No one finds it a little racist that he's not getting all the attention because he is a good player, he's getting attention because he's asian....I know their aren't a lot of asians in the nba but if Lin was a black dude he wouldn't even being getting the respect and attention Lin is.

I think it's also that he's living on his brother's couch. Went to Harvard and has been in the D league because they didn't think he was good enough. Was undrafted and has a strong personality not often seen with pro asian athletes in NA. Now, he has a good couple of games and people are saying 'thank jeebas, the Knicks have a PG'. It's blown up even more because it is hitting huge markets, NY and asians. We will see what he can do when the lineup is healthy, will he be able to move the ball or will Melo just play catch and shoot again?
To be fair, I think NY is just hurting to get a good team that they would take anyone who can play, no matter the race. Give them some swagger and a few wins and they'll love you forever, until you make a mistake. Then it's, 'I told you he couldn't play'. Next.
