LOLLLLL

Floyd Mayweather is absolutely right about Jeremy Lin. BUT black people in general have received inflated praise for accomplishments that if they were white would receive no fanfare whatsoever.

No, Mayweather is exactly wrong about Jeremy Lin.

Over the past 5 games in which he has had his first career starts, Lin has scored more points than any NBA player in HISTORY. This includes all-time greats like Jordan, Shaq and Iverson.

So Money May’ ought to shut his trap and box.

No...actually he's not right at all and his response smacks of ignorance and racism. Lin had the best 4 game start of any point guard since the merger of the ABA and NBA regardless of color or background.

Whether Lin pans out over time, as some of his game is figured out, remains to be seen. But, to say "black players do what (Lin) does every night..." is patently false since this type of start has never been done before.
