Lin-Sanity sweeps the nation, except for Jason Whitlock and Floyd Mayweather

I wanted to bring him. Jeremy -- into the conversation because there room the next play again. Here tonight and looks like Carmelo Anthony -- will play in this game to be the first game he gets to actually. Play with Jeremy -- you're starting point guard we talked yesterday about Jason whitlock and -- I'm sure seemed comments by boxer Floyd Mayweather. Would Ramiro yeah Floyd Mayweather which does not surprise me. On the team it was which scene in dumber stuff on Mayweather -- years adjournment is a good player but all hype is because he's Asian. Like players do what he does every night and don't get the same rates. Well that's not really true and I heard you guys get into this a little bit today on not really true it's not for the stature to head thinking is that true. And aunt -- for all he's he's the first player. For those people -- don't know forget about you know his stuff ethnic background he is the first employer. Any color any ethnic group. In league history to have at least twenty points seven assists in each of his first four career starts. But don't but don't forget about his ethnic background it's a part of this it is part of -- the -- huge it's a huge part of the story. It's why. Viewership in China is up by 36%. Since -- as separate issues. But no but it's it's not separate what -- OK let's do this let's do it I don't have a problem -- that to say -- from saint. Jeremy Lance race. His ethnicity. Is a part of his story. It's an embrace the ball part of this absolute it's a beautiful part of the -- early and I agree with his knowledge no let's do this then let's separate it. And say that it happened to be a black player. Okay at which -- is what 727374%. The players -- right I'm OK I want to start it up to let's say. Was a black players Mayweather is is referring to here for -- to the Dennis Rodman. Our line toward Larry Bird and yeah I was embraced. You know if if it if he -- black it would just Debian another player not to play referendum to be one of the greatest game. But let's -- if this were a black player who went out in in the first four games he played at least twenty points seven assistant in the first of his four starts. That he went to Harvard that doesn't have anybody in the league playing that great to Harvard. That was not drafted that was cut by two teams the next wanna cut him for a third that the two best players on the knicks. The largest media city in the United States Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire did not quite in those games. And that team had a five game winning streak. I am telling you this would be a big story add to that that he dropped 38. Points many of them on Kobe Bryant and the lakers. I am telling you this would still be a big story everything you do.

Just -- and -- a big story you'll be a big story does not has been. Not as being this scared. Is the first Asian American. Player in the National Basketball Association. Born here. Speaks English. Okay people's asset and early today people won't buy ya may have a diskette yummy I was -- data I write Chinese. He's -- first. So if you're talking about the if you talk about the first and you're talking about the performance I'm with -- he can't be the first. And be at the end of the bench which you're you're the first. Guy in the league to fit a certain profile can't you come -- ball. I mean. Of course of course is gonna makes a big big story now at the.

Asian American candidate is is great for the league because as you know. When -- retired they probably lost close to a billion dollars in in marketing overseas now whether. He translates into that overseas remains to be seen but he's off to a terrific start the value of Madison Square Garden has gone up tremendously the the parent company. There's a lot of things happening off of what this kid but I think I still think Michael. That if he turned out to be. Some black kid from from Kansas or a white kid from Philadelphia. That we would be sitting here talking about this as an amazing story this is not like this is.

We went crazy not to this degree this degree and and let -- do it as I'm not right I'm not. And I'm not upset about it I think. This is this is the point that -- Floyd Mayweather miss many points but this is the major point that he missed. Jeremy -- and enhances. Italy where you can when you have. Somebody in the league that you've never seen before you have the first Asian American and basketball. And the National Basketball Association that helps the league just as. You know Peja Stojakovic and Dirk Nowitzki helped the league and our beat his opponents back in the day and draws and Patrick. All of these guys we hadn't seen them in the seventy's I didn't CM and early eighties but when grit than ninety's. In early two thousands these guys international players coming into the -- just added another dimension and -- also was active as. Really a not that they were ambassadors to basketball. But it really was a good sign for. For the the global stage of the game you've got people playing this game at such a high level all over the world. So any other thing is. Jeremy let the celebration of Jeremy -- has taken away the accomplishment of what black player play Maryland Mayweather. Who should be getting credit right now. It's not getting credit because Jeremy lamb has taken a -- I almost and it may affect your.

