    Waiting for the hardcore Harden d-riders to ***** and complain that Harden doesnt have any faults and Lin should know his place.

    [QUOTE="Know Your Role, post: 11850343, member: 48973" Do guys really pay attention to other guy's bodies?[/QUOTE]

    Lol, what a weird thing to say...I assume Lin was referring to the delivery of the message from harden. Not intently watching hardens body.

    I agree. Sound message. Sad that the message will get spun into something completely different about Harden. This won't be the only thread on this speech...lulz

    wait . for . it .

    from the media (I'm lookin at you Skip) ... or McHale or Howard

    Can't help but think any celebrity would know a graduation ceremony speech with a story naming names has a good chance to be spun away from the message to the kids. If I were Lin, I would have chose a nameless story, or one about just my family.

    Lin is completely right. One of the things that pissed harden off about Howard was because he would never tell harden what he wanted. Howard was a passive aggressive little b**** harden hated that ****. I remeber harden saying Howard needs to demand the ball if he wanted to post up instead of pussying around.

    Why do you think harden gets along with Chris Paul so well, because CP doesn't shuffle his words, he says what has to be said.

    Lin mistook Jim's anterior pelvic tilt as aggressive posture and body-shamed Harden. :(

    I dunno man, first of all most of the time its not good to "Stand up to your parents". Unless your parents are wack most parents love their children and only want the best for them. If they're getting in the way of your dreams to be a writer and telling you to take a boring management course instead then maybe its because 99% of aspiring writers end up as low paid teachers in trashy schools. They are older, they are wise and they dont want you to make the same mistakes they did. Lin is super smart he graduated from Harvard so he doesn't have this problem but most kids dont know whats best for them thats why telling them to "stand up to their parents" might not be a good idea.

    Secondly Lin is getting an honorary degree here thats why he is giving a speech but couldn't he speak in his moyher tongue or something? Considering he has plans in promoting in Taiwan or China maybe he should have taken some time learning his native language.

    Finally according to his story Harden was saying the right thing. Maybe he should have focused on that rather than Harden's poor body language. Maybe Harden was telling him to not keep dropping the ball during crucial moments in the playoffs. I dont see how standing up to someone when he is saying the right thing supposed to garner respect, it just makes you look like a fool.

    It was the gang signs Harden was flashing that probably intimidated Lin.

    I mean Jeremy after Harden won the MVP, you are acting classless. Know your place in the league, which is a below average Guard, that can't play Point. Why didn't you confront Kobe after he cussed you out, many times. Too afraid to fight? Jeremy Lin is getting hacked and hit in the paint for a reason. Calling out other players.

    No, because I don't agree with how he posted the message, nor burying I.D.I.O.T. stuff in toxic @swyyyguy Lin threads, nor the fact he didn't post a timestamp, and I had to listen to the whole freaking thing, with the translator interludes...grrrrr
