Jeremy Lin & David Lee 4 vs 4 at Taiwan street court last night 29/8 (videos)

Isn't he paid to wear it?

 

The opponent's team is NSN champion team that means they are skilled, not professional.
I guess the NSN is Nike Summer Nights, so they are amateur or school level.
There is a real Taiwanese black people in slam dunk game in Nike Summer Nights.

You mean by like Nike? Is he paid to wear the arm sleeve, maybe. That would make sense. I know KD gets paid to wear the Nike backpacks.

Maybe it's psychological but for some players, they dont play without them. While for others, it's covering up the gang tatoos.

 

Not true. The better we do with a bunch of promising rooks and 2nd 3rd year players, the more likely that we have what it takes to improve even more so, and turn into a team that just needs a couple of more pieces to be a competitive team. Even with the lottery pick, were we to truly suck next year, we'd just have another rookie among others that would have proven themselves to be busts, actually DELAYING our chances of getting to where we need to go.
The Nets had DWill, the Cavs had Kyrie, even if we were to get a lottery pick of that caliber if the rest of the team sucked enough to get s lottery pick, it wouldnt matter. In other words, only if this group shows potential, with our assets, cap space, and flexibility, can we actually be on our way to having a team that can make noise in the playoffs. We must do well next year if we are to achieve the quickest success.

 

I think Lin is just wearing the sleeve to keep his shooting arm warm

 

Iverson started it, he had bursitis when he started wearing it. I think it is a fashion statement more than health benefits like those necklace some baseball players wear.

Lin was going half speed most of the game, he is smart enough not to injure himself. I don't think Rockets like to see him play pickup games, a lot of injuries come from them because he is playing against amateurs who are probaly jack high playing against Lin.

 

He's got a sore arm from fapping too much

 

Zeremy Lin!!!

 

So what I'm getting from all of this is that David Lee and J are BFF's and J will convince David to join the Rockets. David Lee is the superstar this team has been missing.

 

by superstar, you mean 6'9 PF? =))
to be fair Lee is better than all of our PFs combined

 

David Lee is a good player but superstar? Lol thats funny.

 

At least he's paid like one. And he was an All-Star selection in 2010.

 

and he's 6'9 =))

 

A lot of players get paid max when they aren't even superstars and David Lee gets paid a decent amount lower than max. Getting an All Star selection puts his in the same category as low level stars like Danny Granger. Not even close to a superstar.

Brook Lopez, Eric Gordon, and other players get paid max but are they superstars? No they are barely even stars if at all.

 

It may be entirely psychological. I feel no difference, it feels good to wear but it doesn't help me shoot better or play better lol.
Maybe the NBA is using a sleeve that actually helps, but from my experience it doesn't.
