This guy is hilarious because of the racial aspect, but you are inserting the political view by quoting William Bigelow, who seems to be an extremely conservative republican. Mumia Abu-Jamal case is about justice and the state of law, and it was a big issue for years even here in Europe, dealt by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. The origin of the case may be racial, but the rule of law is a much bigger issue. Abu-Jamal is an honorary citizen of Copenhagen and Paris. Please leave the political aspect out of this.
he deserves it. he is playing like a scared little beyotch. attacks one game then totally disappears and regresses in other games.
He played good D on westbrook and made the right looks for asik and patterson. They were teaming up on Lin and Harden all game. Despite the double and sometimes triple team on Lin, he still passed a lot of good looks to a lot of players that unfortunately turned into missed assists. Read the game thread, a lot of ppl are happy with lins play. Harden was struggling tonite, but every player has nights like these. The team is doing fine. Lin is doing fine. The hate is not needed. I think the hate is directed more at his crazy fans then lin. Harden shot 3/16 with, daquan cook shot 7-17 and houston had 16 TOs compared to the 15 on the thunder. We were within ten for most of the game against a team that is probably going to make finals. We're doing pretty decent with the youngest team that is still gelling.
lol watching the feed right now they have Mitch Richmond on to analyze Lin's game. He said that lin can be a quality point guard that can be a starter.
Lin fans are for the most part not the ones making stupid statements and doing the baiting... its is alot of troll posting that you seem to be missing
I agree with you there about a lot of people trolling Lin to bait posters on this board. When I said "crazy fans," I should have been more specific. Unfortunately when there is only one or two over zealous LOFs (not you,me or some other users here) making a rediculous comment about Lin, a ton of people come out of the woodwork to troll them. In response the more sensible supporters who know Lin isn't the come all be all, comment back and then threads go on and on forever with ppl just hating on each other.
We don't need to find a reason. Like S.A.S did on Lin during Linsanity time, hater love to hate; we could not find any normal reason for that.
Can anyone list me some players that didn't deserve to be in the all star game that got in? Someone said Yao was the only one but I thought there were a lot more stars that got in simply on name recognition alone.
Pretty sure it happened for Vince Carter once or twice. ...and I may get roasted alive for this, but I think Steve Francis may have been only a borderline all star the years he was voted in by fans.
Did this really happen? "Say this much for Vince Carter. At least he’s making the lead-up to the All-Star Game interesting. First, he gets voted to the Eastern Conference starting lineup despite having played in only 10 games. Then he declines to heed calls to give up his starting spot to Michael Jordan" http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_game/marty_burns/news/2003/02/04/burns_mailbag/
Marc Lamont follows up his Huffpost article with a round of video interviews. More of the same, really. http://live.huffingtonpost.com/r/segment/is-linsanity-gone/50b3d80878c90a5915000051
I think 99% of the LOFs would agree that Lin is a young player with potential... and thats about it.... I think a lot of the hate for LIN and his fans...is because of the perception that LOFs think LIN is a superstar player... and compare him to the best PGs in the league... where most LOFs would probably compare him to John Wall or other PGs that came into the league at the same time Lin got a shot at summer league play... and the draw for LOFs especially the Asian fans Rudy Ruettiger esque type of admiration... because Lin is doing something they were told they could not do
Yeah I saw that. I like what Mitch Richmond had to say. He pretty much said Lin wasn't a top tier point guard but he can be above average. A throwback player that isn't just about scoring. You can tell that Lamount was angry because he was being labeled a racists and all the negative criticism he has received. Bottom line. A pundit that is focus mainly on black issues shouldn't be writing that kind of piece on Lin. You would think they at least throw a token Asian guy into the debate.
