Kapitel 61: Chapter 55 Jordan's People

"Frye. He's unexpectedly popular in D.C.,"

"Oh?"

Susan O'Malley hadn't expected that.

She knew that Yu Fei, as an Asian basketball player entering the NBA, naturally carried the support of many Asian Americans, but Asians made up less than 5% of the total population in D.C. Even for Yu Fei, that shouldn't amount to much influence.

The assistant explained, "For the past two months, Frye has been training intensively at Keller Gymnasium in the Arlington Community. Since the place is very close to his home, he usually doesn't use any transportation. He jogs there and back every day, so fans frequently encounter him, some chat with him, others offer him rides, and before you know it, the media caught wind of it. Michael Wilbon from The Washington Post has mentioned him several times in his columns, and that's why Frye's popularity in D.C. has risen."

"In terms of popularity, Frye is probably second only to MJ and Rip," (Richard Hamilton's nickname).
