Yep, following the telenovela, biting my nails.... Well, Houston has no point guards. The fans comments on the Nicks remaining point guards are not kind -drunk driving scandal! yo-yo weight gain! harsh words from Mello!

If any new arrival needs assistance in Taipei, I can provide it in exchange for Star Trek or Supernatural (the TV series) stuff or other sci-fi materials. Let me know what help you need by PM, along with what you have to offer in return. And yes, I am serious.

Crazy, crazy first visit of Lin. Press harrassing his Grandma, 12 bodyguards... Insane, indeed.

And TV comparing clips to the other years/times he's been here. :roflmao:

Channel 52 for the broadcast on site. Thousands in line, banner with his likeness all over Emei street, metal barriers straining to hold the crowds back. Too hot, people fainting already.

Businesses in the area are rejoicing, though. Twice the normal weekend earnings.

It's live on the news right now. He's at Ximending, it's pure madness, the area is completely packed, a sea of people. I'm glad I didn't go to Ximending tonight lol.

He's on stage right now being interviewed by some ABC dude named Jason.

And it's totally free :) ...I like Lin a lot. (I learned a few things from watching him play, as well.)

Umm, Cuban owns the Mavericks, not the Rockets. But apart from that you're right though. The Rockets are still huge in China.

So this is because of one player?
RIIIGHT!
Petty jealousy. I'm quite sure Lin is weeping into his wheatgrass juice because "downtownandrew" is having a bout of diarrhoea over his millions. :roflmao:
