With that said, Floyd needs to shut his mouth. Nobody wants to hear his opinion of Jeremy Lin and there's no need for him to point it out as if the issue sticks out like a sore thumg (Which it doesn't) and for him to accuse him of steroids is classless.

Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise

OK Mayweather. Name those players that have gone undrafted and waived and then went on to do what Lin has done in his 1st 4 starts.

But hell, I'm starting to wonder if it's also his name is a pun magnet. Knicks Facebook is talking about "VaLINtine's Day" — it's a perfect PR storm.

Don't expect poignant commentary from a guy who taunts his Mexican opponents by wearing a sombrero.

Floyd is loud mouth for sure. His comments about Lin are stupid as hell. But he's the best fighter in the game bar none. He's not running from Pac. Pac's promoter doesnt want him to fight Floyd because he can't beat him and when he loses, the monney train is over. There are no more fights for Pac after a FLoyd fight. Pacs promoter wants every fight he can get b4 he fights Floyd.

But why would anyone care about Floyd's misguided black nationalism.

"Dude, you messin' with my buzz..."

Busy talking about how only black players like Spree get creamed for complaining about money...

His is a New York story.

The inscription is right there on The Statue Of Liberty, for all to see...

"Give me your tired, huddled ballers from Californis, yearning to run with Amar'e"

Word, the city of plucky upstarts, second chances, redemption, and glory. Melo got the love, Amar'e got the love, Shump, Lin, Fields, Camby & Spree before him... hell, Jonathan Bender for a game or two! If you bring the goods, we'll throw you on our shoulders for giving us it all... we respect hard workers who can perform under pressure 'cause pressure is what this city is built on!
