When Linsanity exploded in the winter of 2012, one of its major story angles
was couch-surfing. Jeremy Lin used to crash in the apartments of his brother
Josh and Knick teammate Landry Fields, even as he became a cultural
phenomenon. It only served to bolster his Cinderella story.






More than two years later, this becomes relevant again because of an amusing
Craigslist ad posted in Los Angeles.

兩年多後，在Craigslist免費分類廣告網站的LA版，一位亞裔兒子替他的亞裔媽媽
貼了一則這樣的廣告。




Room available (Asian American NBA point guard preferred)
available now
w/d in unit carport
no smoking
private room private bath


My Chinese American mom, a former schoolteacher and a HUGE Lakers fan, thinks
that my parents' house would be a great place for Jeremy Lin, if he needs a
place to crash when he moves to LA. Mom thought it would be a good idea to
put this on the internet just in case it finds its way to Jeremy.

Jeremy, they have a room ready for you:

Room available in Redondo Beach house. Great location, quiet, 2 blocks from
the beach, away from the hustle and bustle. A lot of other players live
nearby and it's close to the Lakers' practice facility. Lots of Asian
churches in the area. Close, but not too close, to Asian communities (kind of
like living in Palo Alto but by the beach). Live rent free, just have to do
your own laundry and pick up after yourself. . . and also provide tickets to
Lakers games. We can carpool to the Staples Center.*

*Yes, these are all things that my mom actually said to me.




另外，當你去球場時，我們提供專程併車服務。




At least one source vouches for the authenticity of this ad. "I actually know
this person, and she is, hands down, the biggest Laker fan I know," according
to AngryAsianMan.com.


有人對網站說，他知道這位媽媽是誰，她真的是湖人的超級粉絲。
