    I am embarrassed by Stephen A. Smith because of his skin color.

    Taken out of context like a mutha*****er... Why is it that Lin plays a good game like last night and not a single Lin thread in sight... Lin scores less than 10pts and you see Lin threads exploding all over the place in the GARM...

    Human race is embarrassed by Stephen A. Smith.

    Please, send him to Mars or something.

    First of all, are players extra amped to play against him? I think for a lot of guys, yeah.

    So, does his skin color plays into it? I would say definitely, but also the media hype and the contract are part of it too.

    Anybody who thinks that Lin hasn't been at least somewhat affected by the fact that he's almost always the only Asian on (or even around) the court is truly delusional.

    Just an honest question because I've noticed this quite a bit.

    Why do you take everything pointed towards Lin so personally? I know you're not a "LOF" or whatever. Just wondering out of curiosity..

    players come at him harder for several reasons, like someone mentioned earlier, his big contract, the media hype, and ultimately his race. No one wants to be beaten by the average Asian.They want to prove that they are better deserving than him.
