    I used to hate basketball. “There are so many members in the basketball team. You are not so talented in it and I don’t think you can play it coherently in the field.” The coach of the basketball team talked to me about the question very often during the cold winter when everyone tried to improve their skills.

ONE‚ TWO‚ THREE‚ HAMPTON!” They started coming my way; as an ex-basketball player‚ deep down I yearned for a handshake or some kind of acknowledgment‚ but I sat there like a fork in the road. Each member parted around me to my left and to my right‚ some giving head nods and some giving nothing at all. I quickly realized

    Who looks at a short Asian kid and says‚ “he’s going to be a basketball superstar when he grows up.”? The last time I checked‚ Asian people are pretty scarce in the NBA.
