   Prior to the Knicks vs Nets game, Lopez wasnt able to play due to unspecified reason after playing against the Bucks, while Baron Davis had played his first game wearing New York Knicks jersey and was able to score 3 points in less than 10 minutes. 

   Brook Lopez who suffered from broken right foot since the Season started had nine points and two rebounds in less than 22 minutes agains the bucks last saturday. Upon Lopez activation from the injured list, Jordan Farmar will unlikely be out until the All-Star break due to groin injury who averages career high 10.5 points this season.

ESPN racist headliner against Jeremy Lin

    The photo above was an actual ESPN headliner last Friday where Jeremy Lin had a career high 9 turnovers with a loss against the New Orleans Hornets and broke the New York Knicks winning streak to 7. 

    The column was written by Jason Whitlock with a title of "Chink In the Armor" were the word chink refers to the Asian which was seen by many as an Ethnic slur.  

    ESPN issued a statement regarding the racial title and express their dissatisfaction about the issue.  "The headline was removed [35 minutes after it appeared]. We are conducting a complete review of our cross-platform editorial procedures and are determining appropriate disciplinary action to ensure this does not happen again. We regret and apologize for this mistake."

    Though Jeremy Lin was not really concerned about the issue But some of the Asian society and Jeremy Lin supporters had caused a flurry of hate comments from different Social Networking sites to show their sentiments about the topic. 

    I as a blogger, one of the most crucial part of writing is the Title or should i say the Caption. I respect ESPN whole through out their career as they are well known and respected per Sports News is concerned. But throwing a racial slur on their headlines is somewhat a pathetic move specially to a Rising Star who actually represents a great percentage of Humanity.
