    LOL

    Jerry Sloan and Greg Popovich would murder him right on the basketball coach for all the stupid turnovers and boneheaded decision he makes.

    Jeremy Lin is a mental midget. There is absolutely no way he would be able to handle that kind of verbal and physical abuse from them.

    LOL. He would be water boy at the Spurs.

    As it is he is the 3rd string PG (4th string according to Clutch and rightly so if you look at it that way) on one of the worst teams in the league in the Lakers

    He is an inferior player to Tony Parker, Cory Joseph and Mills - the 3 Spurs PG's. Where is Lin going to get minutes?

    In fact, I'd like to see that happen. The Lin fans being idiots will start calling Pop racist and a horrible coach responsible for marginalizing Lin hahah

    If Byron Scott thinks Lin is soft just imagine what Jerry Sloan would be saying about Lin.

    His 2nd biggest problem is that his doubters think he SHOULD sustain Linsanity on a regular basis...

    His per36 stats are respectable...his 3pt fg% has improved every year...yes, he turns the ball over, but still has an ast/to ratio of 2:1...

    Being a religious conservative nut bag will do that to you. If Lin doesn't convert to something else, he won't have much success in this jungle.

    This is a perception issue. Coaches are asked more about Lin than most NBA players, and coaches' criticisms are publicized more when they're about Jeremy Lin and not Ronnie Price. Notice how few people cared when Ronnie Price was getting DNP-CDs.

    If there was a bunch of reporters whose sole purpose are to report Brandon Knight, I bet you there'd have been a lot more reports of coaches criticisms of him.

    When you had been called out by Nick Young and suggested a solution : try to pass the ball more.

    You really should consider to quit and move on to another career.

    Don't understand Swaggy's comments, Lin averaged less FGA than most of the starting PGs in the league at less than 9 FGA per game, and he has the most assists on that roster, Lin is playing like a scrub but he ain't selfish like Swaggy is implying

    Swaggy is irrational confidence guy. He thinks he should take every shot.

    Lin also holds the ball more than any other Laker on a per 36min.

    Swaggy is basically saying Lin is playing for himself since its his contract year instead of looking for this team's best interest, I can't imagine the locker room atmosphere after all star break

    You are missing the boat here, from Mark Medina :

    Lin never has never scored less or played less since “Linsanity” took off in New York three years ago. He has never shot so poorly since his rookie season in Golden State five years ago. Lin has never committed so many turnovers in his NBA career as he has this season, overshadowing his career-high in assists and three-point shooting (37.4 percent).

    The fact is this : Lin sucks and he sucks so bad this season, same as the Lakers.

    Its not like he is doing a great job setting up his teammates also in most scenario, as you can tell how upset from some of his teammates and coach, see his TOV numbers.

    The fact is : the Lakers suck collectively, and most of the players are looking to shot every time when they will touch the ball for their stats, for their next contract, well, that eventually will give you a few more assists.

    Lin is not dumb, he should get this and look for his own also, but sadly, he was shooting at a career low and that didn't help.

    When you are a scrub and playing around a group of scrubs, well, that's what you get : the Lakers.

    Selective memory by Lin fans again - lots of coaches get into wars with their players in the press - see Phil Jackson on Kobe 2011:
    Just one of dozens of examples.

    And you are missing my points. My argument is not about whether Lin is a scrub or not, my argument is about whether Lin is selfish or not like Swaggy is implying here.

    WRONG and WRONG

    2.4 TOV/game is the fewest aside from his rookie season.
    4.6 Ast/game is only the 3rd highest.

    Where did you even get that info?
