After Googling this Lin guy, it appears he graduated from college only with a 3.1 GPA.
What kind of Asian failure does this?
For the love of god this.
Lin's team won't even make the playoffs this year. Let alone win a playoff game. The Tebow comparisons are ridiculous.

Lin brought his team to the 8th seed dude, they'll make the playoffs in the leastern conference. Maybe they'll matchup against the Magic!
Well it is a higher GPA with a real degree than all his communications touting teammates ever earned
Not really sure how this is latent racism when most news media outlets have been "nonchalantly" referring to Scalabrine as the "White Mamba" with nary a controversy.The nonchalant racism surrounding Lin is pretty amusing too
Well, he IS a B-Ball Player. Not an A-Ball Player.
He needs to fix his turnover issues, but he definitely has the skills to be a high level point guard. I'm sure either Carmello or New York will manage to ruin him somehow though.
So you're saying the Magic will be the 1 seed? Awesome!
Knicks are garbage. Lin is a fraud of the Flip Murray variety. The ride is fun while it lasts, but its not going to last very wrong.

Unless there's some arbitrary distinction between calling a tan Caucasian "white" and a tan Asian "yellow" that I'm missing.
Jeremy Lin is a player the NBA needs right now. A humble down to Earth person who preaches team and not someone who complains about his contract or that his teammates suck.
He definitely has revived my interest in watching the NBA season play out.

Even an average N.B.A. player can have a great game. Within the past two seasons, players including Jordan Crawford, Hedo Turkoglu and Goran Dragic have recorded a triple-double.The Milwaukee Bucks Brandon Jennings scored 55 points in a game in 2009, nearly quadrupling the 15 points per game he scored on average that season.

I just like it because every knicks fans is now on the "WE GOING TO THE FINALS!" bandwagon again. Knicks fans are funny
Joke post? It's the same reason why saying George W. Bush looks like a monkey is not the same as saying Barack Obama looks like a monkey.
So entirely arbitrary indeed? Gotcha.Joke post? It's the same reason why saying George W. Bush looks like a monkey is not the same as saying Barack Obama looks like a monkey.
There are plenty of guys like that.
There's only one asian-american hype machine that can move merchandise like crack across two continents though.
There are few but not as vocal. Then again, Jeremy Lin is only getting heard because the cameras are going towards him from the hype.lol gtfo. There are plenty of players in the NBA who "preach team" and don't complain about their contract. A vast majority, actually. Only they are black.

They were ready to put him in the hall of fame after his first game. They're so desperate for relevance.
Maybe I got the wrong impression that most NBA players come out with an entitlement attitude or other bm of others.

Doesn't really matter why, because NBA GAF has come in with their smug attitude, hilarious GIFs, snarky replies, and is just turning this into another sports megathread-style topic, where keyboard jockeys school us plebes on the intricacies of sports strategy and business.Why isn't this just another post in the NBA thread?

He is the Timbow of the NBA.
thats a pretty broad brush you got there... but i can't say that the NBA didn't deserve this kind of sentiment after the lockout.Maybe I got the wrong impression that most NBA players come out with an entitlement attitude or other bm of others.

Love the Super Lintendo Nickname.
The NBA needed a new fresh player to talk about.
lol damn why do people feel so threatened? did we hit your dog? would you go into a politics, npd, or tech thread without knowing wtf you're talking about and feel bad after getting called out?Doesn't really matter why, because NBA GAF has come in with their smug attitude, hilarious GIFs, snarky replies, and is just turning this into another sports megathread-style topic, where keyboard jockeys school us plebes on the intricacies of sports strategy and business.

oh this shit huh
im out
or maybe you (as you kind of admit) are ignorant to the NBA and it's players and shouldn't paint everyone with a broad brush when you have no idea what you are talking about.
Sadly, he's not the first person I've heard say something like that.
hahahaha
An economics degree is viewed as a "real degree"?
How do we know he's average? Look at what he's done so far. Maybe he is a great.
Did you forget there was a NBA lockout that caused the season to be shortened?
Huh, so all you need to get noticed in the nba is one good game against the Lakers.
How can you argue otherwise?
You are either trolling, or far out of your depth, and in either case, just stop.huh?
you got a link for that?
