Summer Update

Hello viewers.. thought I'd update everybody on what I have been doing for most of the summer. School ended in April but not for this home boy, I decided to take 3 classes over the summer to lighten up my load for my final year of my education degree. Finished two of them already and my last one is done on Monday... if I finish the Final Project in time (which i should be working on instead of writing this blog).  For the past couple of summers I've been coaching JRB basketball and our first trip was in early July in Menomonee, Wisconsin. The girls didn't play to their best of ability but gave us an opportunity to see them in action and what we need to focus on for the remainder of the summer. After a late night drive home I made my way to Prov Sports Camps for the following week. Being a fellow camper and current staff member for the last couple of summers, I always look forward to hanging out with everybody and coaching. The basketball week was great, I ended up coaching the winning team of dribblefest. The league final came down to a last second play that result in a bank 3-pointer and storming of the court in celebration! What a way to end the week! After that I had a week of training the university athletes and then I was off to Nebraska for another JRB basketball trip. This was a great trip for a couple of reasons:
1. got a chance for my team to redeem themselves and improve on their last showing.
2. My good buddy Mitch "the Cat" join the program and came down to coach a team.

The trip was awesome, the drive was a little long but we had a blasty blast. Mitch made JRB history when his younger team play my team and had he said "the biggest upset ever!" which is was. It was a slow grind of a game and his team had an oppontuity at the end of the game to win and hit a running lay up to win the game. It was a well deserved when because Mitch got his team ready and hyped to play! They ended up winning second in the tournament and we placed third.

I am now currently waiting for a connection flight to Vancouver for my cousin Phil's wedding in Calgary. After being late for my morning flight cause my dad gave me the wrong information I am currently on route to my destination. Looking forward to seeing my family and also my good bud Jordan who moved out there. He is picking me up from the airport and taking for a night out on the town ha ha ha a bromance of you must say.

Dreams Come True

July 21, 2010 the Golden State Warriors signed asian american and NCAA standout Jeremy Lin to a contract! Lin who is 21 and had an amazing career at Harvard has something to prove to all the teams that didn't pick him on draft night. Jeremy had an amazing run at the NBA Summer League in Vegas and even showed his skills against some of the best.. cough.. "John Wall" cough.
Jeremy Lin jersey here i come! enjoi

Amir TV feat. Young Guns

Been working at Prov Sports Camp the last week, but been keeping up with the NBA summer league and seeing that the Raptors have been doing their thing! My bro showed me this video of a dunk off between Sonny, Demar, and Amir. Loser has to walk down Toronto in tights ha ha.. enjoi

Mavericks Asian Pride

NCAA standout Jeremy Lin goes undrafted but makes the Dallas Mavericks summer league team. A great size for a guard and knows the game really well. Would be a great back up for Kidd over Jose Juan Barea because of his size and skills. Check out some highlights below. enjoi

The Liptonians the Documentary

The Liptonians from Eric Sung on Vimeo.

I just completed my video and art class for Education and did my final project as a documentary on local standout band, The Liptonians. Bucky and Matt talk about their history, the new album and why they make music. I believe they are a great band and have loads of talent; from what i've heard of the new album it sounds great! I thought this would be a great way for them to spark peoples interest of them as a band and their new album. enjoi
