That was for 2012. What about 2013? The year is not done yet, of course, but nominations are being considered.
Who do you think are the top Asian-American sports figures for this year?
Are you on the list?
I wonder if they have a list of Asian-American girls who like to dance, sing, play with dolls and hang out at the park and are still in kindergarten and love their daddies and … I can be number one at that list!
