[ClutchFans] The Jeremy Lin-Carmelo Anthony jersey controversy is ridiculously overblown

Haha, for those complaining about Lin for "whining and b****ing" and that he needs to grow up, sounds like a bunch of....whiners and babies to me.

 

What is truly comical is that Lin professes to be a true Christian who is above this type of behavior.

"I am not bothered by this disrespect, because I love everybody as all Christians do........but I have a right to stand up for myself when I am disrespected!"

Hypocrite.

 

He is a human being after all...

 

Morey's people skills with the "lesser thans" is deplorable. But, Lin comes off like a phony/flake using the bible to whine about something so petty. Obviously, people have used the bible for much worse.

Not a bad a guy, but needs to be traded soon. :/ Wish him well.

 

This article feels like a communist propaganda from Rockets.

 

Calls situation overblown... makes another article about it...

 

He needs to go already the sooner the better

 

I'm free to second-guess his intentions, though you don't have to agree.

 

Yessir.

 

Heh, this is still a thing?

 

You do realize that the quote ends "do not withhold your shirt from them". Clutch on the radio yesterday said something along the lines of "this is hardly the biggest disrespect recently when you consider all the trade talk last year" etc.

So rather than fake, perhaps he saw it as just incredibly apropos. And funny.

 

Lol okay... but he's been posting biblical verses ever since he got a Twitter. So even back then he was doing a PR move. I see now. Thanks.

 

See some people just don't get the point. They don't see the difference. This is why I said there are ignorant people out there. It is the same ignorant that created racism and disrespectability. Odom is not even with the Lakers ...why would you even bring it up. Henry is not being traded.

 

And that my friends...says it all.

 

Waiting for Lin to drop another proverb or the golden rule or lyrics from the sound of music when he leaves

 

Clutch is right. It is overblown. But that doesn't mean it is not wrong.

 

This isn't about who owned the jersey. It's about being respectful and being a classy organization and Rockets clearly did not show that and then try to cover it up by stating it's a standard practice. It's a standard practice if someone you employed has been traded...sure. Did Beverley get traded? No! It's a standard if you inform the person who is still working for you that you're using their # out of respect...but they did not. The fact that they ignore their employee shows they lack respect...so wahtever standard they're practicing, it's pretty classless.

 

Nobody respects lin.

 

the Lin part is overblown, but there is no denying that it doesn't give the rockets a positive image in the eyes of other FAs. Nobody wants to come to a team that treats their players like crap (I'm not just talking about this, the rockets have a long history of a lack of class when dealing with coaches/players in the past).

 

How hard is it to say a few nice words, by EVERYONE???

Good luck Jeremy Lin. Things didn't work out the way all of us wanted, but hey, we know you tried hard. And we, the team of Rockets, have to move on.

There. Not all people are bitter around here
