    Omg we have got to this point. Where we actually are questioning if Chris Paul is better than Lin.

    YES HE IS

    Any given sunday. That's the name of the game, Kings fall and pawns raise. No NBA player is going out there to lay their heads.

    Sorry I see Lin as part of the rockets. Rockets > Clippers . Even before Dwight came into the picture.

    Well someone is questioning if Chris Paul is a superstar on a Jeremy Lin thread.

    This is highly suspicious of illogical thinking

    As stated by some others here, you could make a video like this about a lot of players. Many work hard during the off-season. Just take your video clips at the right time and there are many "heroes."

    One thing I dislike about most sports videos, including this one, is the overly dramatic music. It's just a game, after all.

    Through a whole playoff series ( when it matters) you think Lin has a chance to outplay CP3?

    How about this. You think even James Harden can outplay Lebron James through a whole playoff series?

    Well, after reading some threads on Lin, I do realize that some Lin fans are so bad, which is one of the reasons that some people on this site want Lin to be removed, which seems to be fair for me right now. That is not fair for Lin himself since he is a good person and smart player.

    Please chill out . If you bother to go through the whole thread. These folks got baited. Lin supporters please don't fall for it. We have seen what he is capable of doing, it's no fluke. He just needs to stay healthy and improve, work with the team. Is not a take over Han Solo type of superstar, like Harden.

    Can't wait for him to get his health back to max, get everything clicking ,and get his swagger back.

    If you are a Rockets fan, you would want a fellow Rocket to do good. Am i right? Nice to see he's working hard.

    I really hope you're not serious. Most players train in the season to get better. And no NBA player has ever shot 70% and over, Michel jordan probably worked harder than anyone. Kobe works hard everyone knows, but every player has their ceiling. You wont get better every single season, you'll eventually hit your ceiling. some hit it early some hit it late.

    I really feel that this whole LOF and LOH debate is nothing but the combination of rumors, missunderstanding, and over-sensitivity.

    A stated that he doesnt think Chris Paul is a super star because his team never made it past 2nd round PO, and then B replied and asked if A thinks Lin is better than Chris Paul (Sarcastically). And now we have people think we got dilusional LOF who thinks Lin is better than Paul.

    Please, people, some of your hate on LOF or LOH are just the results of stacked miss-interpretation of sarcasm or oversensitivity of the comments. We vent on this board based on false information and others take them as facts.

    just because someone is questioning whether cp3 is a superstar mean he thinks lin is better than paul? what?! how does that logic work?

    and really, why does it offend you so much that someone doesn't think cp3 is a superstar? superstar moniker is totally subjective - that's like asking if batman is a superhero. some might think so, but some might just think he's got all the gadgets but not really a superhero.

    i think he's the best pg out there. period. superstar or not i don't really care since that's not quantifiable. but i also don't get worked up and offended if someone doesn't think so. it's not like he's calling the earth flat. and even if he is, who cares? i don't bother arguing with a crazy uncle at family reunions...

    This is pretty much every other thread where people see supportive comments of Lin WITH NO BASHING OF ANYONE, followed by 5 sarcastic, "funny" lame jokes against Lin, followed by 5 hateful trollish Lin sucks comments, followed by a troll Lin fan, whereafter everyone says they don't want Lin on the Rockets cuz of his delusional fans who defend Lin for some strange reason. Really?
