Reason For Lin's Breakout...

[Pugz]

Jeremy Lin has been getting advice on dealing with life in the NBA from Yao Ming.

“I actually talk to Yao after every game,’’ said Lin, the first Chinese-American NBA player. “He’s taken me out to eat when I’ve seen him. He’s obviously a role model, big brother and mentor to me. We keep in touch all the time.’’

Lin was born in California and grew up in Palo Alto. Lin’s parents are from Taiwan. Though Lin understands Chinese, he does not speak it fluently.

hahaha. I read that last night too -- kid's got connections. But no offense, Yao shoulda hooked him up with an apartment in the city.

All asians tend to know all other asians so especially in the NBA where there's very little asian players it doesn't surprise me. lol

This is definitely the reason why Lin is averaging 20 and 10.....

Dude is such a freak. It's not normal to be that tall.

Isn't he 7'6? Also, don't see how this connects to him being great all of the sudden.
