I disagree, see my post number 18 on this thread!

Your post sounds contradicting, we are stereotyped, but Lin's success will open up sports to non-blacks, especially whites? Are you saying non-blacks will suddenly not be stereotyped anymore?

.....And what's with the Jesus worship comment?

...meaning coaches, scouts will maybe start looking at non black players - whether white, asian etc in sports which blacks seem to be more dominating, and not stereotyping whites or other non-blacks in sports that is assumed to be black 'specific'...basketball, football, track and field (sprinting primarily).

The jesus comment is more to do with the fact that some highly recruited athletes, mostly black, who have great success in high school are held in a god-like light. My point is this - Lin won a state championship, in California no less, and the big schools did not come, why? because asian guys are not Basketball players. White guys fall somewhere in between, where a black guy winning the state champ would be held like a 'jesus' figure and highly recruited.

If Lin was white he wouldnt have got to play at all. The knicks would have found anyone else to fill the spot. Anyone who thinks Asians, or any other race faces more discrimination than white athletes is full of it.

You are so wrong. Lin was about to be cut, and they had no choice to start him. You seriously are deluded if you think an Asian guy will be recruited over a equally talented White guy, especially in Basketball. No way. Throw the black guy in the mix, and the asian and white guy can go play ping pong.

If it were a job involving Mathematics, the Asian guy is getting the job, the White guy will be his assistant, and the black guy will be the janitor.

OK, I get it, but I still disagree. I hope you're right though. As I stated in my earlier post (18), I think whites will have to get off their butts, get tougher as I said about Larry Bird and white BB players and white RB's will have to be given an opportunity to play the skill positions.

That's not the point...everyone knows that whites get the most discrimination and that the Lin story probably doesn't happen.....with all the glorification in the media....if he is white. But I can tell you that the Lin story has made it much easier for me to argue with the DWFs about the caste system....the discrimination in the recruiting/drafting....and stretch it into getting them to finally acknowledge all of that. The Lin story is essentially the Wes Welker story.....different sport...with much more media frenzy for the cute Asian kid....but the same story.

Yes, I agree.
It's much easier to make the point now when you can bring an Asian into the conversation. Because people just shut down when you say that whites are discriminated against.
The whole black-white topic is so touchy, people are just uncomfortable to even entertain the conversation.
But being able to bring a 3rd race into the discussion makes it more palatable for them. And gives us an opportunity to make our points in another way.
I've already started using Lin as an example of what I call 'racial profiling' in sports.

The only good thing to come out of this whole "Linsanity" goes along with what Jacknyc said. When talking sports with DWFs we can now bring up the sudden interest in Lin by the Asian community's interest in him...we can now ask the basic question of why is it ok if Asians are allowed to openly cheer for a player because of race but white people are not allowed to cheer for white people because they are white.

Im very pleased to read that some are having a little more success in conversation with DWFs because of Lin. That has not been the case in my circle at all. Everyone is lined up to praise Lin like Ive never seen before. A reason to root for a non black without being racist. Its so perfect! Even seemingly aware men are swept away with it. The propaganda has been more effective than the mind molders could have wet dreamed.

How does a thread that is essentially about Jeremy Lin starting for the Knicks' morph into this theme?..


[video=youtube;Z0GFRcFm-aY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0GFRcFm-aY&ob=av3e[/video]

--And Lin is culpable for what Keith Smart has done to Jimmer?

--Lin is also responsible for Carmelo and Amare stinking it up since returning to the court from their situations? (This question is for "FredetteFan"). In their loss to the Miami Heat, undeniably a good team, Carmelo was 7-20 from the field and Amare had 6 turnovers. Lin struggled, of course, but he wasn't solely responsible for the loss!

--And, if Lin is being held to the standard of having to win a Championship as essentially a rookie (with his "stacked" team), then there really are "similarities" between him and Tim Tebow! The bar continues to be moved. The Knicks' may be a high-priced team, but they aren't exactly a high-talent team.. the huge contracts to Carmelo and Amare, and they overpaid Tyson Chandler in free agency. Lin passes the ball to the Knicks' "superstars".. they need to step-up and do what they're supposed to do. If not, then maybe Lin has to score around 20 PPG for the Knicks to have success.

I think it's funny how the Lin racial angle is played for profit by various groups. In fact I think allmost all of the so-called racial issues that are brought up are merely a way of generating publicity for a person or group.

For example when the Lin thing first hit the ice cream company Ben & Jerry came out with a special flavor of ice cream in honor of Lin. Obviously a PR gimmick to help move more product--which is okay we are still a marginally capitialist society.

After a news cycle of free pub for Ben & Jerry Inc. which I'm sure boosted sales a bit there was another news associated with the new flavor. Seems B&J had as one of the ingridients in the special flavor: "pieces of fortune cookie" which is of course HORRIBLY RACIST!!!!

