tbh lin is locked the starting PG for the next 10 or more years' all star games just because he looks similar to those s even w/o much actual affiliation with them. i believe even the ex-mav zhizhi would've made the all-star games as a regular hadn't he said those stupid stuffs against his national team, even though whatever he said was flat true. dude just failed to realize he's from a country where people get punished for speaking the truth imho, it's not at all an issue to lin though since he doesn't speak zero chinese
