So sadJeremy Lin is now in Houston :( #Knicks bad
Jeff Yang sums everything up in this Wall Street Journal article.
A few weeks of Linsanity was enough to make a dent in decades of myths and misperceptions, to stretch out tired old stereotypes. It was enough to forge a brand new reality, in which the biggest hero in Gotham wasn’t Batman, but a charmingly goofy nerdthlete with a self-deprecating sense of humor and a killer instinct on the court — our own Dork Knight, if you will. It was enough to turn oblivious parents, ambivalent spouses and sarcastic little sisters into instant — Linstant?
Linsanity’s next chapter is down South, in a welcoming city with a Yao-shaped hole, on a team that has amply proven its appreciation of his talents and his value, both on and off the court.
Carmelo Anthony, he of the bulging wallet and empty ring fingers, called his contract “ridiculous.” J.R. Smith, a last-minute addition to the squad, suggested that Lin didn’t deserve the money, since he hadn’t been “doing it that long.” Neither apparently spoke with a trace of self-consciousness or irony. It was enough for some — like Bay Area broadcaster and longtime Lin fan Brian Tong — to wonder at the reasons for the double standard. “You don’t hear those guys say anything about other peers who have even more ridiculous contracts than Lin’s,” he notes.
“This shouldn’t have happened,” says Terry Park, a Ph.D. candidate at UC-Davis who’s already changed his Facebook profile picture to Jeremy in a Rockets jersey. “Classic Knicks move! In February, the Knicks almost let Lin go for nothing. Several months later, a winning streak later, an excited fan base later, millions of Linsanity dollars later, the Knicks…let him go for nothing.”
By shopping at the Antique Roadshow — Jason Kidd, Marcus Camby, Kurt Thomas! — the Knicks are building a competitive team for the 1990s.
EVERYONE was rooting for Jeremy Lin, including fans of opposing teams! Just look what Miami Heat Dancer Julianne. We’re sure that didn’t sit well with ball hog Carmelo Anthony. Lin carried that team to worldwide excitement and wins while Anthony was with a leg injury. Now the Knicks will go back to being the blah, boring, losing team we’ve become accustomed to. Shame! Will ticket prices drop back down to their old, unsold price? lol

TRUST MEE, HE WILL BE MUCH HAPPIER IN THE END!! WHEN YUE ARE A BIG FISH IN A BIG POND THE OTHER FISH FISH YOU AND KILL AND YOU=THAT IS MOST LIKELY WHAT HAPPENED!! THE TEAM CONSPIRES TO GET RID OF YOU BC THEY ARE JEALOUS AND DO NOT WANT ONE MAN OR WOMAN STEALING THE SPOTLIGHT, ESPECIALLY WEN YOU ARE THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK!! TRUST MEE, I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE!! WOMEN ARE FAR WORSE THAN MEN WEN IT COMES TO THAT!! SEW WHAT DO I DO ABOUT IT YUE ASK?? ALWAYS COMPLAIN THAT YOU ARE FAT, UGLY, NOT TALENTED AND HAVE NO MONEY AND PICK A REAL OR IMAGINARY PERSON TO WORSHIP IN ORDER TO GET THE REST OF THE TEAM TO LOVE LOVE LOVE YUE TO DEATH!! THERE IS A REAL REASON BEHIND THE TERM SKINNY BLONDE BITCH BC WEN YOU ARE OUT OF SHAPE, A BIT OVERWEIGHT OR JUST PLAIN FAT AND HAVE MOUSY BROWN HAIR OR HAIR THAT IS DULL AND NOT SUPERSHINY, YOU ARE NOT A THREAT TO ANYONE ANYWHO BUT THE MINUTE YOU START HIGHLIGHTING YOUR HAIR AND GLOSSING IT, WORKING OUT AND DIETING TO LOSE THE LBS=WATCH OUT FOR THE KNIVES BC AT LEAST ONE IS BOUND TO STAB YUE TO YOUR DEMISE!! 🙂

Many red, when faced with negative circumstances, break down, look around them, and usually compare their circumstances to those of more successful people in society.

NICE OBSERVATION BUT I REALLY DON’T THINK THAT THE KNICKS OR JEREMY LIN WERE GUILTY OF THAT!! 🙁 WEN ONE PERSON REACHES GREAT HEIGHTS AT THE EXPENSE OF HIS TEAMMATES, IT IS ONLY HUMAN NATURE THAT THE OTHER PLAYERS GET CLOSER AS A RESULT AND LOOK TO KICK THAT “BAD GUY” OFF THE TEAM!! UNFORTUNATELY, JEALOUSY IS A VERY UGLEE EMOTION THAT CONSUMES MOST PEOPLE AND MOST HIGHLY COMPETITIVE INDIVIDUALS LIKE YUE MOST WEN YUE ARE DOWN!! WOMEN ARE WORSE THAN NFL FOOTBALL PLAYERS WEN IT COMES TO COMPETING FOR LIFE’S PRIZES AND WILL JUST ABOUT KILL “THE SKINNY BLONDE BITCH” “ENEMY” AT ANY COST!! STUDIES HAVE BEEN PROVEN THAT WOMEN IN GENERAL ARE MUCH SWEETER TO UNATTRACTIVE AND OVERWEIGHT WOMEN BC THEY DON’T CONSIDER THEM TO BE A THREAT!! IF YUE DON’T BELIEVE MEE, READ “PSYCHOLOGY TODAY” AND “THE SCIENCE JOURNAL” REGARDING HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY AND BEHAVIOR. 🙁
