1. Dangerous Dean Posted: April 21, 2012 at 11:49 AM (#4112120)If so, can we retroactively re-name "The Decision" as "Operation Dumbo Drop"?
The entire premise of the article is inane. Lin's story doesn't tell us that many players' talents are massively underrated by the NBA talent scouts; it tells us that Lin's talents were underrated. As an Asian-American from an Ivy League school, he's been fighting two strong stereotypes throughout his professional career, and those stereotypes undoubtedly hurt his chances of being taken seriously as an upper-tier talent. Lin is an outlier in the overall pool of scouting evaluations, not an example of a larger pattern of incompetent scouting. That's not to say that scouts don't make mistakes, or even that scouts don't make a lot of mistakes. But Lin, by himself, doesn't prove that point.
I haven't read the article and won't, but based on the excerpt, I would disagree.
