    You have to admit
    Lin trolled the league like a boss.

    You keep making your appearance whacker and whacker someone will say something

    I do agree he’s a liar about having a Kenyon Martin poster. Dude grew up in Palo Alto. Nobody likes the nets out there

    No that's not idiocy. That's racism.

    I dont' care about Lin or his hair. But got to call it for what it is.
    Racism.

    Also I just learned today because of this this term "culture appropriation" and wtf. Are we living in the Dark Ages?

    Martin is an American who speaks a language that comes from England, has tattoos in Chinese, has a religion that comes from the Middle East, made his carreer playing a sport that was invented by a Canadian and has the audacity to call others out?
    GTFO with your racism.

    No one asked for a $10/month 'fitness club' lmao
    You are just sad because your life revolves around Lin and you can't escape it.

    ..and yet you yourself said that's what you have been paying for one..

    Nuthugging a scrub like Airemy Lin and a $10 membership to a fitness club.

    Ouch.

    Clearly life has not been too kind to you, my friend.

    [​IMG]

    PS. You actually went to Taiwan to stalk Airemy, thinking you will find him there! $10 membership makes sense now. LOL!

    Nah I went to Taiwan solely for the food and dont need to have a visa. I didn't even know that Airemy was there. Damn boy you seem to know a lot about Lin with all the stalking that you can gather in peace in mom's basement.

    Life has not been too kind for you I guess

    Just like your scrub hero Airemy, you are trying too hard and to make matters worse, you lack originality. But enough about your personal shenanigans. We have already established your lack of social status a while back. Or mostly you have, I should say. We already know about them and frankly, even though we are amused, your scrub life is not really what concerns us.

    Let's talk basketball.

    Beverley...Ranked 50 in top 100 players in the NBA. Also 1st team All NBA defense.

    Airemy Lin ...not in top 100 list for two years in a row.

    Like seriously, nowhere.

    Like...non. @heypartner

    So migos, thoughts?

    Where do you rank Airemy in the list of top scrubs in the NBA?

    People know my thoughts Lin as a player but he handled this well. Martin is an ******* for what he said

    Looks like it was his teammates' idea:

    http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/b...artin-criticized-dreadlocks-article-1.3543483

    “When I first signed in Brooklyn, I remember talking to Rondae (Hollis-Jefferson) about hair. He told me he would grow his hair out with me — and that he’d get dreads with me,” Lin said. “One time, Caris (LeVert) chose my braid design when I wasn’t sure what to get. Before this season, D-Lo, DeMarre (Carroll) and I discussed what the process of getting dreads is like — how painful the beginning process is, whether you could still rock a hat, how to maintain them, things like that.”

    According to Airemy himelf, one of the first things he did when he joined his new team was talk to his teammates about hair.

    The idea that a double standard might exist regarding racism among different minorities is hardly ignorance promoting.

    What's truly ignorant is accepting only specific subsets of reality that fit your sensibilities, even though there is mounting evidence that culture and family structure are extremely important to success, arguably more so than any other measure we have used in the past.

    Malcolm Gladwell, David kahnemen, and Nick Talib, three extremely heavy hitters in outlying statistics, agree on this, even though they disagree on nearly everything else.

    Check out outliers, black swan, and thinking fast and slow. It's extremely hard to ignore the data, and I think discussion around this topic should be open minded and inviting, rather than stigmatized.
