Jeremy Lin says Houston Rockets coaches lost faith in him last season - ESPN

Don't get baited by some media trying to create controversy by taking things out of context.
I'll repost my post from the other thread.

=====================
The whole thing is overblown.

Here is a young man giving a Christian testimony to 20000 young people about the importance of self-identity by opening up his own struggles and mistakes. As an example, he shared his own a mistake to get his self-identity wrapped up in the Linsanity hype which brought no joy and stress, even got his coaches to lose faith in him. But he finally listened to his God's voice to simply give his best so he managed to play better.

He encouraged young people not to make the same mistake that he did by wrapping up their self-identity in 3 things in the world (money, worldly success and human approval).

It's all good thing to encourage young people, right? He even opened up his mistakes.
How did ESPN and other media turn this into "Jeremy Lin blaming coaches" or "How dare Jeremy Lin thought he was supposed to save Houston?"

The young man only tried to do a good thing but got twisted by the money-making media.
And cursed by radio guys. No wonder there are not more of good guys in the media. Good news don't make enough money for the mainstream media.

(Here is a more accurate headline)
Jeremy Lin Shares Struggles Behind 'Linsanity' Hype (Video)

 

This is why athletes can't be candid. Lin didn't seem to blame anybody beyond himself.

 

What controversy? Jeremy Lin won't make or break the Rockets this season.

 

Fura saints

 

Controversy about reporting truth or lies to divide-and-conquer Lin fans and Houston fans. So yes I agree, it has nothing to do with Lin not making or breaking the Rockets' season.

I just don't like being lied to by the media so I thought there might be others feeling the same way.

 

Lin fans won't believe it and Houston fans already dislike ESPN so I don't see it as anymore than TMZ like journalism.

 

Don't understand why people don't like Lin. He's very capable and appears to be a likable guy. Shrug...

 

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding...

 

You want it all but you can't have it
It's in your face but you can't grab it

What is it?
IT'S IT!
What is it?
IT'S IT!
What is it?
IT'S IT!
What is it?
IT'S IT!

 

ESPN troll article

 

It's been that way since he got to the NBA. In GSW, it was how he was only in the NBA cuz of the Asian fans he brings in in the Bay Area. How he only plays tenacious D and can't run an offense. It snowballed since and now a ton of people just hate him and say that they actually like him were it not for his fans. I think someone recently said that they like the guy and root for him to succeed but that he is an attention seeking game-w**** who is fake from head to toe! Lol. And now he's a pompous prickly I guess because he gave a testimony tonsharecjis mistakes last year in front of his fans and fellow Christians. Go figure. And of course it's the ones who DEFEND him that are idiotic not the ones who HATE on him. Anyways, forget JLin. Lets stop making new threads about him please cuz the hate towards him is really suffocating to wade through every day. Lets just talk about everyone but Jeremy until the season begins. That would be awesome, imo.

 

I swear I know I'm getting too old cuz I used to have all the tapes or singles that you're always referencing. Lol.

 

I don't like ESPN. It seems like it's more for casual fans and people who rarely watches sport. It feels like Reddit is the only reliable source of news nowadays

 

All right stop, Collaborate and listen
Tinman is back with his brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of him tightly
Flow like a harpoon daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo – he don't know
Turn off the lights and he'll glow

 

You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the holy church
You could say I lost my sense of direction
You could say all of this and worse but

If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do

 

Over thinking killed the basketball player

 

I lost faith in him after he had been strugling then air balled that buzzer beater vs miami by about 3 feet. That being said I have high hope for next season and feel his performance will improve.

 

the title doesn't focus on the big picture, but the video is solid.

 

You and I know not to trust ESPN who sometimes stooped to TMZ-like journalism to with controversial headlines just to get more clicks.

But I am concerned with others who just believed in the lies in the misleading headlines and further divide the Lin fans and Houston fans here. Even worse, when more people perpetuate the lies, it might potentially create a distrust between coaches and Lin, or Morey who often lurks here.
