Having dropped 11 of their last 13 games, coach Mike D'Antoni and his Knicks were in dire need of a spark. He went to his bench and called on Lin, the third-string point guard, with just over 3 minutes remaining in the first quarter. What followed was a masterful performance that included two successful charges down the lane against the Nets' Deron Williams.

It has been a trying road for Lin. He was released by the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets before landing in New York, where he largely rode the bench. Lin was under-recruited in college and had to settle on Harvard after being passed up for scholarships from Cal, UCLA and Stanford. A Taiwanese-American, Lin has told alarming tales of discrimination at the collegiate level, having to endure racist taunts from opposing team's fans, including fans from Ivy League schools.

With Yao Ming's departure from the league, can Jeremy Lin rise to be the prominent Asian — better yet, Taiwanese American — force in the NBA?

i'm from taiwan.

i felt so shame after watching this..

Just let Lin play the basketball and we enjoy it.

Chinese do not hate Taiwanese. In fact, many people in both nations are literally from the same family due to historical events. People in US should study some China-Taiwan history instead of relying on US media coverage. I hope this comment makes it to the top so people will understand.

He's a PG. He is not undersized for a PG.

[KagakuGakusei]

Its the nba, 6'3 is not that big he just gets pushed around. Dumbass.

Here's my point of view from someone who was also raised in America. I'd be annoyed if people identified me as taiwanese or mainland chinese. I'm American first, Chinese-American second, and Chinese third. Sorry so say but we are completely and absolutely different culturally from people in taiwan or china.

Fucking jeremy lin can barely speak mandarin for christs sake.

But Taiwanese hate Chinese, Chinese don't treat Taiwanese good, and always threaten by force

[99bullshart99]

this is just fuckin stupid...

[striike22]

He wasn't overlooked just because he was Asian. He had and still has some flaws in his game, like ball security. If he were that good coming out of college, he would've been drafted. He's worked hard to get where he is but the notion that he overcame some racial barrier is stupid.

wtf is this?

[gwmkwan]

not really... Hong Kong is part of China after 1997

Taiwan independent from China after the democrat party was over thrown by the communist
