Comments on: Where Are All The Asian-American Basketballers? http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/where-are-all-the-asian-american-basketballers-21395 Celebrity sports gossip since 2001 Mon, 13 Feb 2012 12:17:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: John http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/where-are-all-the-asian-american-basketballers-21395#comment-342432 John Fri, 01 Apr 2011 08:53:32 +0000 http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/where-are-all-the-asian-american-basketballers-21395#comment-342432 It's exactly true in my opinion.. As an Asian American you don't get respect for being a basketball player.. It's tough, my high school basketball coach cut me even though I was play really well against the other basketball team members. Every time at the park people expect to mess me up on defense or sag off me on defense, but I usually end up surprising them, people pass me the ball the least even though I'm the best on the team. I constantly get into arguments when we play, it's just ridiculous, if you want to make it as an Asian basketball player you got to shine twice as much. It’s exactly true in my opinion..

My bro tried out for the junior team and didn't make the first cut, but when he tried out for the senior team he made it. When there was a game between senior and junior teams, he let it on in scoring and showed that junior coach. My bro is a humble guy, but his teammates say the junior coach is racist towards asians .
