Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Stand Firm on Jeremy Lin Comments

[The Big Dunn]

Jeremy Lins is getting praise for coming off the bench and producing extreme numbers just like previous HOF players.. Lin turned that team around and made NY watchable again considering their sloooooow start to the season and the injuries to their key players..

If Baron Davis came off the bench and produced the same numbers Lin has been dishing out and turned the Knicks around we would be dealing with Davisanity.. The fact of the matter is Lin was a no name who had an opportunity to prove his worth and he did.. Floyds an idiot and I cant believe ignorant people just like himself even listen to him.

Dude please. The NBA is using Lin to replace Yao Ming as they contiue the effort to expand business in China. They aren't gonna do that with Baron Davis for god sakes.

I think ultimately race has alot to do with everything especially if it is a sport that has been dominated by a Black,White,Hispanic whatever..so whenever someone shows up that is good, but not normally what you would expect in terms of race, people do notice. With the Tiger example, if he would have been that good and a white guy, it would have not been that big of a deal..If Pac-man would have been either black or hispanic, I honestly believe it would not have been that big of a deal either. But Honestly whol the Fk cares what Mayweather has to say. The more he stays in the limelight the better the PPV numbers will be! for him at least$$

Ultimately however the media spins it, Lin got me watching basketball again..dud basically came out of nowhere and has made enough of an impact to make the Knicks bearable to watch.

Don't put Kevin Love in the same category as Fredette and Morrison.

Yeah I should have lefted him out that was disrespectful to him he's a 2 time all star and the 3-point champion Morrison is the biggest NBA draft bust not named Kwame Brown and Fredette has turned out to be all hype so far

I thought Lin nationality was from Taiwan not China. I wonder if asian people feel like Hispanics do when they are incorrectly called mexican, salvadoran, cuban, or puerto rican etc..?

At the end of the day, I just think that Floyd lost some money on a game because of Lin and that's why he tweeted that.

Floyd was right.........


Kings rookie Isaiah Thomas is averaging 18 points and like 6 assists over a stretch of games and was the last pick in the draft.

No one has said a word about it.


So dont tell me that him being Asian and playing in NY has nothing to do with it.

Coming off the bench? That was like 10 games ago, HOF numbers? 6 Turnovers a game, which Hall of Famer you talking about?

Your an idiot.. If Baron Davis came off the bench doing what Lin was doing Davis would be getting praised.. The fact is Lin was over looked, took an opportunity and opened alot of peoples eyes.

I agree. I do find it amusing that Floyd has so called boxing fans discussing basketball on a boxing website.... I mean the site is posting articles about basketball because Floyd made a comment that Lin was good but....... lol

Its interesting... but you're right he's probably bitter about losing. Hey it gives *******s hope, it allows them to talk about something when it comes to "losing". Topics outside the ring is all they have, so let them have it! lol
