A new ice cream flavor quickly "created" to cash in on the newest sports dead-beaten horse just reminds us that the ultimate goal all the powers that be is to distract us from this sad-sack world and fallen country, and make a profit at the same time. Play really good in 8 games and get your own ice cream flavor? I got good grades for a few consecutive years... can I have a free frozen yogurt please? | ||

Yes, Lin enjoy increased attention because he is asian, but it is also possible one of the reasons why he was unrecognized for so long was because he was asian as well. Racism in America is all about double standards. It's infuriating sometimes. | ||

Racism in America is all about double standards. It's infuriating sometimes. Well, the media, too careful with their steps to begin with, tend to "out-think" themselves. And thus commit the sin they were set on avoiding. They're like, "Oops, no one cared about this guy? Was it because he has no meaningful history? Oh shit, he's asian too? Are we all racist? Quick, let's milk this fucker alive and absolve ourselves!" That's one of the elements anyway. "Chink in the armor..." Fortune cookie ice cream. Someone always fucks up. Guaranteed. | ||

They should have just asked Jeremy Lin what his favorite combination of "actual" ice cream flavors/ toppings are, and then just released it as Jeremy Lin's Official Ice Cream Combination (or whatever). | ||

some impressive speed/agility figures from Lin when he was at a combine in Porstmouth. AVERAGE SPEED Jeremy Lin: 16.66 mph Derrick Rose: 16.60 mph John Wall: 16.48 mph Kyrie Irving: 15.67 mph Lin wins this battle. START SPEED Lin: 13.93 mph Wall: 13.25 mph Irving: 12.64 mph For Rose, BAM has only average speed data. Lin wins this battle too. TOP SPEED Lin: 18.85 mph Wall: 19.30 mph Irving: 18.74 mph Lin comes in second to Wall. This dude is fast as hell. He looked good last night too. Nice to see the Miami game didn't kill his confidence. | ||

Maybe he means the double standard of Lin having an ice cream and not Kobe? Which is a fair argument, but you still don't use something dumb like fortune cookies. | ||

The perceived double standard is only due to your flawed conclusion that fortune cookies and Asian Americans are linked interchangeably. The thing is that most Asians or Asian Americans don't even eat fortune cookies and consider them a silly superstition and marketing tool. More importantly, people hate being stereotyped, especially being associated to something like a fortune cookie. | ||

he'll still have some good games, but bad to mediocre games are going to become more common for him especially if the refs don't give him calls when he drives into the paint which is what has been happening lately as linsanity has been dieing down I honestly think there is more pressure on Lin now that Melo and A'mare are back in the lineup. Expectations were low when it was Lin and Friends and they were on their run. With Melo and A'mare back, expectations are much higher since the Knicks are back in the playoff picture and how the Knicks look as a team on paper. I wouldn't be surprised as the season moves along that Baron and Lin's minutes become more and more equal and Baron eventually becomes the starter assuming his back gets to 100% especially if the Knicks don't collapse and are in the playoff hunt. Lin just fits better with the makeup of the second unit + Chandler and he'll probably face less defensive pressure against the other team's bench. also, D'antoni sucks at defensive game planning. | ||

What the knicks need to stop doing is running iso's for melo, give it to him on the low post or get him in pick and rolls, melo is doing terrible in iso situatinos this season | ||
