    It seems like they want Lin to sit in the front of the bus, and force everyone else to sit in the back.

    This is the dumbest thread and comparison I have EVER SEEN....should burn and throw away this rubbish.

    J.lin compared to j.robinsons' situation is disrespectful.

    What a bunch of fake rockets fans these lof are!
    Pippen is the most hated person in rockets history.

    These California people are so clueless about rockets history and civil rights history.

    Maybe these people identify with Lin when they don't pass the ball on three on one break and miss the layup.

    This topic was brought up cause Lin fans love to the play race card when he starts to suck on the court.


    Then these racists say Yao Ming ain't Asian cause he's not from California .

    79 people actually voted yes... I hope they were sarcastic votes...


    Do LOFs simply erase Yao Ming from history in their minds....?

    I told you they don't count him cause he's from china.
    they make up a racist reason not to identify him as Asian because he wasn't a raised in Palo Alto.

    Merican is an acceptable variant spelling.

    Identifying with an athlete as an inspiration is one thing. Seriously comparing him or his journey to Robinson another entirely. I think some folks needs to do some reading. And no, renting "42" doesn't count.

    Lin is what he is. He is Robinson and the Holy Ghost. (I kid)
    During Linsanity. He isn't the first Asian though.

    But he did inspire the young God loving generation, Asian and Asian American community.

    79 people voted, yes but there are only a few names...I think this poll is rigged.
