From Bleacher Report, fwiw:

Even if Goran Dragic improves only marginally next season, he's likely to "break out" simply by virtue of playing more minutes. In his return to Phoenix, we can readily expect Dragic's per-game numbers to mimic his per-36-minute numbers—the very same ones that have projected him to be a quality, starting-caliber player since his second season in the NBA. This is the kind of role that Dragic's game merits, and although the Phoenix Suns may not have seen such promise in the 26-year-old guard when they traded him away to the Rockets in February of 2011, all's well that ends four-year, $34 million contract, I suppose.

Dragic has the benefit of being familiar with his new coach, his new team's offensive system, and many of his teammates. Phoenix even imported a little slice of Houston in claiming Luis Scola off of an amnesty waiver, bridging some of what made him successful under Kevin McHale with the shooting and energy throughout the roster that originally provided for Dragic's emergence in Phoenix.

He'll have control, a level of familiarity, and the kind of playing time worthy of his talents. With all of that accounted for, it'd be far more surprising if Dragic doesn't have a career year according to all the basic counting statistics, even if this is the opportunity he was trending towards all along.

NO. Stereotyping isn't racism.

I take offence to that, You obviously implied that just because shes Asian, she will love Jeremy Lin.

By that logic, all Asian countries should get along, and they should be no wars or anything whatsoever between such countries of Asian ethnicity. You are obviously stereotyping the Asian community by implying that Jeremy Lin will be liked more than Dragic, because Dragic does not have slanty eyes, and did not get a Harvard degree.

On top of that, your sweeping comment implied that the Asian community lack social skills, to be able to relate to other human beings without an Asian background, such as Dragic, and favour Asians more, such as Lin... Thus acknowledging the negative stereotype that well-educated Asians grow up without social skills, due to the lack of love, affection, and basic training from their parents.

From that one statement alone you have stated that:
A: Asians are unable to relate very well with other non-Asians.
B: Asians lack basic social skills.
C: In General, all Asians are destined to get along, and our lifestyle exhibits a mini-utopia.
D: Asian children grew up without love, afffection, and training to survive in the world.



Be careful what you say next time. Let this be a warning to you all.
