Reminds me of World Cup time. Everyone's a "Canadian" until it starts. Then they're from Portugal, Brazil, Italy, Germany etc. (wouldn't matter if they played a Canadian team) With large pockets of most nationalities someone's celebrating every night.
I imagine the sale of Lin jersey's would do quite well here.
The thing is though that everyone, not just Asians, were cheering for him. It almost seemed like the Jamaican bobsled team. I said to JJ earlier that when Australia qualified for the World Cup in '06 and they were playing Greece (the Euro Champs at the time) in a friendly, we paid $300 for our awesome seats which 2wks before would've cost maybe $150 because we just wanted to be a part of it. I'm not Australian and I'm not Greek. But you knew the atmosphere would be amazing and you only get that chance a few times in your life. Doesn't matter where your allegiance lies, you're just going crazy because you love sport regardless of what it is. Bloody awesome
