That's most of it.....not part of it.
The Asian part of the story is like 5% of this whole thing......sort of like how they measure in average height compared to us normal folk.
I'm sure that's part of it. The Knicks always get a lot of media attention just because that's where all the news organizations are based.

Or to put it another way, it's like 5%.....exactly where they rank in the top percent at doing math.
Racist jokes really never get old.
Especially when talking about Asians........it's like a victimless crime.
Brandon Jennings in Milwaukee got tons of hype early in his NBA career after a season in Europe when he was considered a bust. People in America love stories about players who were thrown to the curb.
lol part of it.
Still waiting for you to show me a player who did something remotely similar.
Yeah, don't get me wrong. He seems like a nice kid. I'm happy for him and I hope Tony Parker kicks his ass next week when they play.
Also, there are 5 other players in the league with an equal or better efficiency rating than Lin's last 10 games: LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard, Blake Griffin, and Kevin Love. I think that really puts into perspective how well Lin is playing when his numbers are comparable to the league's top MVP candidates.
pffft
Go hate on Mayweather and his defense of black players. That's how this whole conversation started.
He's not here. I'm talking to you.
If you can't think of anyone who has done what Lin has done, be a man and admit it.
Yeah he speaks well for an asian. Unlike the asain dude they are pumping up on American Idol, that guy's awful..."Hour am I supposed to rive rithout you".
Lin grew up in the US and went to Harvard...
Oh really?
Lin grew up in the US and went to Harvard...
He's deceptively fast.
I forgot to type that last one in blue.
Ben Wallace?
Mind you he wasn't that great offensively. He was a player who was thrown to curb and suddenly began to put up hall of fame like numbers.
Can't agree. He was already a four-year vet with a full season of starting before he blew up in Detroit.
But you can also say Lin is a 3 year vet.
Lin was on the Mavericks summer league roster 3 years ago. Granted he never played in an NBA game as a Mav. I think he played a couple as a Warrior.
Saying that, I do understand most of Lin's hype is due to the location he is playing in.
Edit: I correct myself 2 years ago. Lin is a 2 year vet

Then Wallace was a five year vet with a full season of starts.
Yeah OK, your right.
The nba is racist. It took all those injuries to the Knicks, the coach on hot seat, Carmelo saying give the Asian a try, and of course having to put up those crazy numbers the first few games in order for this guy to get a real chance. It wouldn't surprise me if Davis gets the starting job by playoffs when the kid slips to under 20 points a game. It took divine intervention to give this kid a stage to show the world he can hoop with the best of them. If more people not black were giving the same stage I dare say the demographics that we know in the NBA would change overnight. God bless
