IMO I think the reason Lin has received a lot of hype not only because he is a good player but because he plays for the Knicks. The Knicks have a huge fan base and is a big market team.

I have to wonder if Lin played for a smaller market team would the sports media being going crazy over him like they have been doing. I think he would certainly receive some recognition but no where near the recognition that comes from playing for New York.

League exspansion dimwit. Did you even watch Dabvid STerns press conf during all star weekend.

Look dude, I know it must suck to realize the NBA. ESPN, an other corporations are pimping Lin out since they need a Yao replacment. Get mad at them and the system.

I'm kinda confused here yao wasnt even a big star so why would the nba/espn need to replace Yao with jlin?? Yao wasn't even talk about when he was still playing haha sure his first year raises some interest but after that Yao was nobody. It's funny how u think, or maybe ur just against Asian? Why does eveything have to be race related with u? Their trying to replace Yao with Lin?? Wtf?? It couldn't just be Lin is a great player he derserve all the attention it's always gotta be a reason when it comes to u.

If thy wanted to replace Yao they would draft a Chinese player from china. Also jlin wasn't even a starter got cut and wasn't even about to make a team in the nba yet their trying to replace Yao with Lin?? If that was the case don't u think Lin would of gotten drafted and started playing sooner????

Actually, Floyd, it's not okay for ESPN to have a ****** opinion. In fact, they fired Rush Limbaugh as an NFL analyst because of the same exact thing that he said about Donovan McNabb, you know, the black quarterback.

I think this is one the reasons why he won't fight Pacquiao. He just can't believe a small midget from the islands has accomplished more than him in boxing. He just can't accept it. Now, it's Jeremy Lin. Bet you he hates Far East Movement. LIKE A G6, yo!

Sad part is Floyd will easily UD Manny 9 out of 10 times. But fear and insecurities does funny things to people.

mayweather is an idiot

Floyd is just an idiot! garden variety! doesn't matter, Black, White Asian he's an illiterate idiot. For a guy who has never faced anybody in their prime or who wasn't dehydrated or undersized he talks a lot of smack but everybody knows he's been coddled and never been in a real fight in his life. I'd rather watch bowling than a mayweather fight. There is no fight! just a waste of money. With a mouth the size of a walrus, a brain the size of squirrel and a heart the size of a fly I won't get suckered into buying a pay per view of one of his dud fights. Never again! No class, no heart and no balls. If he's so much better than everybody then knock them out(fairly not a sucker punch like the Ortiz fight) all you people who buy his pay per views are getting suckered! 50 bucks to watch him run around for 10 rounds and throw sissy punches and win on points??????? no thanks!!!

Listen people..... Basketball players are getting a lot of money and fame to do what they do so what's the big deal with Jeremy Lin getting some shine tto considering he was on the bench for most of his career? Being Asian ain't help him at that point in his professional career. If anything it hurt him because no one would even imagine that a Asian basketball player would be that effective. Floyd voiced his opinion and there is a such thing as freedom of speech but Floyd is always the one to put himself out there as the black stereo type that other races paint pictures on. Floyd is a great boxer but his personality is shallow and insecure. You eating so let the next man eat, whatever color he is. Just imagine if Jeremy Lin would have said something like that about Floyd. He would have went ballistic. Floyd is an ego maniac period. I'm happy for Jeremy Lin. I'm happy for everyone who can excel at what they love to do.

Excellent post in stating your case without getting into all of the hate. If FMJr's personality was a reflection of his boxing he'd be more beloved than Sugar Ray Leonard. I actually see glimpses of a respectful human being after he wins a fight and I just wish he'd show more of that. I think you have a solid case in pointing out the fact that he's a bit of an insecure ego maniac. It makes him a bit of an attention whore, so he craves the spotlight whether it's positive or negative which leads to him shooting his mouth off without the social filter. I guess that happens to even the best of personalities when you're surrounded by sycophants and yes men. How will he handle not being in the spotlight when he finally does retire?

Though i disagree with floyd statements about Lin. How long have you watched boxing cause the boy hasnt dehydrated anyone to my knowledge and if you were watching the castillo or ndou fight you would know that he has been i some wars and last i checked corrales was in his prime as well as castillo **** even judah. You can make an argument for anything after 06 but not before then.
