She said that when Xian was eight years old, she enrolled him in summer basketball, where during a competition, the coach approached her to tell her about the complaint of some parents against her son.
“Some parents are complaining that Xian is too tall for his age group; their heads only reached Xian's shoulder,” Lim recalled the coach telling him.
The coach also told her that because of his height, Xian need not jump to shoot as he can always dunk the ball in.

“His team always scored bec he didn't have to jump to shoot. He only dunked,” Xian’s mom recalled the coach telling her.
She also recalled the coach telling her that most parents were okay with Xian’s height, but there were some who complained their sons, whom they claimed to have real potential, were intimidated with it.
“Most parents were ok. But the others? They said their sons who had 'real' potential were intimidated,” Lim recalled the coach telling her.
Xian’s mom said that because of this, Xian wasn’t able to play in ‘for trophy’ competitions.
Years later, she learned the boys “with potential” weren’t able to make it to any league because they didn’t grow much.
“We should let our children enjoy their games bec interaction at that age is more important than scoring, & more because this is where they first learn the value of unity & friendship,” Xian’s mom wrote on her Instagram account.
