Just as an aside, my first basketball camp, Tripuka was there as one of the star counselors, and it should be noted:
- he's funnier in person than he is on twitter.
- he played one on one with Moses Malone and Mo used him like so much fresh meat in the cell block.

Hated him when he was Nets commentator but probably because of the jerry curl he sported on air

The Yankees play that scene in the 9th inning of games that they're losing and have for years. I hope Matsui never got offended by it.

It makes for much, much better conversation than trying to correct a 3 post newbie mutant who doesn't get the fact that it was actually the Russians who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I was told it was Canada and my source is much more reliable than yours.

I thought the comment was referring to the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor, and he accidentally said the Germans. Not knowing the film, Tripucka saying the words Pearl Harbor, made me think he brought it up because Jeremy Lin is Asian in a disrespectful manner. I misinterpreted it, as did many on twitter.

So basically you adhere to mob mentality instead of thinking for yourself?

And your thinking all Asians are the same? One more time, Jeremy Lin is of Chinese ancestry. He was born in California.

And your defending the ignorance as "twittering"?

Thats the problem with social media, it becomes validated too easy.

And now we worried about offending confusing the Japanese with the German for Pearl harbor?

If anyone should be upset it should be of German ancestry for being mistaken for attacking another country without a declaration of war but the German Nazi Party was not exactly behaving all that well at the time.

I really don't get all this!

No, not at all.
1) I THOUGHT he was making a racist joke. I did. That is the first thing me and my friends thought of when he said it on air. "WTF? What is he talking about?" And many did on twitter as well based on my news feed. That is why I brought it up.
2) I absolutely don't think all Asians are the same. I thought Tripucka was bringing up the Pearl Harbor thing as an "asian" thing, and thought HE was saying all Asians are the same.
3) This was all a misunderstanding. I don't know the age range on this board, but I don't know a lot of people my age (college) who have seen Animal House (even though it is a college movie). That's all.

How about next time you start a thread titled: "What did Tripuka mean when he said..." instead of "Kelly Tripucka is an idiot".

What! You're college age and haven't seen Animal House! What are they teaching you kids these days? So sad it's come to this.

Because I along with many others thought it was a racial thing immediately. I thought he was making a racial joke, but that was not the case.

And yeah, the college kids these days are into stoner Apatow films/indie films. Not many people know about National Lampoon.

For the record I'm Asian American so the comments initially pissed me off.

I thought this was a Knicks message board, Didn't know i stepped into the Kelly tripucka fan club.
And we're all Knicks fans, so I don't know why some of you are all up my ass over a simple mistake that anyone who hasn't seen the movie would make. Jeez.
