The 20 Most Ridiculous Jeremy Lin Nicknames on Twitter

Now that the Giants and the hype over their Super Bowl victory is dying down, New Yorkers and basketball fans everywhere are talking about Jeremy Lin. The 23-year-old point guard has averaged 25 points and eight assists while leading the Knicks to a three-game winning streak (who needs STAT and Melo?!). New York has found its latest sports star but one question remains: What the hell do we call this dude? Well, we did some research on Twitter and some suggestions made us hungry while others just disgusted us. From ones that were pretty racist like The Great Fried Rice Hype to the less offensive Super Lintendo, here are the 20 Most Ridiculous Jeremy Lin Nicknames on Twitter.

Racist thought process: He's a good Asian point guard. What other Asian things are on point? Yo, that fried rice I ordered last night was tastier than that girl with the nice ass I saw today. Jeremy Lin, I shall name you the "Great Fried Rice Hype."

Other than being ridiculously racist, a lot of these nicknames for J-Lin just made us want to grab lunch.

Corny? Check. Racially insensitive? No doubt. Forget "never leaving Cali." Dude's thoughts should never leave that dome of his.

C'mon, Spike. We expect some more creativity from the same dude who made classics like She's Gotta Have It, Do the Right Thing, and He Got Game. #tryhardernexttime

Yeah, because associating artillery with schools is hilarious. It's not like a shooting involving an Asian student has happened anytime recently. Oh, wait...

Finally, a simple, racially-accurate alliteration for the Knicks new starting point guard. It's good aside from the whole associating terror with another country thing.

Get it!? The John Wall instead of the Great Wall, because he's burned Wall not once, but twice now! Too bad he was born and raised in America and his parents are from Taiwan.

Do people ever call LeBron James the Floyd Mayweather of basketball? Fuck no, because that shit makes no sense whatsoever. On top of that Pacman is Filipino and Jeremy Lin is Taiwanese. Come correct or don't come at all, fam.

Ahh, one of the biggest Asian stereotypes of all time. Except dude isn't Japanese. FAIL.

This moniker is offensive on two different levels. For starters, comparing Lin to one of the greatest basketball players of all time when he only has two career starts under his belt is ridiculous. Also, this has to be one of the most stereotypical sports nicknames of ever. Words of wisdom: The only time two Ls could mean something positive is if they're in rotation.

This is one of our favorites, partially because we can actually use it without offending somebody, and partially because Super Nintendo is probably the best video game system ever made. But if they're impressed with the Super Lintendo and the Lintendo 64, wait until he pulls out his Wii! Oh, wait ... dammit.

Comparing a skinny Asian-American point guard to a beefy gearhead actor could only happen for one reason: Rhyming interchangeable first names. We're okay with it.

That's right, the first person to get into it with J-Lin on the court will get some of this!

Because murders never go down on Ivy league campuses. Right? Right?!

Man, talk about a throwback. A racist throwback, but a throwback nonetheless. One thing is for sure: Lin has battled throughout his short NBA career and is now slicing through defenders with ease.

Tampa Bay Rays left fielder gets in on the action, shouting out all diabetics in the process. Let's just hope Lin can keep up his hot start, something Fuld was unable to do this past season.

Just picture it: Jeremy Lin strutting out of the tunnel, emerging from a billow of machine-made smoke as Madison Square Garden bobs to "You got to get yours, but fool I gotta get mine, everything is fine when you listening to the L-I-N." Pure perfection.

Tim Tebow is a devoted Christian, apparently is saving himself for marriage, led a crumbling Broncos to the playoffs, and is just the epitome of an all-American golden boy. Jeremy Lin is also a dedicated Christian, had a 4.2 GPA in route to getting his degree at Harvard, stayed in school all four years, and the anemic Knicks have won three in a row since he started getting big minutes. Seems pretty similar to us, but is this guy suggesting that conservatives aren't fond of Asians?

Calling on the oldest racist comment in the book, this girl implies that all Asians are the same and tweets a statement that makes absolutely no sense. Lin was born in California, Yao was born in Shanghai. Yao is a giant and played the center position, Lin is average height and runs the point. C'mon, ma.
