Looking at what's happening in American basketball with Jeremy Lin who is "only" 1.91m tall.. there is hope for us..I always thought you need to be at least 2.1m to play against the African Americans who have come to dominate the game...
:P

ESPN fires employee for headline on Jeremy Lin
The Associated Press


BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) ESPN fired an employee responsible for an offensive headline about Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin.

The headline Friday on ESPN's mobile website was used for a story about a New York loss in which Lin had nine turnovers. The headline was an idiom that contains a word that also can be used as a slur against Chinese.

''I don't think it was on purpose or whatever, but (at) the same time they have apologized. And so from my end I don't care anymore,'' Lin said after leading the Knicks to a 104-97 win over Dallas on Sunday.

''Have to learn to forgive, and I don't even think that was intentional. Or hopefully not.''

Lin is the NBA's first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent. He captivated fans by leading the Knicks to seven straight wins before Friday's loss.

In a statement Sunday, ESPN apologized for that headline and said it is aware of two other ''offensive and inappropriate'' comments.

An ESPNEWS anchor who used the same phrase was suspended for 30 days.

The cable network said a similar reference was made on ESPN Radio New York, but the commentator is not an ESPN employee.

"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games.

Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed.


I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

"Village BA" is popular in China!
The rural amateur basketball game attracted more than 20,000 people to the scene.
The audience bought all the ladders to watch the basketball game.
The game prizes were live ducks, and even Yao Ming paid attention
