This guy nicedude is just arguing to argue. You don't get it. Never will. I still stand by saying it's okay to compare this guy to Jackie Robinson because only an idiot and someone looking to get mad would take that comparison at face value and not realize what is actually being said.
Acidicality definitely speaks for most, if not all, Asian-Americans who have an interest in basketball. You're a fool or don't know Asian people if you don't get what angle he is coming from. Maybe both.
Like Acid, it doesn't matter if this guy gets 1 minute of playing time. Lin making it this far is already such a big thing for that community. I don't get why people are discrediting the story. I don't get what there is to discredit unless you just hate that this guy is getting any shine.
Another comparison. This is like the Myron Rolle hype. Is he going to be a good NFL player? By most accounts, no. But why he is hyped and respected? Because he is a tremendous scholar and that is completely uncommon in sports. Is he the first athlete to be awarded the Rhodes Scholarship? No, Bill Bradley, who was a bigger name and better player in his sport, also received one. Does that discount all the hype surrounding Rolle? I'm going to let you answer that one.