Am pretty upsetting arson and I said at -- at the top Mayweather news is an embarrassment we remembered. You know profanity. Laced the -- almost all of Pacquiao have you had a -- dollars in Tokyo. On who by the way if you don't know was Filipino he says Jamaica. Some sushi rolls and come at a price we're gonna call him with some cats and dogs -- hit it gets to understand. Superstar status source. And it's in the store at a -- Roberts Jason whitlock yesterday because of his previous writings. And to me he he he was totally hypocritical for for -- this is part of what you get with.

Yeah and also. And we killing kind of point out the obvious. If the league is predominantly black. And ESPN ABC has a contract. With the National Basketball Association. You have these shows you have all -- studio shows. Pregame shows post game shows the game of the week. Games on ESPN games on TNT.

You that's actually celebrating. -- every day of the way that not just Black History Month -- call -- celebrating black players maybe they're always getting credit. He may be upset that -- real -- I think we should have waited until March to actually do this. Fabric are. Are you didn't I don't.

Another one -- I'm ready to throw this one out of the table and I know it's only been five games and it only has to do it over a few more games. But if he continues to do this. This is a bigger story. Then Tim Tebow and I -- your -- it's a bigger story because. Tebow didn't com. From nothing he was a Heisman Trophy -- he was a first round draft. There were many people many NFL teams that felt that he was going to be a big time performer or you would have been fight again in the first round the camera. I -- had great success in college and great success at a football factory so much so that he won the Heisman this kid went to heart. He didn't even when the player of the year in his own leak. He ended up. Getting called up and and an opportunity would both Golden State Houston and then eventually the knicks the knicks were two weeks before. We're going to -- but had an injury to a player so they had to keep them around. If he continues. To play at a high level specially doing it in New York. And able to find a way of bringing Carmelo Anthony Amare Stoudemire Chandler in this team together a team that at this point. Had been underperform. It will be a bigger story. Than Tim Tebow because this kid came out of nowhere. Near Obama takes -- back where it six. You know every point.

After yeah -- a fair point two time national champion Heisman Trophy winner first round pick. And as you said one of the for readily one of the top 510 programs in the country. Especially when he was there compared to. Harvard athletics. Now Harvard take athletics out of it. Jeremy -- has an advantage over. You know 90% of the people. In the country with there with their resources and with that pedigree Harvard pedigree he's far from an underdog but if you make him Harvard -- he's an underdog undrafted. Three times almost almost cut three times cut twice I give it out and then and then and then becomes the starter in the -- even if he's got -- start -- it becomes a top seven top -- player currently. It's still a tremendous.

I'll give it -- don't. In the first five games he's played here. His numbers have been much better then he -- numbers if you wanna compare him in that I don't terms for -- I don't wanna continue the comparison because I'm okay. -- And by the way Tebow had to today. A Republican and tells you hate to help tell and tell the world that he was not dating our Katy Perry. There's apparently at the onset of autism people out that you can't bring girl who's got the different colored hair and a lot of things that says I think there's -- maybe there is a woman's life who who Watson watched that he had -- but they're not -- because the difference was Tebow had and his team. Was more responsible for the victories he obviously came up with a big play and there are big series that the yen. Not in -- case with no Carmelo Anthony would -- Amare Stoudemire she's been the reason they have one.

Well in both cases in the both in both cases the teams were pretty much dismissed. And those guys gotten there and made those teams relevant and and got people talking about a -- so I think they're similar network by the way the third round pick which you know in the third round pick for Randy Moss who. Became. Brian Moehler. Patriots -- back to back their routers. One from the Texans -- from the vikings Texans Steven Ridley. Vikings' Ryan mallet.
