Comments Thread For: Mayweather Taking Heat Over His Swipe at Jeremy Lin

[lizard_man]

Where did I bring up LeBron? LeBron was hyped up since he was 14 cause he was a ****ing unseen prodigy. His hype and Jeremy Lin's hype are totally different

Im talking about a player like Kyrie Irving. A future superstar, a franchise PG, who's playing great this year and has the Cavs in the playoff hunt. Lin got more publicity and buzz in one week than Irving has had all season. Hell Irving only played 11 college games and for him to be this good is just as nice a story as Lin's out of nowhere story.

Irving has been outstanding all year, Lin has been outstanding for 4 games yet Lin gets all the publicity? Mayweather was right, if it was another Black player doing this it wouldnt be as big

because everyone already knew Kyrie Irving was going to be a future superstar. Hell he was the NUMBER 1 PICK. Everyone knew what he is capable of.

Jeremy lin came out of nowhere after being cut by numerous teams, came off the 3rd string bench to put up ridiculous stats. Of course he's going to be hyped more than someone who is already expected to do that. are you f u cking mentally ******ed? How can you not comprehend that?

Lin gets hype for doing well in New york...nobody would care if he scored 60 a game for the bucks. You don't see Floyd mentioning the LeBron hype before he even played a SINGLE NBA game....and he was going to be playing for Cleveland... What, a guy isn't entitled to props for getting people excited about the biggest market if he's not black? Heaven forbid he's well educated!

Floyd is just being a douche as usual.... With his hype job of a best friend who's the walking stereo type (50...but let's not get into that). Floyd needs to just do him and stay out of the public eye as much as possible. Lord knows he could use some good pr.



Lin wasn't some touted prospect he was just some dude trying to make it in the league and is playing his ass off for the biggest market out there right now.

Ok so why when Mike James came out of nowhere and scored 30 points in 4 straight games and became the only undrafted player to average 20 ppg on a season in 2005-06, did he get the same hype and buzz Jeremy Lin got?

So what Lin is doing isnt unprecedented, players get opportunities and make things happen. It's happened before and will happen again.

dude just shut the fu ck up already man. it's only the black people that are complaining about this ****. I was watching the knicks lakers game with a couple of my white friends and not once did they mention anything about him being Asian. They asked me how come they never heard of him and that he could ball.

of course it has happened and will happen again. Mike James earned a scholarship to a D1 school and jeremy lin didnt. Also i don't think those 4 games were his very first games in which he started.

edit: you seen all the records jeremy lin has broken. he deserves the hype

Floyd just tight a Chino is bustin ass in ball

Jeremy Lin still went to a D1 school though, so just cause James earned a scholarship dont mean nothing. They both went to D1 schools

Fact is, Lin can ball I aint denying that and I dont think nobody is denying that. But he's definitely getting a lot of publicity of the fact that he plays in NYC and is Asian.

But apparently people's feelings get hurt for speaking the truth
