great story about darren lin from palo alto on espn.com. how can the runaway player of the year for california high school basketball not be offered a D1 scholarship anywhere? ridiculous.

i like how his dad taught himself basketball from watching kareem, larry bird and dr j on tv and he passed down the knowledge to his sons [espn.com]

admittedly, the most satisfying part of the espn story was the picture of darren blocking a brutha. SIT DOWN CLOWN.
