So you hate a guy for going through hardship all these years and finally proving himself on the basketball court? What has he done except play hard and expressed gratitude?

You do know everything you hate about him was spewed by the media right? The media hyping up him to be all-time great type of player, the media hyping up the signing and Rockets saying he will be the face of the team.

You do know all that's media, and actually very little of your hate is because of the way he plays or the things he said right?

So basically you're a dumbass who gets brainwashed by the media. K thanks bye. Not surprised, seeing as you are a typical dumb lebron fan afterall.

Just the whole Linsanity thing got tiring after awhile. Plus, as much as I hate the Knicks, dude should have been a little more grateful to them. Him and his agent meeting in Vegas to fu.ck the Knicks over even harder was pretty classless. Dolan is an idiot, but I don't blame him for not re-signing to this ungrateful turd.

The Linsanity Hype is pretty much dead by time the 2011 All-Star Weekend started. It was one of those rare moments where every news, sports and entertainment outlets ate up on the story because everybody was buying into it.

It came in the perfect time too, early to middle of February. Day after the Super Bowl. No more football, baseball hasn't started spring training yet. March Madness hasn't started yet.

07-20-2012, 04:18 PM

If you openly cheer for a player to fail you're probably not a basketball fan. Most likely you're whole interest in the game is wrapped up in man love for one player.

Cheer against a team that's a rival but to hope an individual fails just because you're tired of a moment is just moronic fan boy talk.

All you player only fans that spend so much time degrading other players just to prop up your guy or to be idiots in general are missing some great basketball and even worse some great conversation about basketball. Some of you really need to reevaluate yourselves

I don't wish him injury or anything like that. But the way he did the Knicks was wrong. I bash the Knicks all the time, but that was disrespectful of Lin to go behind Dolan's back like that. And like Sarcastic mentioned, the guy isn't much of warrior. 85% healthy and sits out of the playoffs? I don't think he would have made much of difference, but the Knicks were playing Bibby's corpse for awhile.

AK47DR91

07-20-2012, 04:32 PM

I remember Knicks fans were pissed off that D'Antoni was overusing Lin during that Linsanity stretch of games where he was playing the entire 2nd half. Playing 45 minutes a game.

Now, you guys wanted to see him play at 85% with a bad knee? ****ing hypocrites.

For the first-time in 12 years, instead of rooting for the Lakers to fail, I'll be rooting for the Knicks to fail. I hope they miss the playoffs and ship Melo's sorry ass out of there afterwards.

ripthekik

07-20-2012, 04:33 PM

If you were at the end of your puny contract.. you would risk coming out and getting injured? (meaning no more money for you, you're done)

that's really stupid.. I don't think anyone would come back from their injury just to lose to the heats anyways.

and i thought he was 15% from meeting the minimum threshold to play. So if being able to play was 60%, he was only 45? Not sure about that. But either ways, not worth the risk. Veteran players told him the same.

Not sure why this is smth that even can be hated on. Again, not surprised, coming from a lebron fan.

I hope you realize that every one of Lin's teammates said that Lin should sit out and not risk anything. Dolan also told him the same thing because he told him that he had plans for him in the future by re-signing him and stuff and they never kept their word.

This is Dolan and the Knicks' fault, not Lin's.

I don't think that was substantiated that everyone said he should sit. At least not for the final game after Baron Davis completely blew out his knee.

He was scared to be exposed by Miami again, and didn't want to hurt his value.

2) He was afraid to be exposed, so Knicks can have him for cheap

07-20-2012, 08:59 PM

lin is hardly an underdog story. for god sakes he is a harvard grad. even if his basketball career did not last, he would be a success in life. it just isn't the norm, which is why the world ate it up. he slept on a couch, not because he was poor. it was because he did not know if he was staying long.

i wont root for him to fail though, that would mean i have no soul. i still like him but he did the knicks dirty. i will keep track of him and his play whenever i can. but i wont get into linsanity next year if he re-appears. i will root for westbrook to annihilate him.

Phantom_Blue

07-20-2012, 09:52 PM

I could see someone wanting "Linsanity" to fail, maybe out of pure jealousy, we're human after all. However, it's not Lin that made that, it's his fans and the media. Now the media wants you to "hate" him because he essentially walked away from Linsanity and they gotta keep this story alive. All that talk about 85% and backstabbing is all he said/she said. You don't know what happened behind the scenes, you weren't there, so don't judge.

If you really wanted him to fail, you wouldn't talk about him anymore, let him become irrelevant. Brainwashing at it's finest, don't willingly be a fool. Hate Linsanity, not Lin himself.

If you're one of he haters, you should actually commend him for leaving the NY spotlight and going to a team with no star that virtually gets no recognition from the NBA and casual fans since the Yao era. He's in a position now where he has to prove himself, instead of being the "hero" in NY.

I hope he plays well because it brings in more fans...but, I'm not a fan of his play style.

