    Again, Tiger Woods is a great athlete. Jeremy Lin is a below average player getting the spotlight for being Asian just to appeal to the Asian market. It's one thing to be praised for being good at something. Which isn't the case for Lin.

    I didn't say 100%. I said 95%, which is ringing true so far at the very least.

    Why does dude gotto be black, though? Dude's purple, just ignore him, or better yet, just enjoy his rants. It's pretty funny. Let me summarize:

    Just a word: I think you're trolling?
    Purple Troll dude: WHAT? YOU'RE CALLING ME RACIST, you stupid ASIAN~
    Just a word: Hey, I'm Asian, so what, stop trolling.
    Purple Troll dude: WHY ARE YOU HIDING THE FACT THAT YOU'RE ASIAN?? Admit it!!! I am not a troll!! All the Asians in this world, or at least 95% are fake fans who don't know basketball!! How dare YOU as an Asian call anyone RACIST!!
    Just a word: Kittens, cheerleaders (?)
    The Rest of us: (Where's the darn ignore button again..)

    Good luck in life, buddy. You're gonna need it.

    Tiger Woods is great is irrelevant. Blacks would never have followed him if he wasn't Black, even if he was the next coming of Jesus in Golf. Not to mention how hypocritical is it to hate on a sport and then start loving it because one black guy is great at it. A joke if you still don't see the hypocrisy in this. Stop being ashamed and admit this fact first before you go calling others out.

    And Lin during Linsanity was GREAT. He took a losing team to 7 consecutive wins being UNDRAFTED, putting on phenomenol numbers, so why is it so shocking that he collected many Asians and non Asian fans because of it??? Heck I am sure DMO is huge in Lithuania right now.

    Quit crying how others are being a "hypocrite" (still don't know how it is being hypocrite to support Lin for doing well in the NBA when they aren't that many good Asian players in the league). Move on dude, the only hypocrite here is you.

    The funny thing is Tiger Woods isn't even 1/2 black (1/4 to be exact). He got more Asians blood (1/4 Chinese and 1/4 Thai) in him. You know what, Random Fan? We're gonna claim him as one of our own.

    *cue the Racial Draft theme*

    Why do you want to make such stupid post?

    I'm white and I know that Lin is an above average PG with a lot of upside.

    alright i'll take the bait.

    Asians are the only ones that latch on to people because of race? Does the phrase great white hope come from nowhere? All those white boxers that were going to be the next big thing and hyped up, of course that had nothing to do with race.

    Or that eminem sells cause he is a great musican, give me a break. he has 35 millions albums in and is no 2 of all time. The only one ahead of him is 2pac at 38 and he had to do it in 11 albums while eminem has done it in 7. Basically the only way you can outsell eminem, a white guy, in black entertainment is to be a dead black guy.

    and yes asians only follow lin cause he is asian because you know yi, sun yue, menke bateer, wang zhizhi, ha seung-jin had a huge legion of fans.

    having asians root for jeremy lin is good. Because culturally and the way he talks , to asians he is like this yellow kid which talks and behaves black. This challenges their prejudices against blacks.
    You will not find a Jeremy Lin like person in China or whole of Asia. He is a product of the US.


    But hey, this is stuff which is waay beyond basketball.

    Am I the only one that doesn't mind Lin is slightly overpaid and am happy for him?

    Considering that he got screwed out of a scholarship and his race was a handicap that played a huge role in not getting drafted, I'm happy that he finally gets a break, good for him.

    I wouldn't say 95%. A lot of Knicks fans are fans of Lin. Some hate him too but a lot still like him.

    alright i'll take the bait.

    asians are the only ones that follow someone because of race. How do you explain the great white hop phenomenon in boxing where every medicore boxer is hyped up as the next big thing?

    eminem has sold 35 millions records, no 2 of all time. The only other person that has sold more than him is 2pac and he did it in 11 albums vs 7 for eminem. So the only way to outsell eminem, a white guy, in a black genre of music, is to be a dead black guy, but race had nothing to do with wit. give me a break.

    and yes asians only follow lin cause he is asian because there was a huge legion of fans for yi jianlian, sun yue, menk bateer, wang zhizhi, and ha seung-jin.

    Sorry, but which bandwagoner joined Clutchfans on March 2013?

    Of course, I know you didn't. You just registered a new account, Glen Rice.

    What hole did you crawl out of? This thread was here since the beginning of the season, where were you then? Why care now? Did you order Chinese take-out and the delivery guy peed in your soup? Get the f-uk out of here and crawl back to your hole troll.
