So I guess that’s why I … I just don’t want to stop talking about basketball you know? To be honest, as long as I’m shootin’ air hoops in the mud room and cuttin’ up with Arnie, and watching the games like a religion … it doesn’t even feel like he’s gone. Dad and I could talk about basketball for hours. When Lin first made it to the NBA and was struggling a bit, dad would talk about how Lin just hadn’t found his stride yet but he had greatness inside. Dad followed college ball too and knew how good Lin was at Harvard. Dad would never have gone to some dinner with this game going on.īefore Lin even made it to the NBA, my dad saw back in the day. Mom had this dinner in honour of him and I … I said I felt sick so I could stay home and watch the game. Lin was on fire and you know- My dad would have been pumped. So then for the next two weeks Lin just continued to kick major ass and I couldn’t pull myself away to do all these family activities. I’m the most relative to the situation if you know what I mean. That’s around the time some of the relatives said it seemed insensitive of me to go and play air basketball in the mud room with everyone else trying to mourn and pay their respects and honestly I don’t even care. But I didn’t, I just got into I guess a slightly ah heated debate with him where I like, dared him to a game of air basketball in the mud room. Dad would have kicked Arnie out of the house by now. Arnie tells me, the only reason he’s getting any attention is because he’s like one of the first few Asians in basketball. Of course he didn’t, so I had to tell Arnie myself how Lin’s got this low dribble that throws the defense, how his pick and rolls and combinations driving to the net are sick. I actually looked over at dad, lying there in our living room, wearin’ his Sunday best, I half expected to see him get up. I never would have said anything, but out of the blue my cousin Arnie is like, “Jeremy Lin’s a passing fad.” If my dad had heard that, he’d have jumped out of that coffin and whooped Arnie. I’m only here because my mom caught me talking about Jeremy Lin at my father’s wake.
That’s why they wanted me to come talk to you. As in I’ve got “a condition” called Linsanity! And anyone in their right mind who has seen point guard Jeremy Lin do his thing on the basketball court would have it too! I don’t need therapy! I don’t need to be here.
