VID: Yuki Togashi (富樫勇樹) is ALMOST in the NBA!

Yuki Togashi (富樫勇樹) is ALMOST in the NBA!

Japanese point guard, Yuki Togashi (167cm) impressed fans & coaches by playing big for the Dallas Mavericks summer league team, but he didn't quite make the cut.

Well, he didn't, then he did, then he didn't.

Togashi was signed to the Mavs on Oct 15 & then waived on Oct 21 :( He did not get to play in a preseason game.

I don't think we've seen the last of him, tho. The Mavs will most likely sign him to their D-league team, Texas Legends & call him up if their guards get injured or don't perform up to expectation.

Keep in mind, Jeremy Lin made a splash on the Warriors summer league team & then later got cut after seeing very little action

VID: Endless Asian Basketball Stream

In honor of the start of the 2014-15 NBA season, here are a trailer load of not so serious, non-professional basketball vids from some of my fav Asian Youtubers.

David So - Fung Bros - ISAtv

Street Ballin Basics - Let's begin w/ a funny sketch showing an Asian trash talker taking one step beyond.

What am I supposed to do, talk about the only active Asian player in the NBA, Jeremy Lin? Man, I caught Linsanity when he was in the GSW Warriors Summer League.

There's FOB Asian player coming up, Yuki Togashi who I believe will make into the NBA this season as a replacement for an injured PG.
U heard it here 1st!

Watch the YT Playlist or checkout the rest of the vids below

HAIKU Art Review: Wylona Rin

Engorged lips, wide eyes

More beautiful than she knows

White smoke drifts skyward

There are a growing number of artist/models displaying their own sense of style to the world along with many female artists continually painting "selfies". If the 70s, 80s & 90s were about pop-psychology & searching inward to find oneself, then the start of this millennium seems to be expressing outward in hopes of receiving an echo of self.
