    Easy...play selflessly and sacrifice for the benefit of the others. If the team trades you or is up front with you to tell you they are ok with you looking for a better opportunity elsewhere, then go for it.

    ....as a scrub that bounced around different teams year after year and got hulimiated and rejected by them...

    And eventually rejected by the league...

    .. With him reduced to tears in a pathetic display.

    Nothing different about that lol.

    Screams bona-fide scrub with a long history of being one lol.

    The irony for thr LOFs that cried racism is that had Airemy not been an Asian, he would have been out of the league a long while ago. A white or a black person with his scrub skills (no handles as a PG, terrible decision making as a PG, a role player not knowing his role, mental midget display on the court, and all the drama he brings ) would be long gone.

    NBA was patient with him but he was too much of a scrub.

    Hahahaha

    Now that is incredibly sad.

    An over the hill chump like Melo came back after a long hiatus and even he found a team.

    But no one wanted Airemy lol.

    And that pathetic display of tears by him...that is downright embarrassing by Airemy. Mental midget showed why he is a mental midget.

    Yup...severe knee injury that has ended many NBA careers definitely made NBA teams hesitant to give Lin a chance, and Lin decided to give up on his NBA career to go do something he always wanted to do (play in China).

    I still think it's pretty awesome that Lin keeps getting compared to Melo and other guys who were 1st round draft picks, multi-season all-stars, Team USA starters, Olympic gold medalists and World Champion players. No shame in being compared to guys like that...kind of an unreasonable comparison, but cool that people think of him like that.

    Because clearly knee injuries disappear in China lulz.

    Brain does not reside in a knee. Knee and poor decision making with the ball haha. Mental midget has always been a scrub and a thus a journeyman in the NBA.

    His terrible handles as a guard had nothing do with his knee. He has always sucked at it haha.

    Airemy could use the race card for only so long to stay relevant in the NBA.

    Eventually every team found out for the scrub he really is.

    And now no one in the NBA wants him.

    Was talking to a couple of Lakers and Nets fan yesterday and asked them if they were happy with the direction their team is going. Both were happy with the direction.

    They said you can only improve once you are past the Lin Era.

    Lol

    They said the same thing I have been saying...

    It wasn't even about his lack of skills as a basketball player, which every knowledgable bball fan knows him for.

    It was his terrible basketball IQ that shocked them. His bone headed plays drove them insane.

    They were all glad he is no longer part of the team and I can't blame them.

    Even us Rocket fans celebrated when Morey dumped him lol.

    Playing the crying dog at church cause NBA teams won’t sign you
    Is the biggest coward move of all time

    like people in church who aren’t multimillionaires struggle to pay bills while performing well at their job

    Lin sucked at his job so the nba didn’t want him anymore but got paid millions and have sick cult fans

    he was only used in garbage run the clock out time

    As a Nets fan, I am generally happy with the direction the team is going in (although the whole Kyrie/Durant thing still needs to prove itself). But I don't believe for a minute that any Net fan you spoke to said that Lin's departure had anything to do with the Nets getting better. I am a Nets fan and know many Nets fans, and just about all of us are simply disappointed that his injuries prevented him from making any kind of on-court impact on the team. He played 37 games for the team in 2 seasons...hardly any kind of basis for using him as any kind of pivot point for the team improving. The direction of the team changed for the better as soon as the Nets hired Sean Marks and Kenny Atkinson. And their first move was to sign Jeremy Lin.

    As far as the Lakers go, again, most point to Kobe finally hanging up his sneakers as the pivot for the direction of the team...and even then, Lakers fans thought the team was still a disaster until they picked up Lebron and Anthony Davis. Do you actually expect anyone to believe that a Lakers fan points to the departure of Jeremy Lin as the inflection point for the team? Please.

    Again, I agree the crying thing was lame. But as we have discovered, by the time he cried at that church event, he had already decided to join the Ducks in the CBA, so the crying had no impact on the decision he already made.

    Still recovering from the knee injury. No idea if he will be able to keep it up...he's already missed games in China to rest his knee. Last year, he played well for Atlanta but definitely saw him run out of gas in the 2nd half of the season.

    Has Jeremy been able to mentor Chinese youth on the free, sovereign nation of Taiwan during his time with the Pecking Ducks?

    LOL not only is he a terrible basketball player but he is also a terrible personality and a mental midget of the highest order.

    There is a reason that he tried to buy his Lakers temamtes by buying them gifts... Because no one liked this drama queen.

    They took the gifts and laughed at him.

    LOL that's it.

    It's not for basketball reasons he is there because we all know he sucks at that.

    I can't imagine any basketball player with any self respect wanting to be "mentored" by a scrub like Airemy lol

    Why Lin isn't in the NBA anymore

    He has no clock or game situation awareness, and he doesn't play well with all stars
