Basketball is a mentality thing and the NBA's unfairness to him is extremely hard to deal with. You do realize even in college, he was super good. He's in fken Harvard, studied his ass off and still became an impressive basketball prospect. Yet no one even bothered to draft him because of his race. And all those years in the NBA, barely anyone has ever truly supported him. So no, him being terrible is not his fault, he deserves to be in the NBA and treated as fairly as any other decent player.

He was on 8 separate NBA teams and failed to make the cut. He was given 8 separate chances. He was not wronged, he is an average to below average NBA player. He is not NBA material.

[@LunarPrism34]

@@odinuniverse797 Both Lin and Thomas are better than a lot of current 2nd/3rd string players in the current NBA. I mean, Scalabrine was in the NBA for 10 years. Lin was in it for 8, regardless of his immensely superior performance, and the same with Thomas. Sure, if they were asking for more money like Kapernick, I could understand why they aren't on a team. But neither Thomas nor Lin are asking for anything remotely big when it comes to contracts. It's just unfortunate circumstances that happened with the both of them, rather than being failures as players. Again, plenty of current NBA players that are worse than both of them.

[@odinuniverse797]

@@LunarPrism34 Isiah Thomas has not been performing well for the past three years and so he was cut. Lin was an average to below average NBA player playing arguably the most important role in basketball, Point Guard. Brian was playing PF and Center and it is likely that he was on the teams that he was on because he went extremely hard in practices, giving the starters higher quality practices. His stats are so poor that it is very likely that he was primarily a practice roster player. There are not plenty of NBA players that are worse than Thomas and Lin. There are plenty of NBA players that are young and are still learning the ropes and have the potential to be amazing. Lin and Thomas are not young and they have already learnt the ropes. And they are average to below average at this very moment. Big difference.

I've come to accept that neither Thomas or Lin will land a team because of the circumstances surrounding their respective careers, but I'll die on that hill. I'm not implying they'd randomly become stars that bring a team to a ring, but rather implying that they'd make an impact higher than certain players currently in the NBA (excluding younger ones, since I can understand that point)

If he was white or black he would be just another of the pack but all he really had to do was play decent and Asian fans treated him like he was Jordan and spent big money on him. He had more game than Booker while not even being as good as Booker and you think him being asian played no parts in that ? If jimmer fredette was asian they would have called him the next Lebron over there and that guy would have made as much money as Lin 😂😂😂 overrating someone just because they’re the same race or background as you doesn’t make them good just because you think they are. Lin simply isn’t that good anymore and at 32 years old and I don’t see him playing in the league again. People only see the good in having Lin on teams like the jersey sales that comes with it and all the fan support from Asia but being a Raptors fans there’s a bad side that comes with it like the media from China trying to tell our coach to make Lin the focal point of the offense and just strange questions like asking teammates what did they learn about China from Lin.

Yes, this was up front in my mind. HOWEVER, taken altogether, it still doesn't make sense because Jeremy doesn't need to be signed to be a team's franchise player, or a starter who needs to play 30+ minutes a game, every game (which I think he was doing in the G-League for the games he did play in anyways). If he simply comes off the bench and provides solid offense/ball movement and defense, that would be an instant upgrade for several teams in the League, right?

Jeremy Lin announced today that he will be returning to play in Asia. Apparently, he has until the end of the regular season to get picked up by someone. I hope his announcement draws out some potential teams to sign him. I'm a fan and would love to see the Lin we got when he was with the Hornets or the Nets. He was ballin' then. Unfortunately, he's 32, injury prone and his last effort in Toronto was not great to say the least.

[@robwebnoid5763]

I think he just did not fit in Toronto. There was a feeling he lost confidence in ATL & by the time he got to the Raptors, he just felt uncomfortable & awkward. There was really no good buzz. Of course the buzz coming to Toronto was here comes that player that made a big thing as a Knick vs Raptors with that final buzzer beater. But that was about it. And he was still trying to get over his last big injury from 2 years prior.

[@Paulman2]

Just to clarify, the closest report from (now yesterday) is what I think you were referring to: "Jeremy Lin was asked at the Collision press conference about potentially playing in Europe, but steered his focus on going back and playing in Asia. "My impact in Asia is something that I feel like I need to continue to work towards."" twitter.com/diamond83/status/1384928509890646019 So I think it was more in the context of would he go to Europe (or back to Asia). As you alluded to, I read that technically he still has before May 18th or thereabouts to get signed, because that's when the play-ins start (and the regular season ends).

This is a great point. China has a TON of influence on the NBA, and it's possible they didn't appreciate being slighted by Lin when he turned down that fat contract. Lin could try and hold out for a NBA contract, but in 2-3 years he would still dominate in China, draw massive crowds and generate millions, so China is content to sit back and wait. What China wants, China gets.

[@iamkailong]

He is a 32 years old player that for the most part is just above average starter in nba at his young. I am not saying he cannot play in nba, his skill is definitely gonna hold up. However, there are so much talent to develop for every team. He is not offering what old star player such as howard or rondo are providing, and he doesn't have a future like a lot of young talents. Consider everything, have Lin in your main team just doesn't worth it. It won't be a bad choice for those team, but it won't be a good choice.

You can't tell me that Jeremy Lin isn't good enough to lead a second unit off the bench on any modern NBA team. This guy is so talented. In this modern NBA high tempo system, his play style is beneficial. On top of that, he is such low risk to locker room tension. Is high work ethic and humility makes it feel like a relatively small gamble to give him a veteran minimum contract and make it clear you need and efficient 12 and 4 from him playing combo guard off the bench.

[@vladrek]

As a J Lin fan: Why would bottom tier teams get him? Why not let your young talent play, hopefully get better, you finish lower, get higher draft picks? If any team would want him, it's the middle of the pack teams that are on the cusp of playoffs. But even then you gotta ask is he going to improve the team? The guard positions are very competitive as is. But the video itself doesn't address it either, which is just the most obvious and logical answer for any org in the NBA.

[@J31495]

The mental maturity doesn’t help much when his older legs (and reduced lateral quickness) just fail to keep up with most of young guards. Lin, while a great offensive player, is not great enough to offset his defensive liability, very tough to fit into any lineup at this pt.

A couple things that weren’t mentioned in this video. 1) of the 60 starting PG/SG in the NBA how many of them would you bench for Lin? 2) of the 60 starting PG/SG in the NBA how many of them would you trust Lin to guard 1 on 1? 3) how effective is Lin in catch and shoot situations? 4) how well does Lin move off the ball? 5) what kind of play-off veteran leadership does he have to offer? 6) how good is he at fight over picks? I could go on but I’m sure you get my point. Yes, Jeremy Lin is really good playing in the CBA against players who wouldn’t last in an NBA setting. Yes, he played really well in the G-League against players who aren’t ready for the NBA. Yes, he can score nearly exclusively while on the ball but what NBA team doesn’t already have a player who can do that? I like Lin but the reason he isn’t in the NBA is because there are better players starting at his position and there are players who are catch and shoot 3 and D guys that fit the need of NBA teams better than he does. They didn’t ask him to go the G-League to prove he can recapture Linsanity they sent him there to see if he developed other aspects of his game that he clearly hasn’t. The NBA has not failed Lin, Lin failed himself.
