So no talk about Jeremy Lin crying racism?

[ThaBoyBam]

You don't think players go extra hard at Lin cuz of the whole Linsanity thing? It gives added motivation no doubt. You'd be foolish to dismiss that.

You can't be serious. This ain't street ball

shytting on A player like Lin ain't getting you no props lol. nikkas ain't going hard against Kyrie, lol. I think making millions motivates these dudes enough.

 

[IGSaint12]

Where did I say anything about "black pressure" or where did I say that black pressure made him airball? Stop putting words in my mouth and stay on track. What Lin said from his own mouth are facts from his own mouth based on his experience. U can't tell him that he is wrong. U can keep saying "GTFOH" all u want, but it won't help u in proving your "point" like I said., your argument/position is all over the place

Do you have reading comprehension? The league is majority black, lin is saying that they are going at him because he is the asian kid. Unless they said directly to lin they are going at him hard because he is asian, then all of this is being created in his mind as an excuse for his poor play thus far. He is complaining about scouting reports that people are gameplanning for him. As I said before how is that race related? Of course teams game plan for who they believe are the best players on the court, that's how competition works. The term I used "black pressure" is because since there were no players close to him for that airballed three he missed, how do you explain that as it pertains to his comments that HE MADE about nba players going at him hard? How do you explain him missing that when no one was even near him?

You are not answering my questions and seem to want to play some infantile game of saying you don't understand the argument that I'm making. Step you reading comprehension game up.

 

[Northern Son]

I hate the phrase "crying racism" (c.ac term to silence minorities) but Lin is definitely delusional. Dude is damn near below average and got himself a $20 mil contract .

He should be thanking racism .

So MJ didn't go hard against Byron Russell because he popped shyt about him?

MJ didn't shyt on NYK cuz Jeff Van Gundy called him a con-artist?

MJ didn't come back with the 23 cuz Nick Anderson popped shyt?



C'mon breh, athlete use any extra motivation to gain an edge. Like I said, you'd be foolish to dismiss this.

Is somethin wrong with u man. Seriously??? Why the fucc do u keep bringin up the gat damn airball Jeremy Lin shot the other day? What the fucc does that have to do with anything? I didn't even bring the airball up because it has nothin to do with my position. Why are u so hellbent on bringin up the gatdamn airball up? Are u slow?


Lin is right when he says that there is an added element to black players comin at him harder because 1. He is asian 2. The notion that many black players feel that he is overhyped and a media creation. Not only has Lin lemented this, but numerous NBA analyst, NBA officianados and NBA reporters have said this.


I don't know if u remeber last year when the heat played the knicks and Mario Chalmers was stealin the ball from Lin over and over and exposed him. Mario Chalmers and Heat players made a point to prove that Lin wasn't as good as potrayed. Lin couldn't even bring it up passed half court without gettin the ball ripped. Lin has said, from all his years of playin basetball, black dudes have came at him harder because he was asian. End of story

 

[Doin2Much Williams]

Lin should have stayed mute on this one...


Blame the knee or something.


He never said "black players" and i'm sure most would be under the impression that its insinuated cuz its predominantly "brotha-land"... but i see how its been concluded as such.


Now he's really gonna be a target. He just fukked up his whole career.


I just hope he's wrong because i'm a huge advocate of the b*stard.


Still early in the season, every team has its woes *coughs* Lake Show *coughs*... there's still room for progression and improvement.


Grasshopper, just stay in the gym and work hard on ya game. That's all.


Everything else will fall into place...


... and let the music play.

[thernbroom]

Told nikkas from jump street dont belive the hype. He should blame the media for hyping his ass up so much. nikkas really wanted this dude in the all-star game after like 4 weeks

 

[Majestic Pape]

bunch of Malcolm X's in here. lemme guess, only blacks can experience the ills of racism, correct?

What the fukk is Lin complaining about though? He has BENEFITTED from being Asian much more than it has hurt him. How many Black athletes can say that?

And who was going extra hard at Lin when they left him wide open for that three attempt against Miami?

What does that heat game have to do with lin being asian though?? The heat came at lin hard because all week all the reporters could do is ask the heat players about linsanity. Do you not think that players of the opposing team would get tired of hearing about some no name player being talked about every single game and come out to test and embarass that person. If you don't think that would of happened to a black player as well then you are delusional. And as I said before how does that pertain to lin being asian?? NBA players are different from players that are on the street or even on the college level that IS THE POINT. NBA players are paid professionals they don't care that lin is asian, just like they didn't care that yao was asian. They go at him hard because they probably believe he is a good player. Something is seriously wrong with your argument, if lin can't bring the ball up court because of the ball pressure other players put on him then he is not good enough. POINT BLANK PERIOD. It has nothing to do with race.

He is complaining about teams GAMEPLANNING for him , is that something not normal? Why should he complain about being gameplanned for and why is he attributing that to the race card? Every all star player is gameplanned for, this is what I'm saying if he is not good enough to handle that type of pressure that every all star player in the league gets then he needs to realize that he is not as good as he thinks he is.

He wasn't making excuses on why he sucked. Lin a ol they're picking on me ass bytch. You don't think these little dudes don't be coming at the stars harder Breh? shytting on Lin will get you not get you props.

Now u are just arguing or just trollin. I already wrote that players went at him harder because he was this new "phenom" seriously man. U are just playin contrarian right now. U are extremely naive to think that not 1 black player didn't want to get embarased by Jeremy Lin because he is asian. U are livin in a fantasy world

Ahh, fukk it. Obviously reading comprehension is not your strong suit . We weren't discussing Lin making excuses. We were discussing extra motivation for others coming at Lin. Of course they wanna shyt on him because of the whole Linsanity thing, like watch how I shyt on him to prove that he was a fluke type deal.

But, carry on tho.

You are the one being naive. Jeremy Lin is crying about not able to handle other teams gameplanning for him. Well that's tough shyt. NBA players have fans and play all over the world and you expect me to believe that every single time they go at him hard it's solely because he's asian? Give me a fukking break as I said before the motivation for a nba player to go hard at a player is not the same as some street ball player who is playing solely for pride. I watch rocket games and I don't see other than not allowing his usual tendencies that they act towards lin any differently than the other players on the team.

As I said before all this is being created in his head to excuse his poor play. He should be skilled enough to rise above it but so far he has not been, that's ok because players slump all the time. But don't go blaming that on players going at him too hard because he is asian.

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

But was that Linn's fault that the media did this though? That's what ESPN does. They milk anything and everything to death if it gets them viewers

not at all but he benefited with an overpriced contract. He could have took a modest contract and stayed in ny with a lot less individual pressure playing with melo, amare, and chandler but he chose an over priced contract with the rockets where before harden got there, was expected to be their #1 guy...now he's wondering why teams have scouting reports and players really want to shut him down? It's because he's the #2 option on the team and got a bigger contract then most drafted guys who've played longer, played just as good and sometimes better, and have less notoriety. He's not a top ten point guard but makes a top ten point guard salary.

U are lost man. There is nothin anybody can say to get thru to u that Lins race plays a part in this entire thing.. question, are u white?
