Being able to admit when you are wrong is the foundation of knowledge. The only way you can learn something is to admit and understand that you were incorrect or unaware.

“why so serious?”
I had just finished watching NCIS hence the Gibbs rule reference. I was kidding. Wanted to lighten the mood as i thought the thread actually provided some lulz.
I totally agree with your statement though.

You will soon realize from my posts that I am extremely serious and rarely make jokes, but in the meantime HERE’S SOME TITTIES!!!
Apparently, statistical models have predicted Jeremy Lin’s success before the draft. Recruiting scouts for sports teams is really becoming an outdated profession. I predict in a few years, much of the drafting will be decided based on data analysis. The man deserved to be a first round draft and was overlooked due to racism.
That said, I was not a fan of Jeremy Lin from the start, despite being an Asian male. Every time I talk to a friend or log onto Facebook, there are people jacking off on Jeremy Lin; this was before he started doing well. I thought they were some losers hyping up a player just because he was Asian. This one douchebag make a huge deal about how he was “Taiwanese” not “Chinese” when nobody gives a fuck. Same culture, same genetics, same language, just different politics.
Even though this guy was unfairly overlooked and happen to share my race, I still have no reason to support him. I do not believe in his pseudo-humble antics placing all the credit on “God”. Man needs to become more like Arnold: just admit that you worked hard to get there and you had some intrinsic talent. Be proud of it, publicize it, leverage it to get more money and more pussy. Seems like he didn’t learn any of the skills and pick up on the air of arrogance at Harvard. Too much of a Christian conservative and too passive and boring for me to support. Needs to become a bit more crazy like Frank Yang.

What kind of lame-ass motherfucker would bag on an excellent basketball player because he’s a Christian conservative and gives credit to God?
An utterly worthless T-Nation squirt would, I reckon.[/quote]
He’s a douchebag for believe that God somehow favors him over the losing team, who probably prayed just has hard. Being Christian has 0 correlation with good basketball skills, so he needs to tone that shit down.
Frank Yang is Jeremy Lin…you just dont know it yet. Yang wins again he offended you in yet another way…

LOL. You don’t know me. Let’s just say that I go to a rival school of Lin’s and knows people who were in some of Lin’s classes. I’ve won some prestigious awards that I’d prefer not to disclose for privacy reasons. I’ve also founded a few companies on the side…and I’m still not 20 yet… There’s a great probability that my net worth would exceed Lin’s one day.
You’re a respectable old dude, but please try not to make judgments about others with different opinions. Sure Christian conservatives can do great things, but I prefer not to support them personally.
No offense taken. I wish you good luck on your journey through life.

Actually, my opinion on Lin wasn’t very clear until I watched Frank’s video. All I knew was that he was some sort of overhyped Asian basketball player.
Overhyped is certainly a term I disagree with, He is accomplishing something that has never been done in NBA history, you cannot be overhyped when you make this kind of mark. This is a kid that came from an area in California that produces very few Division 1 college talent, he came from a college that is a second thought when talking about the main sports of America. Cut twice, sent to the D league already this year almost traded for a career scrub this guy is not overhyped. Can the media machine somehow make a great story such as this and turn into something neaseating…sure, but that isnt his fault.
He has handled this situation with class and candor, FTR I am not a fan of athletes thanking God after their triumphs either, however I cannot see how you can look at this underdog of an athlete and have dislike.
Hate the game but not the player.
Your my boy J-Lin!

That’s scary. Allowing this lunatic to impact anything related to your judgment is a disaster in the making.

I don’t think he was overlooked because he is Asian, I think he was overlooked because he played at Harvard and in the Ivy League.
I don’t like hearing about how white wide recievers and the like are overlooked in sports because of racism.
It is a clear inarguable fact that African Americans dominate athletic sports and positions. To assume that someone that is not African American may not fill that role as well as an African American person would is not racism, it is following facts.
A person’s inherent athletic ability and talent has nothing to do with society or upbringing, unlike a person’s development of intelligence, values, and or overall character which can be greatly effected by where you grow up and who your family and friends are.
Sports has and always will be the ultimate level playing field, if you can play, you can play, doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, or what you look like, but I’m sorry even if you are putting up numbers in the Ivy League nobody is really gonna take notice.
Name one successfull NBA player from an Ivy League school…? That’s what I thought.
I remember when many years ago, in an interview, regarding the lack of starting black quarterbacks in the NFL,
Charles Barkley said that there were lots of “bad” white quarterbacks starting why couldn’t there be som bad black quarterbacks starting in the league.
I agree with the sentiment of his argument.
I think if more white players were given the chance to start at positions dominated by blacks in professional sports, like point guards, cornerbacks, running backs, I think we would “discover” more than a few non-black athletes who would excel at those positions.

Yeah, and go do something useful with it like build a calf raise block or something.
