DB:So, you can dunk on a regular hoop, too, right?
SS: Yeah. The only one I haven’t done on a regular hoop is the windmill. I’ve done the windmill in Wooden about four times. But still, 5-7.5 guy. Asian! Give me some credit, right? Half Chinese, half white. My dad is 5-8, and my mom is about 5-4. For some reason, though, I have huge hands and feet. I wear a size 13 shoe. I wore a size 12 in seventh grade. I think that gives me a good base to plant off when I go up for a dunk.Originally posted by FedfanMost ppl get childish when they lose.Originally posted by GuTOrefs in games of Spain walks with literally poop in his pants afraid of the Spanish players

Derrick Low, not "Asian"
Originally posted by Phantim3dxwow 650 was the cut off for math and reading comp. my math was the only one that was above 650, and im a native english speaker!
btw whats with china having derrick low?
I came across the posting regarding Derrick Low, who just finished up playing at Washington State, and just thought I'd comment. We've been here in Hawaii for awhile now and watched Derrick progress through junior high and high school, and he's considered probably the best, or at least the most successful local basketball player ever to come out of Hawaii. As far as we know though, his Dad is a regular local guy of mixed ethnic heritage and even though the name may be Chinese, I don't know how much of that is actually in his background, which is pretty common here, so don't think anyone here would consider Derrick an "Asian" athlete.
Probably more Asian than Derrick would be his high school teammate, Bobby Nash, who's Mom is full Filipina, and his Dad is Bob Nash, ex-NBA player and is now the head coach at the University of Hawaii. Bobby Nash was on scholarship and played a lot of minutes at D1 Univ of Hawaii, and by the way, is now playing professionally in Japan in their BJ League, for the expansion team Shiga Lakestars, as is Theo Fujita who was at UH Hilo last year, but is now playing for the Hamamatsu Phoenix there. Here's the BJ League website, if anyone's interested. http://www.bj-league.com/html/en/index.html

I read somewhere that Derrick Low is 1/4 Chinese, 1/4 Hawaiian, 1/4 Spanish and 1/4 Portuguese. I agree that he's not "Chinese", it's just some lame wishful thinking. Although he does look more Asian, if only a little, than 99% of the NCAA players (also the better ones).aim low, score high
