Damn what a r****ded thread.. You only watch Lin or something? A lot of players use mouth guards now and play with it during timeouts or free throws.
seriously the way lin keeps falling down hard on the floor, with that loud thumping noise and head backlash, a mouth guard is not enough. he needs a full football uniform. sure it'll slow him down, but at least we wont have to worry about him getting injured. and what about harden? if he's gonna keep dribbling into 5 defenders, he needs to somehow convert all of his physical matter into thin air, so he can sucessfully attack the basket while literally going through 3-5 opposing players. maybe the league can approve a holographic image of harden
Trust me, JLin needs it. After watching him gets his face smashed in at the Lakers game, he's going to start needing more protective headgear.
I also think he needs it, but he makes grimace when he wears them, so I guess it's not aesthetically pleasing to the girl fans. But that doesn't hurt his cuteness (I am a girl)
If you must know, I'm the Treasurer Pro Tem of an ultra-exclusive and secret club called Dudes In Complete Knowledge of Style, and Greg Smith is a 2012 inductee. When some of our members realized Greg Smith was not merely a Dude In Complete Knowledge of Style but also a Houston Rockets, naturally we clamored for some Rockets memorabilia and, of course, Jeremy Lin's mouth guard was one of the most sought-after items. Mr. Smith protested "Gents, I aver that serving members is my first pleasure, but I fear that taking Rockets memorabilia without paying for it will result in disciplinary action, and I may miss the first playoff game, which would be a dereliction of Prime Directive 2: 'Never pass up a chance to dominate sentient beings.'" Stephen Hawking happened to be at the meeting because he had business in town and he chimed in: "Never fear, Lads. Let yer noggin do the sloggin!" and he whispered in Mr. Smith's ear. . . . Well, next Saturday we're in the Hidden Hand discussing how to employ Justin Bieber to further consolidate control of the world seed supply when bang! the door flies back with the sound of a starters' gun, and in walks Mr. Smith. "Gents!" he says, cool as a Dude in a vodka commercial. "I've got your memorabilia right here." Just then we notice he is wearing his Rockets uniform. He drops his pants (it's okay in our club) to reveal a jock strap the size of jib on a schooner. We: "WTF Sir? You're not sporting our colors." Mr. Smith: [drops his jock strap]. And there, ladies and gentleman, like and unspeakably long and mutated ear of Cole Aldrich, was the member's member with perhaps two dozen mouth guards stuck on it, some grinning to the left, some to the right, drool dangling and swaying like Christmas ornaments and catching the light of our closed-circuit monitors like cubic zirconia. I have calculated that Mr. Lin's mouth guard is approximately one inch from top to bottom. And I have guesstimated, after many hours of reflection, drawings, and regression therapy that Mr. Smith brought Dudes in Complete Knowledge of Style 22-23 mouth guards clamped to his Honor Unit. His jock was made of trampoline material, and former Rockets mascot helper Turbo could easily have used it for a hammock. Sorry, you cannot apply to Dudes in Complete Knowledge of Style: you have to be nominated by an existing member.
What mockers of the OP need to understand is that, as everyone knows, "mouth guard" is a euphemism for a region of the anatomy not discussed in polite society. If you re-read the original post substituting the common five letter word for "mouth guard" you will understand why he is so uncomfortable with Jeremy's behaviour.
