Idk why Jermey Lin gets hate dude is humble and just stays in his own lane.

[@2winnemm]

He trash I can beat him

[@123FUG33]

He’s Asian. Mayweather said along the lines of “WE have lots of players doing what he’s doing. It’s just because he’s Asian is why he’s getting all this attention.”

[@baddrivers7383]

He's American but if you call him Asian that means Mayweather is African

[@kiroolioneaver8532]

(Totally speculating here) yes some of was because he was an Asian in a sport where many did not exist but (again speculating) for Kobe it might've just been that he was one of the few teammates he had who could hold an accomplishment over him (i.e. being a graduate of Harvard College). It's kind of like a "you don't have to be here, you could get a job on Wall Street or Silicon Valley" but you're also in the NBA whereas for a lot of guys if they didn't have basketball, they'd be nowhere (seems to be the same critique from that anonymous source that Stephen A quoted about Jaylen Brown). You can then hide that (inadequacy?) by pushing those guys and saying they're not desperate enough, they don't want it enough, they're not competitive enough because they have a fallback/plan B. They don't "need" this like you do and so their not willing to put in the work and so you try to get them to quit under the guise of "toughening them up." We all have our insecurities and it's ridiculous to think even the greatest didn't have theirs.

[@robwebnoid5763]

Yup & as Lin said in one interview, he realized he was one of a rare few who stood up to Kobe.

[@49DubsPXK]

Sounds like Kobe was toxic in the locker-room. Consistent with his beefing with Shaq. Call it whatever you like, tough love but he appeared to be mad at the whole world when Shaq finally left and he felt he needed to make sure to let people know its his team and he calling the shots. He wanted everyone to be afraid of him, even his teammates. Literally, started shooting his team out of the games. Wouldn't pass the ball in triple team. Pau Gasol and Odom saved his career. Finally chilled out when he got old.

The “Kobe not speaking to Lin” for the rest of the season narrative pretty much matches accurately to what Lin said on All the Smoke. They both got into it with each other so much that Kobe reached his boiling point, but at least Lin stood up for himself. Glad they both buried the hatchet during Kobe’s final season. RIP Kobe 🙏🙌

To me that's that best way to show respect to someone who doesn't like you. You go to the funeral, but you just don't speak.

[@garyspence2128]

It means that the widow Bryant didn't care to give the parents a minute or two. Right or wrong. She felt like she paid her dues when she stayed with Kobe after that Colorado disaster. She earned that inheritance. Kobe appreciated that too. Vanessa could have taken half his money then, but she stayed for the full value. That's loyalty in a real way...

[@dcaseng]

Kobe was a douchebag, but gets elevated because of his skills. He never respected Lin, and was bitter about the attention Lin was receiving during Linsanity, even pretending he was clueless about it. It's ironic he bragged about getting around in helicopters while everyone else was on a bus.

As a super fan of Kobe. He is probably the reason why I got into basketball. I know plenty of people who ran into him in person and they all said the same thing. He was an ass lol. But I was a fan of the ball player how you are in your personal life should not matter to people as long as its nothing criminal.Too many people worship these celebrities then get disappointed in the type of person they are its like whst you expect you dont know these people. But atleast Kobe was honest he would tell everybody who would listen he was an ass atleast he didn't hide it and I respect that

That's why I don't praise Kobe at all, because, he was never a good teammate & it's always about him. One can say he's one of the greatest basketball players but he's never a good team player & his clutch FG% is below avg. Lin kicked his ass on that Linsanity game & I doubt he ever will forget that, esp after he said he doesn't know who Lin was.
