    Kobe's mentality is Tupac while Jeremy Lin is Amy Grant

    It's going to be hard to change him

    Tupac isn't a little b**** like Kobe is under his bad guy demeanor. Kobe is just an *******. I would say Kobe is much closer to Bieber personality wise.

    Kobe is Mick Jagger and Lin Marianne Faithfull. Kobe's eating that Mars bar...

    Kobe is TLC

    He doesn't want no scrubs

    a scrub is a guy who is plays inconsistently

    Lin might have to ride on the passenger side

    but he's too scared to holler at kobe

    hmm Harvard, perfect SAT II score in Math 2C in the 9th grade..
    Yao never went to a normal school and was developed and focussed on basketball.. I think it's safe to assume Lin is better than Yao at math :)
    Not saying Lin is smarter though since I personally think Yao is so much more witty, mentally tough and seems a lot more savvy.

    Lin has the quintessential Asian nice-guy, passive aggressive, submissive quality about him. Unless he gets over this blind-spot and start making a stand for himself, he will never get respect in the league. We were talking about pat beverly... he doesn't back down from anyone! Not Westbrook, not Paul, not anyone. If Lin learned this way of being and play his heart out and keep his poise, he will be successful. That is all

    I don't know that Kobe ****ing with the mind of a player with fragile confidence is the wisest thing but it's damn entertaining.

    If there is a player to be sorry for it's Kwame. His career was ruined because of MJ

    Bryant was also getting on Jeremy Lin during the scrimmage, daring him to shoot whenever he had the ball, yelling, "This m-----f----- don't got s---. He ain't got s--- right now. Shoot! Shoot!" After Lin missed a pull-up jumper, Bryant said, "I talked his ass right into that bulls---. I talked his ass right into that bulls---."

    Nothing that us Rockets fan weren't already aware of.

    Jeremy Lin is a mental midget. Kobe talking trash to him and belittling him is going to completely break him down. Lin probably goes to bed crying.

    If any one thought Houston was a nightmare for Jeremy Lin, this must feel like hell x100.

    I would have paid premium $$ for this entertainment.

    Getting it for free just makes it even more fabulous.

    PS. Kobe would not even dare pull this stunt with Patrick Beverley. Beverley would have knocked him out.

    They need to start Swaggy P and Kobe at the same time.
    Lin needs to be leading the bench team

    Yao is currently studying in one of the top 5 universities in China - University of Communication.

    He is a very good student and also a very successful entrepreneur.

    I think to compare him with Lin is so wrong in so many level.

    On a side note,

    the Lin thread at Lakersground had been shut down by their mod, I guess the grass is not always greener at the other side?

    From lakersground's mod on their Lin thread :

    "This thread has been high maintenance from the start, but trying to read through this sea of bickering, personal attacks, trolls, single-topic posters and unreadable nonsense has now officially exhausted my patience and become more trouble than it is worth. I suggest that all of us take a breath and read some other threads. We can re-open the thread when there is something worthwhile to discuss but for now we could all use a break."

    Lin crazies strike again! This is just the beginning for LG until they dump Lin or his contract expires. It is like CF vs LoF's all over again, but since it's no longer happening to use, I am just watching while eating popcorn.

    Wow, Lakersground didn't last half a season with the LOFs. How did we endure years of these freaks posting?
