    He is like the Basketball President or Chairman, he can't own a team now. At least legally.

    This is like the New CBA Draft, and he is like Adam Silver now.

    Shoot this works out even better for Lin. He would be the new face of the CBA.

    No Yao is an honorable person who pays his players and not keep their 3 million dollars.
    He's not a thief.

    Watch the video before you assume he is crying about the NBA.

    You can be rich, successful and still feel "rock bottom".

    He just want to play to the best of his God given abilities in the NBA. Money fame and even championship wasn't important to him but he blew his chance with the Raptors when given the chance so he road the bench in the playoffs. He has a ring but he will be first to tell you he would trade that in for chance to play and to play well.

    I think his ride is over but he will not give up unless God puts him in another direction.

    That may come much sooner than Jeremy wants but he will submit when the time comes.

    He is a role model. Not to most on this board and that makes him a easy hate topic. He is "not good enough anymore' but he was used by God for His purpose.

    Don’t forget when you hit rock bottom

    He missed all his 3s so it broke.

    I can relate to what he is feeling. He worked hard and practiced long hours but his shot still failed him.

    In life, failure is not an option.

    You get kick out of league.

    Were you there when he was practicing?
    Are the stories of his practices like stories of Kobe going to the gym at 6am every day?

    Or is that you just simply believe he does cause his media team puts it out?

    When he was with the Rockets, God apparently was a Portland Trailblazer's fan.

    I doubt that!
    It was on him to improve every year to stay relevant in the NBA. Instead he toured and cried. He has millions of dollars in his account and a degree he can use. If he really wants to just play there are other leagues like the big3.
    He is a role model to those who want to con NBA teams for millions. I really pity anyone who believes Lin is a role model.
    Watching him speak is like watching Dawson Leery Cry on repeat.[​IMG]

    So let me get this straight.

    He's a 'role model'.

    But he also would throw away his championship ring for the chance to play for a trash team and put up 18 points a game and be in the spotlight.

    So he's a role model, but would rather get personal glory than team glory.

    Sorry, role model sure as hell ain't what you're describing.

    What exactly was Lin's purpose from God? To give Melo some time in the shadows so the world can see just how much of an idiot Lin is?

    Hate to break it to you kid, God has nothing to do with this.

    right now this Lin thread has 11 pages and the last Melo thread? has 13 pages . . . so these two threads are pretty much in a statistical tie. do the right thing ClutchFans.

    I think you know nothing about Jeremy Lin.

    You said money and fame mean nothing for him.
    That’s the whole reason he’s crying that he’s not getting a contract (money) and he’s not playing in the spotlight (fame).

    Nobody would predict what he says except him
    And that translator he uses when he made this video

    Only difference between his irrelevance and Carmelo’s is that Melo went on ESPN and told Stephen A his side of the story
    And not blaming the whole league or a biblical event