If you mean by fail he wont be on a Chris paul, Rondo, Westbrook or Williams level then he will cause he is nowhre near there level or even Dragic or lowry's, but i think he'll sill be a solid 16 pts 7 assists 4 boards a game player.

im well aware of what the accusation leveled at lin by sarcastic was about, but neither sarcastic or you know what he was thinking at the time, or how legitimate his injury was.

you have absolutely no proof that lin decided not to play out of fear of underperforming, and not becaus he was injured.

Actually there was footage of him training, and it was only last minute he decided not to play..
Seeing as how depleted the Knicks were for game 5 they could have used him.

I don't care what exactly ran through his head at the time, it's irrelevant. You don't think his manager etc would have told him to sit out and not risk his payday?? By the way he snuck back and got more $$ from Houston, it's pretty obvious he knows exactly what he's doing...

Laxlen

07-21-2012, 11:19 AM

part of the reason "linsanity" became so big is because the LEAGUE needed something to mask the lingering anger over the recent lockout. "linsanity" was the the NBA's version of MLB's Sosa vs McGwire homerun battle.

Like Jim Rome said on his show last year (paraphrasing) "NFL fans during their contract negiotiations would call in and complain about how life altering it would be to lose their Sunday afternoons. I didn't field ANY of those calls regarding the NBA"

For the sake of the LEAGUE, Lin needs to NOT fail - - he doesn't "need" to be a superstar but he CAN NOT fail.

It's A VC3!!!

07-21-2012, 06:18 PM

If he fails or not this guy has changed his life dramatically. At the end of the bench into having Morey view him as a franchise player is a once in a lifetime opportunity. The rockets want to be talked about but since I wanted Lin in NY to make the Nets- Knicks rivalry that much better, I am pissed he left. I think he has a sub-par season.

People root for and against teams all the time and for and against players all the time. To yell racism is ridiculous. Are you all 12? Have you been victims of racism? Did it involve people want you to lose basketball games?

Linsanity died.

But Jeremy Lin will continue to live on and play basketball.

Some people may be sensitive to racism but it doesn't mean they may be wrong or that racism doesn't exist anymore.

One can hate someone or hope they fail because s/he is racist but that same person can hate someone else for non racist reasons.

The world is not that obtusely binary.

Seems petty to hope for someone to fail. Period. Get a life.

Of course there is racism. Lin has faced racism. There were headlines, jokes, etc. during the height of Linsanity that blatantly mocked him being asian.

Saying "i hope Lin fails" is not racist. The person implied if you want Lin to fail, you are a racist. That's stupid. People are allowed to root against him.

Everyone wanted Lebron to crash and burn for 2 seasons. Are they racist against blacks?

It could go either way. The only way to know is if we can read that person's mind, hook them on on a lie detector test, or whatever.

You can express racism via innocuous statements like "I hope Lin fails and I hope Ricky Rubio tears him a 3rd one." It could be encrypted racist message Or it may not be racist at all...

But one thing I know for sure that Whites are the best at encrypted racism just because historically, they've been chastised for racial violence and prejudice (holocaust, segregation of blax in the US, etc...)

So they had to find ways to express their bigotry without resulting brow beating from Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson.

I am not saying other races cannot be racist though. I met blax racists, asian racists, arab racists, hispanic racists, etc...

Wanting Lin to fail does not automatically make one racist. That's retarded. That's all i said.

If you says so, we will have to take your word for it.

But I would be surprised if the truth was otherwise.

So everyone who wants Lin to fail is racist? Or are you just bad with words?

I didnt mention salary at all in my post so not sure what the **** you are talking about.

Again, I understand Lin sitting. Him trying to imply he wanted to play but everyone else talked him out of his heroic return, is spin and is stupid.

So you hate him for sitting instead of playing?

Please, let me know your sources for saying he was 'fine'. Even at 85%, he may not have felt it was enough to play. He's been a stand-up person throughout his career, I doubt he's just going to not play for no reason. He really has no reason to lie about not playing other than maybe the pressure.

Honestly, it becomes childish to hate a player for something you are not absolutely 100% about. What actions you may have taken do not correspond with his. He made his choice to not play, and you have to respect that. It's completely different to me than Vince Carter saying he didn't give 100% in Toronto. Risking further injury is a much more serious deal.

Nothing against the Rockets, but I can't wait to see the official death of Linsanity in Houston.

Maybe if your mom paid attention to you at home, you would not post dumb sh1t on the ish:coleman:

I don't hate him at all, and my post says very clearly "i don't blame him for not playing" so you'll have to either reread what i wrote or just not bother.

Might have been from another thread you were talking about him, or I just got you mixed up. My bad.

My only issue with the 85%, him not playing etc. stems not from him not playing (which i understood at the time and still do) it's from his spin (which is his agent to, not only him) which kind of attempts to portray him as wanting to go out there heroically and everyone else preventing him from doing so. I don't like that.
