This guy is the ******* man. A Harvard educated Asian-American.

Dude is tearing up the Lakers right now.

He is very fun to watch and even more fun to root for.

That was fun to watch. He's got a very deceptive first step and he plays with the confidence of a perennial All-Star. He made some incredible layups tonight and his feel for the pick and roll is very Steve Nash like. It'll be interesting to see how it all works when Melo and Amare return to the lineup.

As a Knicks fan I love it, but I know Carmelo will screw it up when he returns.

Carmelo likes to hold the ball, takes the flow out of the offense and it doesn't make the defense work hard. Lin is the opposite, always moving with and without the ball. Definitely fun to watch, sounds like a good guy too.

20, 6, and 8 tonight including the winning FT's at the end of the game. This is what I hate about the NBA, as soon as Carmelo comes back, the Knicks will go back to Anthony taking 35 shots a game. Then when Amare comes back Anthony's shot total will drop back to 32 a game.

Excellent. Great personality with amazing skills and smarts. I don't know which is more impressive.

Lin calmly knocks down the game wining 3 for a big comeback win in Toronto.

The legend continues to grow...

Unbelievable!

Floyd Mayweather Continues Attacks On Asians, Jeremy Lin

February 14th, 2012

By Scoop Malinowski

Oscar De La Hoya called Floyd Mayweather “a spoiled brat” in the leadup of their world title fight five years ago. Those words may have been the truest ever spoken about Mayweather by any important figure in the boxing industry.

Last week, Mayweather, now 35, has continued to show his immature, spoiled brat behavior by criticizing new NBA sensation Jeremy Lin of the New York Knicks who has emerged from obscurity to become a sudden, overnight star.

Mayweather tweeted: “Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he’s Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don’t get the same praise.”

Don’t forget, Mayweather’s racist video rant against Manny Pacquiao and all Asians, and his absurd claims that the UFC was started to give white fighters a sport to dominate because white fighters were so inadequate in pro boxing, though the stupitidy of Mayweather ignored the total domination by the Klitschkos in the heavyweight division.

Mayweather, showing his jealous tendencies like a childish spoiled brat, isn’t happy with the outstanding successes by the against-all-odds, underdog newcomer Lin has achieved for the Knicks. Lin, who was a complete unknown just months ago, like a Rocky Balboa, has taken the NBA by storm and jumped right in and lead the Knicks to an exciting winning streak, while it’s two high paid superstars Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudamire have been out of the lineup. It’s one of the big stories in all of American sports right now, everybody is talking about this new whiz kid on the block Jeremy Lin.

Mayweather, the jealous and envious person that he is, isn’t happy about the colors of Lin’s excitement show. Mayweather thinks the Harvard alum is getting too much undeserved credit from fans and the media because of his ethnicity.

Instead of being happy and enjoying the excitement Lin is bringing to sports and the NBA, like all other sporting fans, Mayweather would rather sports fans ignore Lin and heap more praise on black NBA players.

It’s just more embarrassing, illogical nonsense from the woman-beating, convicted criminal, boxing shame Floyd Mayweather Jr.

You have to wonder, just how much longer will the American boxing powers-that-be continue to keep this dishonorable fraud in his high position as the face of American boxing? How much longer are Ken Hershmann, Richard Schaefer and Al Haymon willing to promote and disgust the sports world with this disgrace named Mayweather? How much longer will Haymon, Schaefer and Hershmann empower and use Mayweather as their moneymaking attraction? How many more crimes and shameful acts will Mayweather continue to commit before Haymon, Schaefer and Hershmann finally say, “That’s enough. Mayweather is a negative blot on boxing, he is polluting and discrediting our great sport of boxing and driving people away. It’s time, we have to sacrifice him to Manny Pacquiao and then move on.”

As Mayweather realizes that he has the protection of Haymon, Hershmann and Schaefer, who knows what else he will do or say next. And what further damage this deranged human being will inflict on the goodwill of the once noble sport of prizefighting.

It may be time for a massive world boycott of Floyd Mayweather, perhaps the most effective action to stop this fiend of boxing is to boycott his next fight vs. Miguel Cotto and cut off the revenues that Schaefer, Haymon and HBO expect to make off him. Once Mayweather can no longer generate revenues, his protectors will throw him to the wolves. Maybe that’s what boxing needs most of all…effective immediately, a global boycott of Floyd Mayweather in order to bring in the new era of talented boxing stars like Andre Ward, Tavoris Cloud, Seth Mitchell, Nonito Donaire, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Gamboa, Golovkin, Bute, Pirog. I repeat, Effective immediately.

Jason Whitlock also waded in on Twitter:

Quote:
Fox Sports’ Jason Whitlock apologized for an insensitive-at-best, and racist-at-worst, tweet about Knicks guard Jeremy Lin, which Whitlock posted after Lin’s 38-point performance against the Lakers on Friday.

In a thinly-veiled reference to a stereotype about Asian men, Whitlock tweeted, “Some lucky lady in NYC is gonna feel a couple of inches of pain tonight.”

Mayweather= a hell of a boxer, but comes off just terribly in every other aspect.

Whitlock, who I like, though quite often disagree with, really made a dumb comment there, while trying to be a comedian. I see worse on Tosh.0 every 7 seconds, but Whitlock isn't a comedian, he's a writer. The joke was not particularly funny and was in bad taste. Personally I don't care that much and will continue to read him, but any backlash he gets from this (and there has been a lot), is his own damn fault.

Where is that tolerance word when we need it?

...and now the media attention he has gotten is starting to p!ss me off, leave the kid alone for heavens sake.

Yeah and then they start with crap about him and Tebow.

I wonder if the media will ever notice that he is so right handed dominant as a player. Saw him play for the first time today and you could literally remove the left side of the court.
