Mark Cuban shares his thoughts on Jeremy Lin

“If it was happening in Charlotte, no one would know......New York is still kind of the mecca of the media for basketball,” Cuban added. “It’s great for the league, so you’ve got to love it. And Jeremy Lin is a great kid, so I’m happy for him........Whenever an underdog comes out of nowhere and doesn’t fit a particular profile … everybody profiles athletes, right? So to have him come in and be counter to everybody’s profile or expectations — right or wrong — draws attention and that’s good. Hopefully, that will encourage other kids and even more diversity with kids who play basketball.”
