Floyd Mayweather Jr. says Jeremy Lin is getting attention because he’s Asian

Found February 13, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jeremy Lin,  Manny Pacquiao,  Floyd Mayweather Jr.
TEAMS: New York Knicks

Jeremy Lin is a bit of a mystery. How a kid from Harvard who was cut twice by NBA teams has become one of the league’s best players is truly baffling. All of us are confused about it in a way, but we certainly know why he has gotten so much attention. For starters, he was riding the bench for the Knicks a little more than a week ago. Now all of a sudden he has sparked their revival. The always outspoken Floyd Mayweather Jr. has a theory about why we can’t turn on the TV without hearing the name Jeremy Lin.

Normally I would say that’s inappropriate, but it’s so typical of Floyd that I have no emotions about it. If you told me somebody said the previous quote and gave me three tries to guess who it was, he would have been one of my three guesses. He should do us all a favor and stick to calling out Manny Pacquiao.