So Ben & Jerry announced that due to complaints they were changing the flavor to replace the fortune cookie with chinks, er.. chunks of something else.

However there is no report of who complained and why anyone should care. It was clearly a self serving display of ethnic pandering to keep the product in the news cycle for a while.

Hopefully the people who performed this manipulation were smart enough to buy some company stock to benefit from the short spurt in sales.

Ben and Jews...er, Ben & Jerry is a company that has seen its last cent from me. A couple of days ago they went on Youtube, defending the OWS losers. The will also finance them to rampage against the conservative movement and the RNC convention later in the summer. Yet the MSM is obviously silent. Look Foobar75 stated, it will take some overt damage against White Christians to WTF up White Christians and their legions of DWFs. God help us.

I'm surprised that anyone would believe that this Jeremy Lin bloke's sudden popularity is even tangentially beneficial to the "White cause" as it's quite obvious that the media mantra of hyping anyone but a White is being strictly adhered to. I wonder how many shirts emblazoned with the name "Lin" have sold in China and Taiwan?

Little White kids simply see yet another non-White being lionised, adding a chop-stick laundry boy to the pantheon of black NBA heroes, black NFL heroes, and "Hispanic" and black MLB heroes.

In case anyone still hasn't realised, the Chinese are a far greater threat to the White race than the Negroes, who are hard-pressed to master the arcane art of tying shoelaces and are nothing more than the unwitting cat's paws of a certain ethno-religious group whose name begins with J. Without the careful protection of this ethno-religious group, blacks merely constitute a nuisance similar to vermin (some would even say that, strictly speaking, Negroes are vermin) - dirty, ugly, parasitic and pestilent, but not exactly possessing the intellectual equipment to independently destroy Western civilisation...

However, if You want serious anti-White racism on a higher plane, forget the primitive Negro "gangsta" with his pants half way down his grotty arse and look no further than the Chinese, whose smug sense of superiority and natural entitlement gives the Jews a run for their money.

If anyone believes that the Chinese (or other Asians) respect Whites as equals and that the two groups can harmoniously coexist on a long-term basis, then I've got several structurally sound bridges that I can sell You (sold as seen; a 10 % cash deposit shall suffice for now :icon_wink:).

Anyway, that concludes my guest appearance in the NBA section... :icon_wink:

Yes great post! Lin's populatity here and elsewhere is part of the syndrome infects many of our people. Whites are trained to cheer for the non-white underdog and since in the NBA blacks can't be considerd the underdog, that misguided impulse switches to asians.

Are there ANY american born white point guards that start and play in the NBA? Not even one? The response should be SH!T they can dig up an Ivy league chink to run an NBA team but out of the thousands of white players that star at the college level they can't even find one?

I think the message that sends to fans is that whites are even worse then asians except as big goofy dufuses that park under the basket and wait for a rebound to fall into their hands.

Are there ANY american born white point guards that start and play in the NBA? Not even one?

Going into last night's night's action, 3 of the top 5 assist men (PG's) in the NBA were white:

1. Steve Nash, PG PHX 11.1
2. Rajon Rondo, PG BOS 9.6
3. Jose Calderon, PG TOR 8.8
4. Chris Paul, PG LAC 8.5
5. Ricky Rubio, PG MIN 8.2

Of course, Nash is close to 40 and winding down his career. He was born South Africa, raised in Canada and is a total liberal multi-cult zealot, to the point I really don't even root for him much any more....Calderon and Rubio are, of course, from Spain....No other white guards (PG's or SG's) are to be found after those 5 for a while...American born Luke Ridenour comes in at around 40 among the league's top assist men...He does start, but at SG for Minnesota, even though he's a natural point guard.

Goran Dragic and Jimmer Fredette (American) are the only other white point guards among the top 100 assist men listed at ESPN.com and even white shooting guards are suddenly rare...American Steve Blake, Lakers part-time starting point guard, has averaged 3 assists this season....That should rank him in the top 100, but his name has totally been ommitted from their stats page, for whatever reason -- perhaps because he's too white...maybe because he's missed a dozen games due to injury?

So, yes, the NBA is pretty much down to 3 white American PG's: Ridenour, Fredette and Blake...and even the European PG's are becoming scarce....for example, former NBA 1st round pick Petteri Koponen has done real well in Europe, but no NBA team has been willing to bring him over/sign him....same with American PG Nick Calathes, who is doing great in Greece. Both Calathes and Koponen are behind the ancient, total ineffective Jason Kidd in Dallas http://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2012/2...nen-calathes-update-for-those-who-are-curious


As far as the Fin, you'd think the NBA would love to have a Scandanavian star to help sell 10 to 15 extra jersey's in Europe? Don't sweat, here are the NBA's top "Vikings", I bet they are "beloved" by the DWF's in Europe:

There's also Kirk Heinrich. Not sure if he's been injured this year. But the point is well taken - white American guards, especially point guards are suddenly scarce.

