標題為：林書豪已是傳奇？事實揭開吹捧真相

原文為英文，我大致翻譯一下吧

作者認為林現在很紅不是因為他的表現，而是因為他的黃種皮膚和基督教信仰，這些在美

國白人中間引起關注

作者預測他可能2個月後變成曇花一現的NBA後衛。

Jeremy Lin Already a Legend? Reality Checking the Hype

Feb 11, 2012 6:44 PM EST Jeremy Lin’s incredible four-game performance has
already branded him an NBA legend. But Buzz Bissinger says four games do not
 a brilliant career make.

 In the increasing engorgement of the celebrity culture in which we are stuf
fing ourselves to death, enter Jeremy Lin, the New York Knicks’ 6-foot-3 po
int guard who, on the basis of his performance in four games, has become the
 National Basketball Association’s best player in history.

 Linmania. Linsanity. Linsational. Linitless. If you watch ESPN SportsCenter
 or listen to sports talk radio or read last week’s front-page story and si
debar in The New York Times, there is no contest. Better than Michael Jordan
? Of course. Better than Wilt and Kobe and Shaq and LeBron? They shouldn’t
even be playing on the same court with Sir Lincelot.

Those last four games have been great—25 points off the bench against the N
ets, then 28 as a starter against the Utah Jazz, 23 against the Washington W
izards, and 38 against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. He has come out of
nowhere. He is exciting when he bobs and weaves to the hoop with explosive s
peed. He has Horatio Alger and Chip Hilton written all over him given that h
e came from the basketball wasteland of Harvard—the school hasn’t produced
 an NBA player since 1954—and wasn’t even drafted.

But four games do not a career make, no matter how much The New York Times a
nd everyone else gush over the 23-year-old Lin, who is Asian-American. He is
 quick and fearless to the hoop, but the more he plays and gets attention, t
he more all-too-lethargic NBA players will be gunning for him because the on
ly thing that gets them excited is watching someone else steal the limelight
. He has no outside shot (yes, I know, he made two three-pointers Friday nig
ht against the Lakers, but so can some schlump picked out of the crowd at ha
lftime to win a restaurant coupon to Applebee’s).

Somebody has to be the party pooper, so let’s cut right to the poop:

Because he plays for the hapless Knicks, lousy at whatever they try to do, a
ny unknown player who goes on a tear and actually seems to enjoy the game of
 basketball while doing it is going to be hyped beyond all rationality.

And sorry, because people hate to hear the cold truth, but there is a factor
 of race: if he were African-American, would there be the same type of hyste
ria—oops, I’m sorry—Linsteria? Nope. He would be perceived as a potential
ly very promising black player, but because of the eternal and wrongheaded a
ssumption that all professional black athletes are naturally gifted, there w
ould be none of the linsteria.

For the past 20 years, the NBA brass and fans have been craving a Great Hope
, and Lin has become the latest candidate.

Because Lin is not black and not from Europe with a thick foreign accent, he
 fits a pervasive stereotype much closer to a white player than “the great
yellow hope” pablum that too many writers and bloggers are trying to pedal.
 It is no mistake that he is being compared with the Denver Broncos’ quarte
rback Tim Tebow. Both are Christian. Both hold deep religious convictions an
d pray after games. Both sustain the belief of fans that professional athlet
es who are not African-American succeed because of hard work, struggling thr
ough adversity, and basically overcoming their physical deficits with nonsto
p determination. It is stupid, but so is life.

For the past 20 years, the NBA brass and fans have been craving a Great Hope
, and Lin has become the latest candidate. Yes, he is Asian-American, and hi
s ethnicity should not be mitigated. From what he said in an interview with
Time, he took his share of shocking racial abuse when he played opposing Ivy
 League teams.

But I don’t think fans are going wild over him now because of his breaking
the Asian-American pro-basketball barrier. They like him because he is talen
ted and exciting, at least so far. They also like him because he is light-co
mplected and in his Christian beliefs and prayer penchant, does echo much of
 white America.

As for being the best player in NBA history on the basis of four games, call
 me cynical but it seems a little much, although a ticker-tape parade down F
ifth is probably in the works as we speak. He is already being declared one
of the greatest undrafted free agents in history, but is he really in a cate
gory with other undrafted players such as Ben Wallace and John Starks?

Of course not. Those players had careers, not radar blips.

Lin did have a very good basketball life at Harvard, even though much of it
came against the likes of Dartmouth and Brown and Columbia. In a game agains
t perennially nationally ranked University of Connecticut as a senior, he sc
ored 30 points and earned high praise from coach Jim Calhoun, who said of hi
m, “I’ve seen a lot of teams come through here and he could play for any o
f them.”
