; that's what the comments are there for. Since we already spoke via email, I'm just posting a reply here to bring things up to date; I plan on interviewing you about the experience of being on a reality TV show, and the Plight of the Asian Baller (which I can say, since I am (half of) one myself). Talk to you soon and thanks again. Thanks for responding. Since this is not a real publication of any sort, I don’t typically bother with things like fact-checking.

I guess Freedom of Speech is something that everyone benefits from living in this country.. so u can say whatever you want , and think the way that you wanna think without worrying about anyone else...(and ironically sometimes people perceive things wrongly without any background knowledge hey.. more power to you that way... ). First of all.. I am not here to criticize anyone, because it's impossible to make everyone like you on this place that we call earth... (FYI, you might've needed some glasses to really tell who shot that "airballed lay-up"...I think everyone who was part of that NYC team should deserve some credit, even the ones that didn't play at all in that last game... lol you probably didn't even know that some players didn't even play, or did you?) it was an epic battle btw two cities for bragging rights, so it was really intense to begin with... let alone the thousands and thousands of ppl watching the game.. it was absolutely nuts... However, I already felt fortunate to be a part of the show and the game itself.... there is one thing that you might not have known.. it was up to MTV to edit the show the way they did... frankly, they created certain impressions of that "Asian Dude" to the public... all I NEED to say is that... they couldn't have possibly stuck with me out of 500 hopefuls if I didn't have anything more to offer in terms of basketball than my "High Basketball IQ"..and maybe a good story-line.. again, feel free to perceive things the way you want.... but thanks for your opinions on the show... I do agree that it was a wonderful production.. take care,,, by chance, I came across with your post..I definitely enjoyed reading it..and it is always good to hear “the flip” side of the story… I guess Freedom of Speech is something that everyone benefits from living in this country.. so u can say whatever you want , and think the way that you wanna think without worrying about anyone else…(and ironically sometimes people perceive things wrongly without any background knowledge hey.. more power to you that way… ).
