A little Asian American has become the TONY (Talk Of New York). Hes living the American Dream
Many people say its luck, some say its because he's playing sub-par teams and then you have those that believe he just that nice.
Since Feb. 4, Lin has averaged 26.8 points and eight assists on a true shooting percentage of 58 percent. The 13-15 Knicks have won all four games Lin has started. on top of starting those 4 games Carmelo and Stoudemire were out of the line up.
Heat forward LeBron James has been following the Lin-sanity from afar, and has been duly impressed with the adversity Lin has overcome.
"He's playing and they're winning," James said. "I've heard about how he's staying with a friend, and about his getting cut and being a week away from not knowing if he was going to stick with the team, about how (the Knicks) might release him to sign Mike James.
"Then he gets the start against New Jersey and the rest is history. You always want someone to succeed when his back is against the wall. Now his chest is against the wall and he'’s seeing everything coming at him from every angle."
James wishes Lin well -- that is until the Heat faces the Knicks on February 23 in Miami.
"Best of luck to him," James said. "I don't want him to be good when (the Knicks) are playing us, but other than that, good for him.”

Referring to Jeremy Lin as a little Asian-American is insensitive to Asian-American ethnicity. You are tainting this piece of lovely work you put together by adding information that can cause an uproar from the Asian-American community.
ReplyDeletewhat terminology would you suggest i use instead of Asian American?
