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

[Carpe Diem]

I don't know who's the bigger attention whore, LeBron James or Floyd Mayweather. Those two will do/say anything to crave attention.

floyd does have a point. Lin wouldn't be getting nearly this much publicity if it wasn't for the fact that he's asian.

David Lee was putting up crazy numbers with the Knicks and no one ever talked about him, Kevin Love was/is putting up crazy numbers with the T-Wolves but no one paid him any mind until he had that 30-30 game.

The NBA is notorious for this type of ****, just look how hard their pushing Blake Griffin, they even rigged the NBA Dunk contest for him.

The fact that he came out of nowhere makes it noteworthy. It's not only because he's asian but that does play a part. But at the end of the day, if he continues his level of production for two or three more seasons he barely gets to where Rose, Westbrook, and Paul have already been.

keep in mind he won't be the go to guy for much longer. If he keeps his this kind of production once Anthony comes back he'll be in a position similar to Westbrook, who is widely criticized.

While there are black players who do what Lin has been doing, it doesn't change the fact that it is still impressive. Nobody is saying Lin is on the same level as Jordan, Kobe, or Lebron; however, he isn't far from Derick Rose if he keeps up the work.

Stop it please.

Talk to me when someone bothers throwing their entire team at Jeremy Lin for the whole game in order to stop him.

I love when a Mayweather speaks

Because it's always some truth to what they say that's why the whole world get bent out of shape and call it racist. The Mayweathers speak there mind and don't play it safe. Gotta Luv Uncle Roger, Floyd Sr. and Little Floyd, Oh I forgot he don't want to be called Little Floyd.

floyd once again proving he doesn't know **** about basketball. Lin has the highest points after starting 3 and 4 games in nba history. Not Jordan, not Kobe, not anyone has scored more than Lin in that regard and only lebron has had 4 games of 20+ points and 7+ assists this season.

So how does "black people does what he does every game" even make any ****in sense? No black player has ever done what he has done PERIOD.

And this is the same guy who ducked and dodged c j watson to beat up his baby momma and doesn't even know what "allude" means lmao

It's sickening how some black people love to talk racist shit but when it's done back to them, they're the first to cry for Jesse Jackson for help.

What a way to be a role model for little kids Floyd.

It's his story that intrigues people, not the fact that he is just scoring big... you've completely missed the point.

How is he being racist? I'm white and I agree with him.

If lin was black, some hardcore NBA fans would be talking about him but none of this mainstream linsanity bull**** would happen.
