And they keep saying Lin is "deceptively" quick. What's deceptive about it? His SKIN COLOR, YOU RACISTS??!!

 

[Rukas]

this girl on facebook said if lin can do it, anything is possible. how stupid is that? he's not handicapped. is it cause he's asian? i doubt it, since she gets fucked by asians.

Well she probably knows how small a dicks they have and therefore how hard it is for them to keep balance, which of course is required for the sport.

Surely.

I kid I kid.

Rofl @ Floyd Mayweather saying only reason people going nutty about Lin is because he's Asian, and Black ballers have been doing the same shit for years. Yeah, cause undrafted, Harvard grads generally carry a team through 5 games while the star players are injured all the time. Yes Floyd - sure. You just keep evading Manny Pacquiao.

 

[roaches]

Floyd's a heel, he's just playing his role.

 

[S O F I]

Race is a factor. Asians suck at basketball at the professional level. When you combine that fact with a) going to Harvard b) being an undrafted player c) getting cut multiple times d) being a jesus freak e) killing it when given the chance, you have a cinderella story like no other. You must be retarded to think that a Black guy would get the same social media and mainstream media coverage. No fucking way.

 

[hizzle?]

I thought that any black Harvard grad would get major media coverage as they barely finish high school.

teee heeee

 

[S O F I]

Also, not hard to get into Harvard. I know plenty who got in and most decided not to attend. They love minorities too.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

I saw a fan holding a sign saying "The Yellow Mamba" .......... hmmm. lol

Some sort of normalcy back in New York now? The haters will be out for sure with their 'I told you so'.

Nah. I didn't think they were gonna win out. Good thing I didn't go to the game. I had planned to.

Lin with the turnovers, Jesus. Gotta get that under control.

 

[Ristol]

What the FUCK is canada?? Never heard of her.

 

[Rukas]

Asian or not, Lin has done things NO other player of any race has. He'd have gotten attention regardless.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Like 9 TO's which is the record this season

I like Lin a lot though, He's got me interested in the NBA season again.

 

[hizzle?]

9 TOs under Mike D'antoni is nothing surprising.

 

[Kobe]

Is is true that A.I is broke?

McGill tops on continent: global survey​

McGill University is the cream of Canadian schools, the best public university in North America and ranks 12th among the world's top 200 universities, according to a prestigious global survey.​

BY THE GAZETTE (MONTREAL) ​

McGill University is the cream of Canadian schools, the best public university in North America and ranks 12th among the world's top 200 universities, according to a prestigious global survey.​

Made public today, the Times Higher Education Supplement has McGill bounding up from last year's 21st place showing based on such factors as emphasis on science programs, the strong contingent of international students and faculty, student/faculty ratios, and publications by faculty and graduate researchers. Harvard placed first on the list, while Oxford, Cambridge and Yale tied for second spot.​

The report puts McGill ahead of such research-intensive powerhouses as Duke, Johns Hopkins, Stanford and Cornell. Findings are based on a combination of facts and opinions, with more than 5,000 academics around the world invited to rate a given institution. A key change in methodology this year made it impossible for professors to rate their own school.​

"I'm really thrilled," said McGill principal Heather Munroe-Blum, who sees the results as a vindication of McGill's disciplined approach to academic planning, targeted hiring of 800 new professors and efforts to enhance research and the undergraduate experience.​

McGill is the only Canadian school to have placed in the top 25 since the Times of London launched the THES-QS World University rankings in 2004, although 10 other Canadian schools have clawed their way into the world's top 200. Université de Montréal also saw a dramatic improvement, climbing from 181st last year to 108, while the University of Toronto slipped from 27th last year to 45th overall.​

Other Canadian campuses that made the grade are University of British Columbia (33), Queen's (88), University of Alberta (97), McMaster (108), Waterloo (112), University of Western Ontario (126), Simon Fraser (139) and University of Calgary (166).​

Munroe-Blum credits initiatives by the Canadian and Quebec governments, like the Canada Research Chair program, with helping universities raise their profile on the world stage.​

She dismissed the notion that McGill's strong ranking could backfire, prompting Quebec to assume it doesn't need any more money. Yes, it's encouraging to see McGill's ability to "punch above its weight," she said, but imagine what it could do if it weren't struggling to keep pace with well-heeled schools in the United States, Europe and Australia.​
