26 pages!!

What's the ethnic makeup of realgm? I'm just curious. It'd be interesting to see:
% from each state
% under 20/ between 20-30/ older
% white/mexican/black/asian/other


Just for demographics reasons.

35+ pages for a 12th-14th man?

you guys need a hobby.

He has no game to his left, no jump shot (and I mean NONE) and plays like he is at the YMCA.

Get real.

If you took out 3 classes of whiners, this thread would probably only be 15 pages.

1. people arguing about race/ethnicity
2. people trolling about race
3. people whining about a thread for a 'scrub'

4. people complaining about how many pages this thread is or ought to be, yet still managing to make a post about it, thus adding to the page count and thus being a self-contradicting, hypocrite.

Case in point, you... and this guy:

Ok I've seen you say this multiple times now. The first couple of times I thought you were joking but know I'm actually convinced that you're serious. lol get it through your thick head, "Asian eyes" have absolutely nothing to do with diet and everything to do with genetics. If you bothered to do 5 minutes of research on the internet you would have realized this instead of sounding like a (Please Use More Appropriate Word). Nevertheless, thanks for the sig.

And to all the other people complaining about others overhyping some scrub, if you actually read the thread you would realize that no one is overhyping Lin. Instead about 20+ pages are just people arguing about stupid sh*t like Taiwanese vs Chinese when the two terms aren't even mutually exclusive. You can be both Taiwanese AND ethnic Chinese. Shocking isn't it?

Yeah this isn't getting back on track, and isn't even about Lin anymore.
