    Imagine the Culture clash for Jeremy Lin
    I wonder how this guy fits into a NBA locker room. Imagine the hip hop blasting before the game, gun slinging Gilbert Arenas, brothers laughing and joking about how they banged 3 tricks last night and then a Christian 4.0 GPA Harvard Asian Virgin.

    Lin
    Asian
    Virgin
    Christian
    From the West Coast
    From a nerdy middle class area
    Harvard
    4.0 GPA
    Guy already has plans for after the NBA

    Typical NBA player

    Black
    Bangs women in 32 cities every night
    Worships the almighty dollar
    Mostly from the East coast
    Mostly from the ghetto
    Got paid to go to Big East Schools/ACC/SEC schools
    average NBA player had aids do their tests/papers for them, can barley speak english
    No thought in the world a day past tomorrow

    I wonder if his teammates like him, bond with him and joke around with him. How much does he really have in common with Carmelo Anthony or Tyson Chandler? Those guys had totally different paths in life.

      Since you like to keep talking about how dumb NBA players are..... You should realize the difference between BARLEY and BARELY. Barley is a grain, in the grass family, mostly used in cereal. Fukkin goof ball. Calling people stupid

                  Don't know about the original post...but NY needs to look at what's going on. With Melo and Stoud. out, the Knicks are playing team ball...great ball movement, better defense, and guys are stepping up.

                        If there's a culture clash it's that Lin is relatively "poor" and lives on his brother's couch while most of his teammates are insanely rich and live in mansions.

                                It's the truth. I don't know the exact statistic, but I read somewhere that the average NBA player has 2-3 illegitimate children. They are pretty dumb, but football players definitely take the cake.

                                  op is 100% correct.

                                  nba players are about as smart a bag of nails. Can you imagine Kepler taking a shiit? Well, you take that pile of shit and test it for it's IQ.... and the IQ of that pile of Kepler's shit would be twice as high as the average NBA player.

                                  The thing about Chin, though, the guy is probably one of those Chinese Eminem characters. I can't say 'chi******', cuz the PC police will ban me again. I wonder if he talks sideways out of his mouth with all verbs conjugated incorrectly.

                                  But having Chin in the Nba is probably good for business and it's a sort of affirmative action in the NBA ... like throwing token white guys on the nba dream teams of old (minus Larry Bird).

                                  Unfortunately, I think Chin's presence is keeping another guy (read regular, legit NBA guy) out of the league... and putting him most likely in jail. So Chin is actually doing a disservice...

                                    What?

                                    Educated asians live a far different lifestyle than uneducated blacks. Jeremy Lin has gone from being an asian athletic nerd at the greatest university in the world to being a pro basketball player with a bunch of rich black guys who spend millions of dollars on models and bottles. Of course there's going to be a culture shock, he's never been around such men and he's never experienced this lifestyle.

                                    How can you call that racism? It's a fact.

                                              average NBA player had aids do their tests/papers for them, can barley speak english
                                              No thought in the world a day past tomorrow

                                              I wonder if his teammates like him, bond with him and joke around with him. How much does he really have in common with Carmelo Anthony or Tyson Chandler? Those guys had totally different paths in life.


                                              You've got to be kidding me. Yea maybe in the past, but he is an adult male playing KNICKS fkn basketball in New York. And I'm sure the bimbos there do not care about the Knicks 11-15 record. He, along with any of his teammates, can get pussy without even opening their eyes.

                                                Educated asians live a far different lifestyle than uneducated blacks. Jeremy Lin has gone from being an asian athletic nerd at the greatest university in the world to being a pro basketball player with a bunch of rich black guys who spend millions of dollars on models and bottles. Of course there's going to be a culture shock, he's never been around such men and he's never experienced this lifestyle.

                                                How can you call that racism? It's a fact.
                                                It's amazing that you don't see a problem with this statement. What makes you think every black guy on the Knicks is uneducated? Why do you think young black guys hold the same things (ie popping bottles) in high regard when they get money? Did you read the OPs original post? It was full of broad stereotypes.

                                                And FTR its plain ol ignorance, not racism.

                                                      The GPA and SAT scores of black kids playing D1 basketball is quite low. Most of them also come from poor socioeconomic backgrounds -- a group that is also very uneducated. Unless the Knicks black guys somehow bucked that trend, then it's safe to assume that most of them are pretty stupid. Oh yeah, and there's a bunch of statistics about how NBA players have an extremely high divorce and bankruptcy rate after retiring too.

                                                        This basically sums up everything you were saying. Because stereotypes do hold true for a portion of a group it is ok to judge an entire group because there are some within that group that do fall into that category. If you feel that is ok then there isnt much i can really say to you. People will continue to judge off of minimal information and me writing an essay wont change that.

Would it be ignorant or racist to stereotype that an individual who belongs to a group of Jewish Ivy League-educated Wall Street bankers as smart? No. That would be a safe assumption and a probably correct stereotype. Jewish people who graduated from Ivy League colleges and make seven figures per year are usually smart, no?

There's certainly a slim chance that the Knicks players have deviated so far from the mean that they are intellectual equals of Jeremy Lin, but that's not likely in the least.
