Three eager fans and "superman." Mallary and the cheering crowd!
This video is especially for Chip's mom. :)
Chinese people love the NBA. Why? We really aren't sure. Just last week I had a female student tell me the entire life story of Kobe Bryant. He is her idol.
So Chip has been playing basketball with our fellow English teachers, and honestly, he plays pretty well compared to his older, shorter Chinese teammates. The time commitment of playing basketball was much more than he imagined, but fortunately, the season is now over.
One of our favorite cultural stories from the basketball season was when Chip's team had a game that started before his class ended. The Assistant Dean of our department told him to let his class out as early as possible. Moral: Basketball trumps classes.
Hmmm, sounds pretty good to me....he likes to play anyway, you seem like you enjoy watching, so their "passion" could have been worse. Looks like you are having fun in the midst of work....a win/win! Prayers....
ReplyDeleteHooray for Uncle Chip! Jedidiah, Lilia, and I LOVED the basketball video!! And, happy birthday!!!!!!!
