SMH.. He a top ten pg ... Most of those stats were accumalated with a bunch of bench players with Stat and Melo out. As a matter of fact the knicks dont make the playoffs if he doesnt go on that run. Yall mustve forgot Kobe couldnt stop Linsanity.. Everyone wants to talk about the Heat game and blame Lin but not his coach who shortly thereafter resigned and now coaches a team Phil Jackson could win a championship with and they will not make the playoffs. We are discriminated against in every field and cuz pg was so hard for us to take over from cacs we aint tryin to give it up to Lin.. Look up Nash before he went to Dallas and tell me Lin is that far off
he isn't an average player but he's complaining about some shit that happens to A LOT OF PEOPLE OF ALL RACES and not just him.
like i said, he had no hype. there are plenty of games where sometimes a player beasts on someone from a higher conference.. those kids don't get drafted EITHER.
he has a target NOW because of the money and the talent... the same target that his teammate harden has now as well.
it ain't a race thing, its a hype thing.
he got his opportunity and took advantage... and at the same time i doubt if he was black when he took over for the knicks that the hype machine would have been behind him as much as it was...
i mean just a few years ago the same shit from high school to college happened to steph curry... no acc school none of that recruited him.
he had to go to the tournament 2 years and almost go to the final four to get recognition.
if lin had led harvard to the tourney and deep he would have been drafted off the strength of that ALONE.
the tourney is where all the unknowns make their money or get their draft shine.
happens every year
Exactly. People don't even realize the ability to hype him was because of bias against "regular" size Asians hooping. He did benefit from it, but the shock factor showed the bias he dealt with his whole career.

So it was TRUE Melo was the reason the Knicks got rid of Jeremy Lin

Is melo responsible for the rest of his career too?
