Apparently Jeremy Lin’s TIME magazine cover is causing a little bit of controversy since he’s only have five games and other notable basketball stars have never had this cover.
Reports The Life Files via Forbes:
Yes, Jeremy Lin after starting a grand total of five games for the New York Knicks made the cover of Time.
Kobe Bryant has never been on the cover of Time. Same goes for Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning and just about every other active athlete in professional sports today. LeBron James made the cover as part of Time’s preview of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. The Olympics are one of the only times that Time puts a sports subject on the cover with Bode Miller, Michael Johnson (twice) and Carl Lewis making the cut.
Congratulations Jeremy. You have now made the cover of Time the same number of times as Michael Jordan. Linsanity reigns on.
And now…
This is EbenGregory.com…telling you they’re covering Lin because in 7 games he became a bridge connecting the East to the West. His presence is the catalyst that will and might share the NBA experience to 2 billion (estimate) people in Asia. That is all.
Lets not forget he is a harvard grad with a 4.0 gpa. He also did his thing while the supposed best players rode the bench. I havent cared about the knicks since starks & ewing left. jeremy lin changes that all.
to a man who claims to speaks fluent sarcasm… nothing even god alive in front will change his mind. in a way he too, is god’s way of play. let’s chill.
Stop the hate child!
The “catalyst” ? Jeremy Lin is a good player and even better story for the NBA but he’s hardly the 1st person of Asian decent to play or star in the NBA.
Somewhere Yao Ming is saying UM HELLO REMEMBER ME
I agree Ebengregory….But you dont hear me tho
Society is filled with a bunch of cry babies. Even when people get mega successful they still cannot accept anyone else success.
Lin is good and Linsanity is great for the NBA and all but Time magazine?! Knickerbocker please!
