LOL. What's your motive for being on this board? Caling Lin a back-up and questioning the attention he's getting as the first NBA player of Taiwanese descent in Taiwan? If that's not flaming, then I don't know what is. BTW, it's JEREMY, not jermey.
I am a Houston rockets fan and as a fan I have the right to have opinions about players on my favorite team and I think Jeremy Lin is not a starting point guard in this league. If you don't like what I've said because I'm "flaming" your favorite player than oh well.
your a Houston Rockets fan since when? aug of 2012? Which player brought you here? What made you a fan of "The Rockets" ? Seriously bro, from my exp NYK fans can not type, can't spell, and alot of hate. you fit in.
Oh , BYW you need to know when to give up when your clearly getting owned on this forum. You prob don't even care since your not even a fan.
I've found a great place for you to show your love fest http://yaomingmania.com/forum/ gtfo, THIS IS A HOUSTON ROCKETS FORUM!!!
You, as well as all others, are entitled to an opinion. However, I'd like to point out that you're getting negative reactions because you have implied that Jeremy Lin gets a following ONLY because of his race. For example the following statement: Many people in media and elsewhere have noted that Jeremy Lin is breaking barriers in more ways than one. With a lot of your comments, you are coming off as misinformed, insensitive, or just plain spiteful. Take it easy with the haterade. He didn't steal your girlfriend.
I never said Jeremy Lin ONLY will get votes because of his race. Answer me, in 2003 who was voted in as the starting center for the western conference? It was Yao Ming, who was voted over Shaq. It was obvious that most of those votes came from China. Yao Ming averaged just under 12 ppg. Meanwhile Shaq was averaging 26 ppg. So you are blind if you don't think the Asian countries will vote him in base on his performance and not his race.
Take that up with David Stern. Fans don't create the rules. The commissioner did. The NBA "All-Star" game is a popularity contest. People are going to vote for their favorite players, and in China that happened to be Yao Ming. It's none of your business to dictate whom people should or shouldn't vote for. Btw, Yao Ming, who happens to be a HOUSTON ROCKET, is also one of the greatest centers of his time. No acknowledgement of that of course.
Now Yao's turn? wow dude you not only hate Lin you also hate Yao, I'm not even close to a fan of Yao's nor am I interested , didn't watch a single game of his , but you just exposed yourself as a hater. I don't know what is it you really hate, but you are a hater. So who's next on your list?
hmmm, China's favorite player is a Chinese. So my original statement was correct after all. Yao Ming was voted based on his race and Lin will also. This is so disrespectful to the game and very disgusting imo
Just like you said Mr. troll. My opinion about MY Rockets( 2 jerseys for 500 bucks makes me a f***ing Rockets fan) And this thread created by " me ".
