He is also introduced throwing balls on the basketball pitch. This is evident by the fact that he is always wearing a basketball jersey. Tyler's passion seems to be sports, basketball in particular. This makes sense as to why Tyler would tease Mei for her overprotective mother. In contrast to Ming, Tyler's parents seem to grant him more freedom, which is evident by the fact that they allow him to throw a party in their home unsupervised.
This results in Ming needing to soothe them afterwards. They become very protective of him after Mei attacks him, and Tyler's mother broke down because of the fact that he got hurt while calling him 'My baby' under her breath. He appears to be well doted by his parents. This is further supported by the fact that he wears diamond earrings and does not hesitate to pay $200 in exchange for Mei coming to his party. Judging by the size of the house, the family appears to be very wealthy. Tyler lives in a mansion with his parents.
