    Lol so lin scores 25 and now he's the Asian MLK. Oh the struggles of a Harvard grad. Here's a thought, don't waste your time worrying about stupid stereotypes. Sick of people pulling the race card every time.

    Unfortunately, those stupid stereotypes exist. Not worrying about them allows them to continue existing.

    Unfortunately Lin doing well actually promotes more racism. Do you know how many times people call me Yao Ming out on the court? Well... at least Jeremy Lin will be a more accurate comparison of how I play...

    When Baron Davis returns Lin won't get enough minutes to score 25 again.

    False logic. Stereotypes have to resolve themselves. Crusaders rarely fix such problems. We simply need to stop acknowledging that he's Asian every time news or a highlight of him appears. No one person is going to do accomplish that.

    Shot very well in college. From what I saw in that highlight, he should be starting. It didn't look like a fluke at all. Lots of tools and well rounded. And given he's had huge games against teams like UConn and Boston College in the national spotlight and nationally ranked, added to his high school achievements, the kid sounds real in addition to looking real. Then you get chanted in Madison Square Garden. D'Antoni would be a fool in my opinion not give him a run. The door is wide open for him to not only be good, but a star. Ki'ds on a bubble.

    When the alternative is Toney Douglas, why not?

    If that's the case then why didn't Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian get that much fans?



    People like Yao and Lin because they worked hard to get to the league. They are not athletic like others in the league but it doesn't stop them from working hard to be better.

    It's good to see Jeremy Lin has picked up the NBA cliche answers to post game interviews.

    he's smart, the #1 rule is to be cliche and don't draw any negative attention to yourself.

    He is very religious. Lots of "thank God" in his answers. Lin will be the Hoops Tebow soon.

    It's obvious that this forum is full of Asians and there is Asian biased here on CF, just admit it.

    there are also people on the board like this who disrespect Rockets history

    http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showpost.php?p=6321996&postcount=9

    Why do you care about Lin or Yi? You should care about people who hate on Rockets legends like Olajuwon

    Lin had a good breakout game with the Knicks and people question why he was let go, it's a legit discussion.

    I don't care about YI or Lin, I'm just stating a fact and people attack me.

    Not until you admit you hate Asian in any professional sports.

    What did Asian people ever do to you?

    I never said I hate Asians, I have Asian friends but I will never do bessinuse with an Chinese. I don't care if you think that's racist but I was too pissed off of that situation.

    And Asians are too easily offended. You play the race card for no reason.
