    I probably misunderstood the intention of the post. Either way, it is a good thing of course. I never look down on contributions to society, I just prioritize basketball more as long a player wears Rockets red personally.

    Yes the league does require players to show up during the Holidays and do some work. Most involve painting old building or picking up rubbish. However setting up a charity in your name and doing much more than said above is beyond the league's mandate.

    There isn't anything wrong with that. I value on and off the court contribution equally just in a different way. If he sucks on the court, well, he can continue his charity work just on a different team;)

    And Dwight picks random women around the US and provides for them for up to 18 years.

    Right on. It is well known that there are idiots who pretend to be Lin fans to talk craps here in order to stir up the pot. I am actually surprised that some people are so dense that they keep falling for the trick of those idiots. Sad story.

    Until Clutch finally snaps and decides to take out the garbage (ban remaining LoF's and trolls), it is going to happen and keep happening. Basically, they have already came in our house and flung their poo everywhere and now we are dealing with the overwhelming stench.

    Y'all can't even give props or comment about the actual thread topic without mentioning the LOF vs LOH bull****? Is it that hard?

    Everything becomes LOH vs LOF. Actually chenjy9, you are becoming a part of that garbage you are talking about. You are also one of those fanning the flame. Why not just tell us where you stand and let the moderators do their work? It's the reason why we have moderators in the forum after all... Or Clutch isn't enough?

    So often we have fake Lin fans (some people call them Lin trolls) who are so obviously just sitting here to flame the other posters. If someone tries too hard to make inflammatory posts, use your common sense and ignore the idiot. Keep in mind that the idiot is probably laughing his ass off while you are pulling your hair over what he wrote.

    Hard to tell because some LoF's are genuinely that stupid. I just wish the mods were more active in banning these idiots.

    I don't know about you. To me most of them are very obvious simply because they try too hard to be as outrageous as possible.

    Maybe if you stopped trolling so hard in all the threads there might be fewer of them. Smh

    Good to see that Jeremy is helping the kids of Houston. Also a good video to show to the other non Texas Lin fans that Houston is full of international people.

    Or maybe they can all just leave and leave us in peace. Sorry, but I don't coddle pests, I stomp on them.
