    I know more about both players than you do. I watched them play as Rockets.
    Yao is perennial all star and is in the basketball hall of fame and got his number retired.

    Lin is none of that. like ZERO. 0. NONE

    I do Agee that Yao was elite but Lin is not zero. Lin at times looks borderline allstar.

    Najera impact on the teams he's on was no where near both Yao and Lin. The Mexicans got many top Baseball players and Soccer stars that are their sports hero. Also they love their Lucha Libre stars.

    Yao was a great Rocket
    Lin was one of the worst rockets

    Yao is tops but Lin was not 0 for the rockets. He scored 38 Pts and had a triple double coming off the bench once. Even Harden gave Lin praise on the triple double from the bench.

    Is this a school picture of your daughter that you impose Lin's face on the picture?

    Lin was zero. One good game doesn't qualify you as having a successful year.
    He was demoted as the starting point guard and that was the right thing to do.

    If it makes you happy I'll give Lin a .00000000000000000000001

    Lin got his triple double for a rockets win after he became the 6th man.

    The Miami Heat was very upset with the Nets for resting Brook-Lin against the Bulls and taking away any chance for them to make it to the playoffs.

    Lin is a game changer in the eyes of the Heat. They witnessed it first hand in their playoffs against the Hornets last season. The Hornets did not make the playoffs without Lin this season.

    Lin does not sucks.

    The rockets have existed for over 50 years
    What Lin did in the history of the Rockets
    Was nothing
    And his fans were never real rockets fans either
    Zeros

    Take a deep breath and forget about Lin's fans. Lin was not like many other rockets that came and move on to play better for their new teams. Let's wait and see what happens in his second and maybe his third since he has a player opt with the nets. Will Lin become like Dragic and Lowry.

    3 years removed from the Rockets and this is what it has come to for Airemy Lin.

    Starting PG for by far the WORST team in the league.

    [​IMG]

    He has been absolutely disgraceful.

    McHale was an idiot but he gets credit for getting one thing right:

    Demoting Jeremy Lin and starting Beverley in his place.

    I mean seriously, even that idiot saw how much of a scrub Airemy is! lulz...

    No you are wrong on all fronts. Lin is a lot better than how you are characterizing him.

    Lin is a good NBA basketball player and have put up 12 and 5 in his career playing against some of the best players in the world. That is not sucking or a scrub as you have label him. Everyone that matters in the NBA not including you and others like tinman have praise Lin's basketball skills and helping his teammates improve.

    The worst part is that he is not some young player we are talking about.

    The guy has been in the league for 7 years and keeps getting worse.

    I dont understand how this scrub can have such a poor work ethic.

    If anything, he should have learned a thing or two from Beverley while he was sucking in Houston..

    Beverley worked hard and look where he is now.

    Lin kept scrubbing and look where he is now.

    Truly sad.
