[in2deep]

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.

he is a sophmore, should have it on lock

[hater]

bummer

[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 I guess Rose or Wade will no longer represent the East.

This will get much worse than the Yao situation.

not really tbh, if he makes the US olympic team come summer he'd be the nation's enemy to them s

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

[wanggi]

nope but u guys act like he is tbh

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 that some of Communists (Chinese) like Lin or not.

[Giuseppe]

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

[lefty]

[cheguevara]

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 compe ion 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."

Stern gives in to pressure. Includes Lin in the rookie game. Lin goes out #3 in the draft. crazy