As I mentioned earlier in this post, white American guards have lost the ability to take the ball to the basket. And if you can't drive to the basket, you can't be a good point guard. The only white guys who take it to the hoop are big men, and foreigners.
I think white guards have been 'caste' into being strictly shooters and passers, and not drivers and scorers (think Ginobelli).
Lin is amazing at driving to the basket and finishing. Our guys could actually learn a few things from him.

Even for the NBA, Noah’s facial gear is an alarmingly monstrous concoction of tissue and bone.

CAPTION: “Daddy’s Girl” Seduces His Own Favorite Player

I’ll never forget when Noah’s Florida squad won the (lowly) SEC Championship in 2007, and Noah, so euphoric at the thought of achieving this modest goal, channeled the ghosts of his father’s African predecessors…

Vern Lundquist, the portly, elderly, pathetic yes-man who never met a Negro he didn’t adore, can only muster his Jew-approved “awe shucks” chuckle, as his ride in this nation’s hell-bound hand-basket features the comfort of some corporate mansion, far away from the feral brown organisms he’s been tasked with extolling for four decades. Vern's response to Noah's homosexuality-inspired dance routine: "Heh-Heh, that was pretty good!"

Carmelo and Amare have been superstars for years. You honestly think they suddenly forgot how to play? Lin is being exposed. He snuck into the limelight, and is now getting owned. When you force him left, and trap him past midcourt, he can't get to ball to the scorers in their sweet spots on the floor. He's also been shooting bricks as of late.. 4 of 13 tonight, and 37% over his last 6.

His videos have been studied, he's now on scouting reports, and the blueprint on how to neutralize him is out. Luckily he signed that huge Nike deal so they can start pumping out the sneakers in Taiwan and China before all of the air is out of the "Linsanity" balloon.

14pts, 7 assists, 2 steals, 3 rebounds is a pretty good night for any point guard.
It's quite an exaggeration to say he's 'getting owned'.

He's basically a rookie, so he'll have his off nights, and Carmelo and Amare are going to get some their share of points he used to get, but he's definitely a big time player.

That's simply your opinion.. and why is Carmelo and Amare's inability to play effective defense being "excused?"

And, interestingly, why did you "forget" to mention that Carmelo was 2-12 FG in the same game that Lin was 4-13? Before Lin was inserted into the lineup, the Knicks had an awful record, and I doubt you had high-expectations for them at that point, even with "superstars" Carmelo and Amare.. (The difference NOW is that you think you can sit back and blame Lin for everything! That's a sweet deal there.)

The Knicks are facing a tough schedule in the 2nd half of the season (4th toughest), and they will suffer losses. Even though I've never been arguing from a position of "liking the Knicks" or suggesting that they are going to beat everybody this season (and I really don't consider them to be superstar-laden), I can attempt to be honest about why they are in their predicament. Simply, the Knicks don't possess a "Big 3" as the MSM suggests.. and they are ineffective on defense. As it pertains to production or lack thereof, I refuse to ignore any member of the Knicks.

I just wanted to add my two cents. I think Linn is a very good player. He has the potential to be a great player but like it has been said, he is a rookie. I enjoy watching him. There is alot of jeolosy in certain communities of him and I'm not talking about the white towns. Anyways, I love your guys enthusiasm for him but it seems like it is getting a little bit over the top. Kevin Love is one of the top 3 or 4 players in the Nba yet he gets talked about only about half as much. I like the Linn story and I root for him but it's not why we are here. Let's please try and put the same amount of rooting for Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio, David Lee, Dirk Nowitzki and many others. We also should wonder why Jimmer Fredette doesn't get the chances to play that Linn does?

"Enthusiasm for Lin is . . . over the top"?!
I have to disagree.
The vast majority of this thread is about the media and public reaction to Lin, and the racial angle it presents; not about Lin or his play.
There is actually very little support for Lin as a player in this thread.

Meanwhile Kevin Love is a great story this year, and is slowly getting some recognition by the goons on ESPN. But they prefer to talk about Blake Griffin, just because he can dunk. But the rest of his game is just average, and Love has outplayed him, and is statistically far superior to him.
But I don't think Love has enough media coverage, and is not on a winning/playoff team, so he'll be lucky to be in the top 5 for MVP. They'll vote for the obvious media darlings - Kobe, Lebron, Kevin Durant, Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, etc.
This website has Love as #8, and dropping.....

The undressing of Jeremy Lin, and the exposure of "Linsanity" continues unabated. Today's absolute 5 for 18, 6 turnover destruction further strengthens that reality.

