This guy clearly doesn’t want any part of getting into the ring with Manny Pacquaio.

Isaiah Thomas said the same thing 25 years ago about Larry Bird....of course its was all taken with sh!ts and giggles...

White people finish high school, go on to college and have careers but don’t get the same praise...

Floyd Mayweather? Did he have the barber shop on THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW?

Come on all you freepers know better than that. Racism is defined by that great man that freed the slaves and gave us the three day weekend. The “KING” Martin Luther somebody “I have a dream that one my children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the party on their voter registration card.”

At least that’s what I learned in public school.

Black players do what he does every night

Sorry, Bozo, but you've taken too many knuckles on your noggin to think straight.

Lin has scored more points (130+) in his first 5 starting games than anybody in modern NBA history.

That's worth talking about.

and don't get the same praise

Yeah, nobody talked about Shaq, or Kobe, or that Jordan fellow...

Hey Floyd, didn't you hear?

Jeremy Lin is the Affirmative Action Asian Player.

See The NBA has too many Black players and that is just too unfair.

Not to worry, Whites aren't part of the NBA Affirmative Action program due to their relatives all used to own slaves.

Stupid coming in the wake of the idolization of Michael Jordan and scores of other black players (literally too numerous to mention) of today and yesterday.

I guess he never heard of John Starks. He was loved as a Knick because 1. He was good. 2. He was an underdog. People love underdogs. He should drop the racism. It’s just plain stupid.

Sure Floyd...In Michael Jordan’s heydays, no one ever remarked on his play at all, it was ordinary...

"Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian.

Nope, not all of it. Lin is a quality point guard whose play has sparked a 5 game win streak from a team that was going no where. While it's two superstar players were out with injury. In the biggest media market in the world. And Lin came out of nowhere to do this, after being cut by two teams. He'd be a story right now whatever his ethnicity.

And then there's the fact that he's Asian.

Mayweather needs to get back to doing what he does best - making up lame excuses not to fight Pacquiao.

Lin is a very smart player. While sitting on the bench and watching, he figured out that most NBA players (who are mostly black, Floyd) are NOT interested in playing defense except for the occasional shot blocker whose rejections will end up on the ESPN highlights.

Once he was in the game, Lin knew that all he had to do was wait for the other team's big guy to be out of position and he could drive to the basket or fake the drive and pull up for the jump shot.

The utter morons who are not playing defense, but only waiting for their chance to score, have failed to notice this as have their genius coaches.

A decent college team that plays tough defense could probably stop Lin, but the lazy primadonnas in the NBA can't.

Sure, his being Asian is a big part of the story.

But he has had the best first five starts of any player ever, even better that Michael Jordan’s first five starts.

His being Asian is the primary reason why he wasn’t recruited or drafted.

Had he been black, his HS resume would have landed him a top-notch scholarship, and his play in college would have made him a lottery pick.

It cuts both ways.

Yeah- Floyd seems to have forgotten a golfer by the name of Tiger Woods that received incredible media attention when he started out, not only for his excellent skills but also, well- Care to admit it, Floyd?

I wonder what he thinks of Chris Rock’s skit on racism. It’s on Youtube.

Yeah! Lin should be an electrical engineer or oncologist like other Chinese, and leave basketball for black people!
