I came across an interesting article on a situation that took place last season. Not sure how true it is, but if it is valid, I think it may help explain JR. Smith's most recent comments about Lin's contract. Check out the article below. NEW YORK—Last night’s game between the Knicks and Hawks was delayed for several minutes while Knick guards J.R. Smith and Jeremy Lin engaged in a heated discussion on which of the two “was more Asian.” The argument apparently started when Smith, who spent several months playing for the Zhejiang Golden Bulls of the Chinese Basketball Association, accused Lin, whose parents are Taiwanese, of not fully understanding Asian culture. “I grew up in an Asian household!” shouted Lin at Smith. “I can speak Mandarin! I can even apply for a Chinese passport if I wanted!” Despite Lin’s vocal defense of the authenticity of his heritage, a stubborn Smith refused to back down from his stance. “I figured you’d say that,” Smith said derisively. “If you wanted, you could speak for hours about the moon, but until you actually go there, you don’t fully understand what it’s like.” Smith then raised his voice, “I’ve lived in China. I’ve been immersed in that culture. You’re just a spoiled California boy who went to Harvard. You got to get out of your bubble man. I know what it's like to be Asian,” shouted Smith as he pointed towards one his Chinese character tattoos. “Do you even know what that means?” asked Lin about the tattoo. “I’m not going to explain MY culture to you,” retorted Smith. “Why don’t you go eat some cheeseburgers and watch a Michael Bay movie you ignorant American.” http://www.tauntr.com/content/jr-smith-gets-shouting-match-jeremy-lin-over-who-more-asian
If you can't tell that this was a parody article written for sarcastic purposes, I've got some waterfront property for sale in Arizona. Lol
This isn't true. Would be equivalent to proving why some rice is white and why some rice is brown just completely stupid.
Agreed. This story is so far fetched because it's full of nothing but ignorance and stupidity, but then again it's JR Smith we're talking about.
OP please tell me you posted this for giggles. I sincerely hope you did not actually believe these events transpired.