The Pre-Lin Knicks weren't losing the games because they didn't have Jeremy Lin.. they were losing because Carmelo was distributing the rock. He's not a point guard. CARMELO was the one who BEGGED D'Antoni to put Lin in. Unfortunately, Lin's not capable of beating swarming defenses to get Carmelo the ball at his most optimal spots on the court.

In Carmelo's last 4 seasons:

'07-'08 - Iverson, who scored 26.4 a game and had 7.1 assists per. He had no problem getting his shooters the ball at their sweet spots on the floor. Carmelo averaged 25.7 PPG on 49% shooting. The Nuggets won 50 games that year.

'08-'09 - Chauncey Billups (17.7 ppg, 6.4 assists), got his guys the ball. Anthony scored 22.8 on 44% shooting. Denver was 54-28, and made it to the Western Conference Finals.

'09-'10 - Billups (19.5 ppg, 5.6 apg) - Carmelo 28.2 ppg, on 46% shooting. Nuggets 53-29.

'10-'11 - Billups (17 ppg, 5 apg) - Carmelo 26 ppg, 46% shooting. Identical numbers with the Knicks as with the Nuggets.

Now, with no Billups, but with same coach and system, he sucks. The Nash/Amare combo was one of the most potent in the league as well. Are we really supposed to believe it has nothing to do with the guy who distributes the ball?

Their late game comebacks as of late ALWAYS happen with Lin on the bench, and Baron Davis running the point. Conventional wisdom is that Davis will be starting by years end.

If he was Kobe, D-Rose, Monta Ellis, Kemba, Arenas, Westbrook, John Wall, D.J. Augustine, Jeff Teague (etc etc), we would be told "that he's just being aggressive (which is a GOOD thing we'd be told) and just wants to win!" The man just wants to win!

The Pre-Lin Knicks weren't losing the games because they didn't have Jeremy Lin.. they were losing because Carmelo was distributing the rock. He's not a point guard. CARMELO was the one who BEGGED D'Antoni to put Lin in. Unfortunately, Lin's not capable of beating swarming defenses to get Carmelo the ball at his most optimal spots on the court.

"Carmelo was distributing the rock".. On a consistent basis? I don't remember it quite like that. And, it's irrational to think that the Knicks' can score themselves out of the hole they constantly get themselves into because of playing NO DEFENSE! Tyson Chandler was supposed to go from the stronger Western Conference to the weaker Eastern Conference and be a beastly force, but that hasn't quite happened yet. He's not in his prime anymore.


Now, with no Billups, but with same coach and system, he sucks. The Nash/Amare combo was one of the most potent in the league as well. Are we really supposed to believe it has nothing to do with the guy who distributes the ball?

And those Phoenix Suns' teams played NO DEFENSE! Amare was also an underwhelming rebounder.

Their late game comebacks as of late ALWAYS happen with Lin on the bench, and Baron Davis running the point. Conventional wisdom is that Davis will be starting by years end.

There's some sentiment on this thread that Lin would be a starter for years to come "because he's Asian".. I've personally been skeptical of those posts. Just look at the reality.. why are you going after Lin and not John Wall or Jeff Teague? John Wall hasn't received a bunch of coverage since entering the league? He hasn't had "turnover issues?" And, you could put John Wall on the Knicks, and they would still stuggle defensively and not get over the hump. "Building a basketball team (college or NBA)" is not as easy as some people think, I'm aware of this, and the Knicks' simply overpaid for what they have. They are one of many NBA teams' that have done the same exact thing..

For some reason FredetteFan really hates Lin - not sure why.
But he is not the reason for the Knicks recent decline.
It's Carmelo Anthony.
When Carmelo was injured and not playing, the Knicks won 7 of 8 games.
Since his return, they've lost 6 straight games, and 7 out of their last 9 games.
That's not a coincidence.

And before Lin, with Carmelo, the Knicks sucked.

Carmelo is not a team player, not a defensive player, and can't play with an uptempo offense.

I think Lin is going to be a very good point guard for some time to come....like it or not.

Noah is frighteningly ugly and freakish looking and has a strange resemblance to Side Show Bob from the Simpsons....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxMui7oRXTw&feature=related

For some reason FredetteFan really hates Lin - not sure why.
But he is not the reason for the Knicks recent decline.
It's Carmelo Anthony.
When Carmelo was injured and not playing, the Knicks won 7 of 8 games.
Since his return, they've lost 6 straight games, and 7 out of their last 9 games.
That's not a coincidence.

And before Lin, with Carmelo, the Knicks sucked.

Carmelo is not a team player, not a defensive player, and can't play with an uptempo offense.

I think Lin is going to be a very good point guard for some time to come....like it or not.



CarmelYO is grossly overrated, overpaid & over exposed.
