    Maybe the security guard is just a fan of the team and just doesn't wan't Lin to jump in the air with the ball with no one to pass too. :p

    Wonder what kind of credentials he owns to prove he's a player on the team, do you get an employee badge to get in? X)

    Maybe he just had a bad hair cut, so he looks like someone who could be dangerous.

    He's just short

    I bet Zhou Qi wouldn't even get stopped going into any arena

    That's so crazy, do these security people never watch games? All you have to do is turn on sportscenter 5 times a year and you'll know what he looks like. Who knows though, Lin keeps changing up his look so that might throw people off.

    At least Houston arena security always knew Yao Ming was on the team

    Maybe Lin misinterpreted the security guards gesture on pointing him to the opponents locker room/entrance?

    Lin's next hairstyle should be hair hanging down covering his face, sad expression with some "guyliner" like an emo band. Because his distressed-but-getting-over-it-maybe tone comes off too melodramatic teen drama.

    Like this stuff. Coming off as the humble overcomer, trying to make it like its "understating" things, but it conveniently happens that he's leaving some material to chew on

    He had the skit "You CHANGED, Bro" mocking people's perceptions that he's become "different and aloof" after the fame though he's really the same ol' guy. Really he SHOULD change his talking style more.

    Asians are known to sneak around in arenas?

    This is such an ignorant post. It's a very ironic one as well.

    It's not racism. It's just that noone can believe he's a basketball player.

    PBBWA is the new DWB

    Clutch the Bear once captured a couple of ninjas lurking at the TC with a few pies at their faces.

    All jest aside, I do think that most posters here (most American for that matter) are quite ignorant about racism Asian Americans face.

    But the subject belongs to the D&D. So does this thread.

    This is a much more interesting and thread worthy Jeremy Lin thread than Jeremy Lin as a Brooklyn Nets thread.

    Lets keep this thread going.

    Pretty much. I'd bet other bench players who aren't abnormally tall get stopped by security once in a while as well.
