Chinese Mom In L.A. Posts Craigslist Ad Asking Jeremy Lin To Become Tenant

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.
2012年Linsanity正發光發熱之時，最為人們津津樂道就是他曾流浪借宿且曾睡在尼克隊
友Landry Fields沙發上，與Linsanity在場上的表現反差之大更讓人加深了灰姑娘傳奇的
故事性。
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.
大意: 提供房間給亞裔NBA控球後衛(符合條件的還有別人嗎? XD)
環境好，氣氛佳，有獨立房間衛浴設備，走幾步就有海灘，附近不只很多球員當鄰居，
湖人練習球場也在這一帶。另外社區還有很多教堂，但是教堂去離房子有點近又不會太
近(XD)。
免房租，只要給我們湖人隊的票就好。
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。
心得： 地方的媽媽需要小林
