    Not a true underdog unless you go undrafted

    He's not an underdog because there are so many people overrated him.

    To the two knuckleheads, listen to video again please. He referenced before the NBA.


    I'm just glad WE have the opportunity to watch him blossom...or not.

    Dude, Lin is a real underdog. Parsons saying that he should have been picked higher doesn't even compare.

    That's last season. I hope he keep up his good work. So far, he has dropped from last season.

    n.
    1. One that is expected to lose a contest or struggle, as in sports or politics.
    2. One that is at a disadvantage.


    He was expected to lose out on making the roster and struggle to stay in the NBA because he was at a disadvantage physically and skill-wise.



    so, yeah, i'm pretty sure it applies to him.

    SMH.. Obviously both should have been picked higher. Just because Parsons says it doesnt mean it only applies to him.

    Rudy is THE UNDERDOG... Joking aside, Parsons at least got drafted. Tell that to many great players who made it without even being drafted. Ben Wallace?

    Man, Ben Wallace was such a great player in his prime even with a very limited offensive game. One of the best defensive bigs in the modern era of NBA.

    By "physically and skill-wise" do you mean "he is white"?
