    I lived in Japan for 4 fours and was discriminated against but that has nothing to do with JEREMY LIN, lol. You guys are comedians. Yes there are racist people out there. some black, some white, some Asian and whatever else color there is. Jeremy Lin is an unproven star. He just got a contract for 25 million dollars and he is playing like crap.

    look, There will always be people who write negative articles or say mean spirited things about him. That does not always mean racism. The majority of the hate he gets is from his play. When he starts playing well again. You will see crazy Jeremy Lin love. If we make it to the playoffs and he hits a dagger 3 or a game winning shot people will compare him to Jordan. this is basketball, that is the way it goes.

    WOW, YOU WERE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN JAPAN FOR BEING BLACK?!? WOWZORS, BECAUSE THAT TOTALLY HAS TO DO WITH HOW JEREMY LIN IS THE ONLY ASIAN FACE IN THE NBA with hundreds of black players, many of whom hate him for his skin color.

    You sound just like the people who say, "Well, I'm a white person who has lived in China so I know what racism is", or "I have black friends." lolz. You may have faced racism, but you have NO IDEA what it's like to be asian american; to have the media constantly bash your people, have no asian face in sports/movies, to have it be much more acceptable to use racial slurs in public against you compared to any other race.

    Again, like skip bayless said, if you don't know what it's like, shut your trap. Before telling us to stop talking about racism, you should talk to your reps jesse jackson and al sharpton, b/c there are a ton of things people can say FACTUALLY about black americans that aren't said b/c they would be racist.

    -Lowry/Dragic groupies: Without getting rid of Lowry, there's no Harden. Think about it.
    -Contract cost: I'm sure Les appreciates how much you care about his billions. Really, the contract doesn't affect the flexibility of future moves so what the problem?
    -LOF: Such a sad pathetic reason to hate on a player, it's almost funny. Log off this forum and re-evaluate your life if you're so bothered by a few crazy fans on the internet.


    I think EXPECTATIONS and uncertainty are the reason for the sane and mature posters who are not necessarily "hating" Lin but just being very critical about his performance.
    Let's face it, Jeremy is not even playing like half the player he was in New York. Lots of reason could be due to his struggles: confidence, new system, burden of contract, knee recovery, whatever it is, there's no denying he is playing below what everyone expected, including Jeremy himself. And with that comes a lot of uncertainty and skepticism.
    So I can understand how those who are not as confident about Jeremy's talent as I am might be unsure about him but like I keep saying, give it some time.

    I really think the moment he gets outta this shooting slump, he'll regain his swag and Linsanity will break loose. Soon these threads will be a thing of the past and funny to read in the future.:p

    You dissed lfw's reading comprehension ability. And then I just stated a fact that lfw's English writing skill is much better than yours. Maybe English is not your first language so it is understandable. Anyway, I hope you are not mad at what I said.

    I can speculate but can't prove obviously. I certainly think Camel Anthony, JR smith, felton, deron williams, mike woodson, keith smart, sampson and others have a bias and discriminate against Lin b/c he's Asian.

    That's kind of a silly question though, IMO. It's like, "name me people who hate obama b/c he's black." You know they exist but are impossible to prove.

    First of all, I am not dissing your English grammar because, just like you, English is my 2nd language too. But I just find it funny of you to diss someone's English skill even though he obviously writes in English much better than you do. By the way, who has said that you must be a racist because you have bad grammar? Please quote it out if you can. Or you have lied about it?

    You are the one who first attacked someone's English comprehension ability in order to win an argument (kind of pathetic on your part huh?). But now you are crying because other people talk about your poor grammar. LOL.

    And once again, you miss the point. I guess it's impossible to teach a dog - in your case, a racist, inbred, black trailer trash - new tricks.

    While we're at it: since you can't prove it, racism is dead, right? lolz

    A myriad of scrumptious looking treats until you take a bite and find out it's filled with crappy coconut or orangy goo?
    You're right! :D
