    What are you talking about? Shumpert could never be able to do rest of the players' tax returns for them? They would get audited left and right...

    Flynn isn't even good at warming the bench. I heard Lowry complaining that his chair was cold tonight.

    sure there are people like that. but id bet there are more people that have written him off because he's asian. surely you can at least admit he had a great game.

    Disregarding your obvious lie, do you ever consider that we like him because he's a good basketball player? Not to mention that most of his supporters here aren't even Asian.

    You, on the other hand, dislike him only because he is Asian. People have asked you to list why you dislike him, with no response.

    I don't even know why I replied, since this will obviously go over your DeVry "educated," hair-gelled head. These are the things you will be known for on here, because you do absolutely nothing to disprove them.

    You're an ignorant, racist, backwards ass waste of space. Good day sir.

    As an Asian. Its normal to root for Asian players. :rolleyes:
    Would I root for him if he sucked ass? No. You didn't see me rooting for Ha Seung-Jin. I don't even root for Yi Jianlian.

    But I knew that Lin had talent from the get go.

    Lin is a free agent so if the Rockets want him they can sign him to a contract next year.

    A lot of the appeal with Lin came from him being an asian from Harvard AND being able to ball. I really think it would be hard to argue that him being asian hasn't got him more name recognition which resulted in more people thinking he is good and wanting to keep him around. It's similar to eminem with em being much better at what he does. Time will tell with Lin.

    You are right, I was looking at Amare's line.

    I hope Lin doesn't get the Knicks into the playoffs and cost us a lottery pick.

    Ok what ever you say but answer this 2 question for me.

    Why is Lin an average player at best has a 500 post thread.

    If he happend be let's say Canadian would this thread be this long?

    I'm waiting for your answers.

    I wouldn't trust your ability to doubt anything, Mr. DeVry. A bit too outlandish for someone of non-Asian descent to call you out?

    Doubt. It.

    Wait hold on so let me get this straight.

    You hate Lin getting attention for being Asian.

    So in other words, if Lin wasn't Asian you wouldn't be hating on him, right?
