You MUST know this about me, to understand where, when and how I grew up, and why I think the way I do: Born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Sonics and Blazers fan. Japanese-American (showing HOW I grew up). I hated Jerry Sloan, because I HATE the Jazz, Suns, Celtics, and Lakers! If I were White, and a Jazz fan, or Jerry coached the Blazers or Sonics, I would love him!
