Transcript
Hey, my brother. We did it. We made it out of Kumon with this one. And it's a prize pick. Hansen Yang from China was drafted sixteenth overall. The Portland Trail Blazers via the Memphis Grizzlies best, you know, they were looking out into this crowd, and they just saw a big Asian guy. Rank they're like, hey. Yeah. We're trying to run five. You good? And now Portland, they have three better, one of everything. Shout out to all the young Asian hoopers out tier. They'll be called Hanson Yang for the next three to five years depending how good he is. The longer young Asian basketball players are called Hansen Yang, the better his career will have gone. Like, I was never called Rank Jie Jie growing up, but I damn sure was called Yao Ming quite a bit. And, you know, you take it for granted sometimes being called Yao Ming hooping. Because one tier, I was having a bad game and someone called me Sean Bradley. At that point, it's like, dog, you can be racist to me all you want, but you have to respect my game. Anyway, this is a big win for the motherland. I can't wait for Portland to have, like, you know, dumpling night or, you know, dragon festival better celebration night or something.
