Linsanity!

So a young kid plays basketball while at Harvard, goes undrafted, gets dropped by two NBA teams, kicks around for a while, bums couches to sleep on in New York, ends up playing for the New York Knicks...and becomes a sensation.

Jeremy Lin has captured the imagination of New York--and indeed the country--with his heroic action on the court: 5 straight wins, including a 38 point game against Kobe Bryant and the Lakers.

"Linsanity" has gripped the Big Apple. You can't even get a Lin #17 shirt in this town. At last, the Knicks don't suck. Everyone wants to go to the games and see this Star-is-Born kid knock the socks off even the most veteran players.

This story is so fantastic on so many levels: an young player comes out of nowhere, plays on the biggest stage and doesn't just rise to the occasion but MAKES the occasion. He has pulled his team together in ways even they didn't expect. I attended a Knicks game shortly before he joined the team. Some of the star players, like Carmelo Anthony, were on the bench with injuries. The team wasn't winning, and they seemed to lack energy and spirit. Lin has restored that--and more. Yes, he's helping to lead the Knicks to victories. But he's also got them functioning as a team that actually now looks like it's having fun out there. Lin congratulates his fellow teammates and they, him. They are working together and making each other better players as a result. When the star players rejoin the team, they'll have the benefit of Lin's talents---and they'll step up their games to match him. That's the beauty of good teamwork. Lin is also a good kid: his parents raised him right and brought him to church every Sunday. He never hesitates to thank and praise God.

Of course, it was only a matter of time before another athlete---perhaps jealous of all the success and attention Lin is getting---took a swipe at him. Boxer Floyd Mayweather tweeted that yeah, he's a good player and all, "but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise."

Actually, Floyd, players of any race who perform spectacularly get big praise..and big money and contracts and endorsements and fan adulation. As time passes, some of that falls away. The reason Lin is a sensation is because he's GOOD. Not because he's Asian. He's also brand-new, and people love the latest and greatest. You see, Floyd, in America, we don't break things down by race or any other group. Liberals do that, but the rest of us don't engage in "identity politics" or "identity sports." We let talent and hard work do the talking, and this society rewards anybody who rises to the top because of them. You, Floyd, obviously luxuriate in "identity politics," and that's pathetic. Let your performance in the ring speak for you from now on because you've just shown yourself to be a bit of a racist.

As for Lin: what a lovely surprise for the Knicks, basketball fans, and all Americans. He is showing that the American dream is alive and well. Go get 'em, Jeremy. We're all Lin-Maniacs now!

Oh, and while troll Dumbo is using the Internet to copy more Vietnam "words" to invent a stupid "background" for himself, let him also post for us "PSYCHOPATH LIAR." The world of psychiatry knows what Dumbo is. Why won't he share THAT with us, instead of telling us about his black beret and tank awards from his "Navy" experience in VN---Whiner

Notice how Whiner took my statement that I have several Berets GIVEN to me from friends whike There.

And, turned it into saying that I was ALSO in special Forces and in 2 branches of the Vietnamese Army?

He wants me to post a foto of myself. And this is from a guy who has posted fotos of others for HIS AVATAR!

Unfortunately Floyd Mayweather hit the nail on the head. If Lin was not an Oriental, but instead, just another black player, he would largely go unnoticed. It's only brainwashed white people that are afraid to admit race plays a large part in everything that animates American culture. Race is especially punctuated in sports - albeit in implicit or tacit forms. Moreover, whites pretend the very real inter-racial tensions don't exist -- and for good reason.

While Had it sawed-off never knew that under Bush, oil went to 147.00 a barrel. While under Obama it only got to 113-115.00
Then, as they said on Fox, Bush, right before the election. Told the oil people to have it dropped severely to make Republicans look good.

IT WAS ON FOX, FOLKS!

So, don't believe them. Then, blame a Conservative news source.

Noticed how the drop was right before an election? Coincidence? hardly!

Also, notice LR saying, "Marxist"?

To a Conservative, if you don't think as they do. Then, you're a Marxist.

Even a dog.

The MORE I look at how Conservatives think. The more comical it is!

WHY ARE CONSERVATIVES LOOKED UPON AS JOKES?

Imagine an eternity without pro sports or Olympics because everyone will be able to do it and athletic ability will be as meaningless as it should be now. Remove latent homosexuality and gambling and RACISM and sports won't exist.

Going to be awesome. The last vestige of Rome, decimated for all time, purged from the human experience.

If the G.O.P. has any chance to win, the conservatives need to put aside their pride and throw down for Willard.

At least Willard has a snowballs chance....

OTOH, Santorun, whilst a solid social conservative, dosen't stand a chance against the goat herder in the general.

Why, you ask?

Hard to believe that he was not an Asian when cut by two teams or when the Knicks were deciding to keep him or let him go - what is really hard to believe is that his talent was missed as he played every day in practice. Thank goodness that the Knicks kept him around.

I think you're giving Mayweather too much credit, DJ.

He's merely taking advantage of the immunity all blacks enjoy when it comes to spouting their racist thoughts.

This is not to say that all of them do it, but that when they do it, it is eminently tolerated and, in some corners, even lauded.

Later on when He formed the Disciples they often loved to have wrestling games in the Greek style, nude.
