RIP to Jeremy Lin's career

[Kidbasketball20]

He had a magical run.


Linsanity may be the greatest run/story by an athlete ever. Especially with social media he blew up quicker than anyone I've ever witnessed. The Knicks played amazing basketball with him and he made all his teammates play up to their full potential.


The mistake was leaving NY. He should have taken less money to stay in NY rather than go for $$ over NY.


IT ended up costing the Knicks AND Lin.


Houston broke him. A terrible disgusting trash filled organization. Kevin McHale could not be a worse coach. He completely destroyed Lin's confidence and any chance of him being seen positively after Linsanity. James Harden was too similar a player for Lin to ever shine in Houston.

Not to mention the selfishness of players like Parsons who was SOLELY trying to get his.


Lin is mentally weak. He's unselfish and kind hearted. This is not good in the NBA.

His strengths of driving to the basket, playmaking and shooting seem to have been neutralized and completely scouted against. The problem is Lin has major weaknesses elsewhere and hasn't seemed to work on making them any better.


I've never been more worried/realizing that Lin may not ever be a starter in the league after this season. It's sad.

That's what happens when you play with Kobe.

[YouGotServed]

meltdown :roll: Eat crow, LOF.

[ImKobe]

lol? Lin got 20+ million out of a 2 week hot stretch, it's a success story

[Smook A.]

Next time Lin scores 20+, Kidbasketball20 is gonna be like "Lin is back!"

[Kidbasketball20]

Next time Lin scores 20+, Kidbasketball20 is gonna be like "Lin is back!"

Yup! If it's on a high shooting percentage. :bowdown: :bowdown:



But more often than not this year he's been looking really bad.

I thought it was cause of the Rox holding him back, but maybe it wasn't.


McHale's still trash tho

[STATUTORY]

:roll: dude is legit shook as f@ck and intimidated as hell by Kobe

:roll: dude is legit shook as f@ck and intimidated as hell by Kobe

The only reason I'm surprised is b/c he played with Melo and Harden.

All 3 are ball hogs used to being the #1 on their team (well maybe not Harden)

Imo it's all mental with Lin. And he needs a jump shot.

[Cocaine80s]

Maybe he can start developing apps or something because he sure ain't gonna be in the league next year

Underrated post.

[KungFuJoe]

Holy crap...c'mon. Lin will be fine. The entire team looks like crap. It's not like everyone else is playing great except Lin.

You ever play ball? Playing on a shitty team is contagious.

Maybe that's why he has a Havard Degree as a backup.

Now his richer by 20 mil, with a degree to boot and a cool story to tell his future kids of the "linsanity era". Not bad I would say, he's a success story. He's living my dream.

[stalkerforlife]

Lin as we know it is over.

OP, I feel your pain. He's a good guy and a good player, but he's mentally soft.

[oarabbus]

He studied economics not computer engineering, he doesn't know how to make a damn app :oldlol:

Lol i was just ****ing around

Im pretty sure he'll still be in the league but i couldnt help but kick kidbasketball while he was down :lol

[imdaman99]

He did it to himself by leaving the Knicks. As if he wasn't going to make those extra millions through sponsors playing in a city like NYC. NYC was in love with him. He went to Houston to play for a coach that already cut him??? :hammerhead:

[AirTupac]

Had hope for him but now that I finally watched him play, its no surprise he's turnover prone. Not because of bad passes, but his handle is awful for a pointguard. He panics under pressure and gets stripped. Average backup PG is all he is.

[oarabbus]

Lol i was just ****ing around

Im pretty sure he'll still be in the league but i couldnt help but kick kidbasketball while he was down :lol


Yeah I know, for the record that comment was hilarious :cheers:

[deja vu]

At least he fooled the Rockets into giving him that bloated contract.

A few weeks of Linsanity and people were crowning him the next GOAT PG blah blah.

Lin made the Great Train Robbery look like child's play the way he robbed the Rockets. :lol

Do you have Down syndrome?

He averaged 13/5 in Houston while being paid $5 million a year ($8 mil cap hit).

[JohnFreeman]

Love people saying "lin robbed the Rockets" as if it wasn't their fault for giving such a big contract.

LOL a 3 year 25 million dollar contract is not overpaying for you? Considering his garbage play? What an idiot.

It's a bad contract, it's not a "robbery". There are many, many bad contracts in this league. Overpaying is not the same as a "robbery". If you'd said "Lin's contract is terrible and the Rockets overpaid" then there would be no issue but...


Amare Stoudemire? THAT's a robbery.

Gilbert Arenas? THAT's a robbery.

Steve Nash? THAT's a robbery.

Educate yourself son.

[penny4president]

this one made me chuckle :roll:

[Big Cheese]

don't people realize that NY didnt even offer him a contract? The rockets were the only team to offer him a contract.

[Mr Exlax]

OP can you please give Harden some kind of props for helping Lin look good now?

[disel]

Buwahhhhh two weeks of fluke play and this cat was exposed for the fraud scrub that he was in Houston and now in la.damn these loonies cats blaming everyone but lins poor skillet this whoe had no career to begin with with to be broken. This cat will be a scrub bench rider from here that is if he even gets a contract next season:roll:

[buddha]

pretty impressive, how did he acquire a Havard Degree while attending Stanford?

That is a robbery jackass. Lin sucks.

[brantonli]

Has everybody forgotten that NY decided not to match the Rockets offer to Lin? Why is everybody saying Lin left NY when its the Knicks that decided not to bring him back?
