If McHale had Yao with Yao skills, Yao would have been even a better player which is a scary though considering how great Yaoza was.
While I agree with your first point, I have to absolutely disagree with your second point. Statistically Harden is arguably the best Guard in the league season to date so far!
Every which way you look at it, in terms of actual revenue per dollar spent, LIN far out weighs Bev. That is not even questionable.. Can we agree on that? If you can't agree on that, that is preposterous...even with the revenue sharing... How many ads do you see flipping chinese characters on the sidelines? Does that mean Bev sucks? ...NO Does that mean Bev doesn't generate revenue? ABSOLUTELY YES. So who stays? Rocket fans who love Bev's energy? ORRRRR...OR.. Who makes their employer the most $$$ MONEY/MOREY. BEV is no where near LIN's actual skillset.... Nor is he anywhere near LINS world wide value... Are all the BEV fans..literally DELIRIOUS? im pretty sure of it, in terms of the business aspect...
lol seriously. It seems like he just always has to disagree with someone and it fits his username perfectly. Every time i see his name I barely even read his post. I just think that he's saying "meh, you're wrong."
Lin is not an accidental ALL-STAR.. I would be surprised if he's not a top 3 PG in the West on Votes... Does he deserve it on his baller abilities? Maybe not... Does it matter? Nope. Its a popularity vote..not a skill vote... So the fact that "Americans" cant accept the fact (THAT WORLD WIDE) the votes is for some one else than Paul or Pathetic BEV.... just F'n accept it. America is such a small part of the "POPULAR" vote. American is the MAJORITY Military vote..and thats it... SAD? Yep. FACT.. MAJOR YUP.
Bev dosent eve have a market and that's beside the point. You said Houston was not a top 10 market, but the fact it Houston was a top 7 market before Lin.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/allstar/NBA_2013_voting.html Western Conference Backcourt 2013 1. Kobe Bryant 1,591,437 2. Chris Paul 929,155 3. Jeremy Lin 883,809 Which means, over a 60 day voting period, Lin got (give or take) 10 votes per minute or about 15000 votes per day. Compared to his 1 million twitter followers, I can conclude that his overall popularity did not translate to all-star votes. And, if we assume that all of last years numbers represent "China / Taiwan / Asia" vote padding, then that's a pretty small percentage based on population.
The Rockets consistently was in the 5~7 range before Lin came, even after Yao left the Rockets. In fact, the Rockets are toward the low end this year, coming in at #7. But keep on making up stuff out of you behind.
Am I a Lin Fan? Yes Am I stating a fact ?( Lin far outweighs Bevs Marketable Value?) YEP Is Lin a better PG than Bev, yep! Is it a proven fact that Lin is more POPULAR and is a better PG? YEP.. That makes me a LIN LOVER? YEP?? (thats a maybe) Does that pretty much make it a better business decision to keep LIN? YEP So where does BEV fit into a business decision? Maybe in GREECE.. Does that make me a LOF? NO.. I support efficiency and the American Dream. Does BEV fit in that situation? Not when you have a cash cow called LIN. Lets get the fact straight... LIN is a cash cow.. Bev is no where near "WOW"
I'm thing you are a troll trying to make Lin fans look bad. What fact are you talking about. You clearly stated we were not a top 10 markert before Lin and that is an outrages fabrication.
Lets get to the meat of the story... Rockets have been lost prior to LIN, HARDEN, DWIGHT. Has the Rockets "RECENTLY RISEN" to the top 10... YES. Were the Rockets in the top 10 prior to that? F NO..(AND DONT LIE) Were the LAKERS,SPURS,KNICKS,HEAT,CELTICS,MAVS,BULLS,PISTONS,CAVS,SUNS,CLIPPERS there after the YAO,MCGRADY era? YES times 11.... I wont even go past that.. The Rockets have sucked for a long time... a VERY LONG TIME. Congrats for an exciting team to watch, but that does not mean the Rockets have been a top 10 team in nearly TWO DECADES..
It really doesn't matter. NBA designs ASG to be fan voted. Anyone who got voted into the game is because they are loved by fans in the world. It is what it is. If they want those who "deserve", then just let coaches/journalists do all the voting.
Hey rubberdong i mean toe. Lin troll or not, I actually I hate to admit it but i like your posting style. Asking questions and then answering yourself. Makes me laugh. ROFL
I have a troll you should be watching.... Truth1 (everyone thinks he's a LOF, but in fact he's the best BOF i've ever seen) Don't get it twisted... Rockets are a good team... Bev is not even a Derek Fisher on a Lakers playoff contention team... Hell, he's not even D. Fisher on the current OKC team. But he is a PG with energy.. an energy that can't push more than 10 minutes efficiently the entire game...
Dont admit anything other than the fact you like a BEVerage down your throat!! Why would this forum even be semi intereseting if everyone agreed? Just agree to agree that BEV SUCK K? :grin:
no no. please don't change the way you post. I geniunely think it's hilarious. You have to ask and answer yourself for the love of God.
