    Nobody cares. Do you know how many Bermudan and Maldovan players are in the NBA because like I said, nobody cares.

    Lin fans want to be loved and want everyone to love Airemy Lin.

    As if it wasn't bad enough that grown men are running around across different team forums to convince everyone to love their idol, it's Airemy Lin they are trying to sell!

    A journeyman whose current residence is the worst team in the league.

    Jesssssus.

    it was 5 in the morning for you hun, when you were posting here, as the time stamp shows.. I was sound asleep by then.

    You came back home at 5 in the morning after driving around town all night in your riced up 4 door sedan while pretending its a sports car.. And then you quickly proceeded to your desktop to defend your journeyman idol.

    Souped up Toyota Solara..... oh jeezus lol.

    mig0s, you really need to question the purpose of your sad life.

    It's even worst for you boy, it's 3 in the morning and you
    12 million a year and starting point guard for the only Asian American playing in the NBA is better than any of you morons who can't even dibble a basketball.

    You need to learn world time zones. lulz..

    ...and scrub Asian American.

    Look at you, living vicariously off of a man that dribbles a basketball for the NETS.

    Too much FAIL on your part.

    Like I said, pick better idols to define your existence.

    To be honest though.... being a fan of grown man playing a sports in general... why do we do it? Why does it matter so much to us? Why does it ruin my day when Rockets lose and feels like everything will be ok when they win?

    Any social scientists on this board can weigh in?

    If someone is so emotionally invested in following a sports team where it it is having a negative impact on their daily life, then they should step back and re-evaluate their life priorities. Ultimately, its just another form of entertainment. There are far more important things in life than to drown yourself in a sports team's sorrows, something that is not in your control. Same goes for living vicariously through a sports team success that you follow.

    But I wasn't even talking about being a fan of a team, which I have respect for, even Sixers fans. Actually, particularly Sixers fans.

    Instead, I was talking about grown men and fans of a journeyman player that plays for the worst team in the league, parading around across different team forums, in an effort to convince them that their idol is worthy of their love.

    Now that is beyond pathetic.

    A billion people know the difference between Yao and Lin.
    Lin is closer to Yi Jainlian

    I don't think Lin has that many human fans, however he has lots of chicken fans

    Actually Lin is closer to Yao than Yi. Lin and Yao have both played a big role on the teams they played, but Yi never was able to play any big minutes on the teams he played. Of all the players that were Chinese only Yao and Lin are bonafide NBA player. This we can't say about Yi, Wang ZhiZhi and Mengke Bateer. We will see about rocket #2 draft Zhou Qi. So far we need to rejoice as Rocket Fan that Yao and Lin are the only two Chinese NBA player that struck on to be big part of their teams.

    There's Yao who doesn't suck
    and there's Lin and Yi who suck

    and there's fans of Yi and Lin who make up reasons for why they sucked like coaches, players, fans, racist, Satan, Taiwan

    LOFs go here

    A former Clutchfan, Pryuen, wanted a site where you can talk about Yao and even scrubs like Yi and Lin all day every day
    He recognized that it was pointless being on Clutchfans cause all we care about are the Rockets and being around Rockets fans.

    So go delete your password and username and jump into your wettest of Lin Only Fan dreams, a world where everyone licks Lin like he's ice cream

    We are talking about Lin and this is the thread about the present so if Yao is included since both impact on the NBA have been coined with Yaomania and Linsanity. Why are you so annoyed and don't recognize the impact of these two Chinese basketball players in the NBA?

    You keep saying Lin sucks but this is not true. Why would teams give him millions and play him major minutes if he sucks?

    Then why don't you go to some Chinese basketball site and whine about it there. The rest of the world has moved on
