I don't mean for this blog to become the All-About-Gene-Yang-Blog, but sometimes a a guy just deserves to be in the spotlight for a while.

On the First Second blog, Gene posted his perspective on being a NBA finalist, how he finally heard the news, and what his parents think about all the publicity he's been getting.

The best part is his take on Western Media vs. the Chinese Media.

"The reporter from the Chronicle called early in the morning and politely made an appointment. The reporter from the World Journal came into my classroom completely unannounced, before the school day was over, while I was working with students."
But, he says, it was an honor to be treated "like family" by the biggest Chinese language newspaper in the world.
