Article: Floyd Is an Idiot but Mostly Right on Jeremy Lin

[Walt Liquor]

Agreed. But with President ***** weighing in on Lin its pretty big. As always, respect!

Of course dunn, always. Tredh too. Its beneath floyd to be so petty. Its not like Lin himself is saying he's the best basketball player in the l.

If he is part of the knicks going to the finals, he deserves all kindsa props cuz they were hot garbage before.

Floyd's statement is more of a commentary on the media and it's not really about Lin himself. Everybody quickly turned it into a Lin vs. Mayweather situation.

Semi decent post from brother jay. Floyd just hatin for no reason basically.

Bo jax was only on si and GQ cover. An eskimo would have been on time and Si though.

If post count was by the word, you'd hold the record.

nahh it's all about winning...the guy's a winner.

Mayweather does the same and gets no credit... he has a legit beef with the media.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

wrong, they also didn't play on a team with multiple superstars that were playing like ish that they turned around.

his media attention for 7 damn games is something that floyd should just stfu about. why should floyd give a damn about some kid who might be just a flash in the pan.

lets say some mexican QB rolled up onto the colts last year after they were 0-8 last year and won 5 straight games with sick ass number. do you HONESTLY think that he would just get an average amount of airplay? It's not like the media has forgotten about lebron and all the other black players.


he's HATING ON THE HYPE LIN IS GETTING. can't you see that? let the dude get some hype. wtf? again, if it was a black hockey player for the bruins or rangers doing similar things, he would be getting hype galore.

I think he was just making a comment. Lin is so far beneath Mayweather Jr as far as athletic accomplishments, endorsements, monetary gain etc. I just never looked at him as hating. Its like when everyone made a big deal about him outscoring Kobe, Kobes a legend Lin has started only a few games.

Floyds comment has truth to them no matter ow we feel about Floyd. If Lin was some just white kid r some black kid no one would care as much but with the Asian basketball community Yao Ming is done and Lin is up next, him being in NY helps like hell.

Floyds comment has truth to them no matter ow we feel about Floyd.

The problem with Floyd's tweet is that he believes that Lin is hyped ALL because he's Asian. Yes, Floyd is correct in saying that race plays a role but the problem with his logic is that it is not even the biggest factor why he's hyped. If Lin was black, he probably would be recruited by the best athletic colleges and probably be drafted in the top 25. If you looked at Lin's history, it's pretty sad that no gave him a chance because he was Asian. Most looked at him and said, "He's a Divison III player."

[Gary Coleman]

Lin scored more points in his first 4 starts than MJ, Iverson, or any other player since the NBA/ABA merger. Lots of guys – black, white, whatever – can score regularly, and Lin may not continue to be this effective, but nobody has come out of nowhere to carry a team like he has.

This is a different NBA. I'd love to see Lin vs the 1980s Pistons.

He's good, no doubt, but Floyd was right. Lin does nothing that Rondo doesn't do on a nightly basis. He's Asian and plays for the Knicks. That's where the much of the hype stems from.

Still, it's a good story every time.
