    Kobe was the best player to guard him tonight but didn't bother, even left Gasol to guard Lin at one point.

    The million $$$ thugs will return and it will be over. Lin is responceable for 1/3 of the 12 wins and 0 of the 15 losses.

    Actually, history would have to disagree with you on that one. It is a racist term.

    The California Gold Rush, ~ the 1850s, had given rise the the first wave of Chinese migration to the Golden Mountains.

    Many of of these Chinese took menial jobs with Railways in California and western states. They faced much hostility / hatred from the Irish American workers who were wary of the influx of Chinese competing for their jobs.

    The Irish hurled many insults at the Chinese. One such insulting terms was "Chinaman" used to demean them as being dishonest (look and dress differently) and stupid (can't speak English). The hatred / distrust of the Chinese led to the eventual passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act in America, which was not repealed until ~ 1950s.

    Today, "Chinaman" conjures up those terrible times of discrimination against Chinese in America (discrimination that was even legalized!)

    I thought this was pretty cool of Kobe too:

    "It's a great story," Kobe Bryant said after Lin outscored him. "It's a testimony to perseverance and hard work."

    Bryant wasn't buying the plot line that Lin had come out of nowhere. "It just means we haven't been paying attention to him. The skill level was probably there all along," he said.

    When a reporter from China asked if he had any suggestions for the first Chinese-American to play in the NBA, Bryant said, "I'm not going to give him any damn suggestions. He almost got 40 points against us."

    Nba.com/china page views up 43% this year. Stern must be hysterical with glee. A shortened season that many had no interest in has now turned into this. Good on Lin... I love stories like this. Gives hope to a lot of people that if you bust your ass and follow your dreams, sometimes it can pay off.

    As far as regular season games, the last time the Garden felt like that was 1994, 1999 doesn't even come close to what I saw last night.
