Jason Whitlock apologizes for his unfunny Jeremy Lin comment on Twitter

[JonLP24]

You're an NBA fan. Dissatisfied with the typical online outlets, you're coming to an NBA-obsessive blog on a Monday to read more than what the more orthodox NBA media outlets are giving you. You search and you scour for takes and columns and tweets and video and you'll do it all again come Tuesday morning. Tell me, have you ever read a Jason Whitlock column on the NBA? Do you even think to go to him when NBA news breaks?

Jason Whitlock knows this. He's also an unfunny boor with a massive ego, and the combination of those factors plus his NBA irrelevancy leads to Twitter comments like this, in the wake of Jeremy Lin's brilliant 38-point performance against the Lakers on Friday night:

Some lucky lady in NYC is gonna feel a couple inches of pain tonight.

There are funny jokes, and then there are unfunny jokes that mix with needless racial stereotyping and the laziness that comes from not even bothering to look up the fact that the Knicks would be flying to Minneapolis directly after Friday's game.

1. That's pretty bad...

Amazes what some people think is funny or appropriate.

2. THIS MAN is mocking someone's alleged physical traits?

3. He should be fired

4. Shows what Whitlock knows

Lin is a Teblow-style fundie who is presumably saving himself, and his, uh, attributes, for marriage.
