re: Mayweather weighs in on Jeremy Lin

Of course his ethnicity is a story. However, if any other point guard burst onto the scene in New York of all places, for a franchise that has been down for so long, with such an illustrious history, it would still be a huge story. NY's on a 5 game winning streak? 6? Anyways, thats nuts for them. Especially considering they're without their two best players. I think it is a big story whether or not he is Asian. However, the Chinese angle is one that is of course going to get a lot of play as that is so easy an angle to use.

Is he the next Steve Nash? Heck no, I doubt he'll be able to keep up the torrid pace he has set. However, I think he'll be a decent player, and certainly a contributor in New York. Good for him, great story for the NBA, and a great moment of pride for the Asian community.
