:lol

I really thought somehow NY and China forced Stern's hand

[cantthinkofanything]

Well done sir.
I could barely contain my outrage as I clicked on the op, ready to unleash a conspiracy theory rant littered with racial insults.
Well done.

[pass1st]

Lin has all-star on lock next season, he has the white & Asian vote

[Frenzy]

Unless he crashes and burns.

[Giuseppe]

Unless he crashes and burns.

"Hope, hope."

[hater]

I believe tomorrow Chuck + Snaq pick Rookie/Soph teams.

heard Lin might be "allowed' to be picked.

[resistanze]

Well if Rapper is any indication of things to come, he'll be starting for the East next year.

[scanry]

I think Lin will probably get more than 4 million votes next season. He's probably automatic for the Guard position for the next 8 seasons. I guess Rose or Wade will no longer represent the East. :wow

This will get much worse than the Yao situation.

He ain't Chinese so how come he'd be the nation's enemy.

[Kewni Leonard]

Good one. You almost had me.

[Latarian Milton]

nope but u guys act like he is tbh :lol

[wanggi]

nope but u guys act like he is tbh :lol

Not me.
Because I know Lin's parents still hold Taiwanese citizenship and Taiwan govenment has issued the Taiwan possport for Lin.
I don't give a shit that some of Communists (Chinese) like Lin or not.

[Giuseppe]

^He's a genuine zipperhead. He knows whence he speaks.

:lmao I was close

"A league source on Thursday confirmed a New York Daily News report that the NBA will make Lin part of the field for the Haier Shooting Stars competition during All-Star Saturday night. That would enable Lin to join Shumpert's dunk routine as well. NBA commissioner David Stern told USA Today earlier this week that Lin will not be a special late addition to the annual Rising Stars game featuring rookies and second-year players at All-Star Weekend."
