Feel sad for Jeremy Lin. He really feels down that no one is showing interest for him. He literally cried while delivering a statement about NBA giving up on him in front of a large audience. Even coming out on a championship, Lin doesn't feel his championship ring since he thinks he didn't deserve it.
And that became the saddest part of NBA right now. You have a ring, but doesnt have a salary for a year? Worse, you love playing the game but no one is trying to give you minutes again to showcase your skills. Just dont know why an explosive guy like Jeremy Lin will be benched like that. He can do "no look" pass and shoot with a high percentage. Can also penetrate the paint. Just what the hell is the reason behind the sudden dip of this guy. He is just 30 and they say his being "Linsanity" is over. Urgh!

First time to see an NBA player cry infront of camera because of his situation on how he's depressed and thinks that the league has given him up. And recently getting the championship is just sadder because of the lack of appreciation for him. This man should start making up himself and building a better Lin. I'm sure we'll see him comeback.

That's just the life of basketball, you don't make decision but the management. It's not that he is not a good player, maybe there are other players that are better than him and can fit with the system, also the management are trying to invest in the younger once so they can develop. Linsanity is still here but people forget because he was not able to maintain it, he played in different teams after the NYK and hasn't showed that.

Too bad for him but this is the truth. I know through his press conference he's trying to get sympathy from the nba fans and I think he perfectly did it. And at the same time, this can also be his farewell. With all of the memes that was made about him, many have laughed and I guess most of them are feeling sorry about him now. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

Also, he is not the only player that loss their career in NBA, there's lots of them but they move on and look for another opportunity outside NBA.

How will it not be over if they keep of NOT giving him any minutes. He cannot showcase anything if the management itself is not putting him in the floor. Now, the problem becomes larger. He doesnt have a team. Should he go to D League for now to beat the hell out of those players there just for the remaining years of his career? He is just 30 and they say his being "Linsanity" is over. Urgh!

Same with what happens with others who just got months of injuries but yet forgotten. But yet, it is still unfair in my sight. Other superstars go thru years of injuries but yet still offered a good number. The media also have a contribution to all of this.

Just dont know why an explosive guy like Jeremy Lin will be benched like that. He can do "no look" pass and shoot with a high percentage. Can also penetrate the paint. Just what the hell is the reason behind the sudden dip of this guy.
He is just 30 and they say his being "Linsanity" is over. Urgh!
Maybe you are not seeing what the coaches are seeing. Maybe he can shoot and make those fancy passes but there are so many aspects of the game that he may be lacking from the coaches point of view. It's also not like he's a unique or once in a lifetime player.

--snip-- Should he go to D League for now to beat the hell out of those players there just for the remaining years of his career? I think he has a better chance and more money if he goes to China. Just follow the trend. If you can't get in on NBA, then try China and get some great pay. It is never over for him yet. There are instances that players are out of work for years and still make a come back. Just look at Gerald Green, he was out of work before Houston Rockets got him on the team.

There are instances that players are out of work for years and still make a come back. Just look at Gerald Green, he was out of work before Houston Rockets got him on the team. I say Euro League. He might fit there. Most of the NBA players go there for money. Look at Allen Iverson, although his reason is when the management is trying to make him as second stringer (which he didn't like). More of a Carmelo Anthony story like. Maybe you are not seeing what the coaches are seeing. Maybe he can shoot and make those fancy passes but there are so many aspects of the game that he may be lacking from the coaches point of view. It's also not like he's a unique or once in a lifetime player.
Don't do that. Fans wont cheer for him at his best if he aint unique. He can explode for so many times just like how superstars do it and also have his off nights which superstars also have. Still it doesnt make sense for me. I will look deeper to what analysts would say about this.

There could be some reasons why the management or the coaching staff didn't gave him that much time. It's likely that he doesn't have confidence with them. About his career, with what I've heard he's going back to China and will play for a team there right? Don't know the full details or that's just a rumor. He understands that he can't force himself anymore on NBA and I think this will also lead to some other chinese players not to take chance anymore on the league if ever they will be asked to come and join.

He was injured and wasn't able to get the needed exposure again after leaving New York Knicks. Yes, he has a lot of basketball ahead of him and maybe he can still shows some glimpse of Linsanity fever again. China is a good option, we have seen lots of ex-NBA players goes to CBA after their career in NBA.

Maybe he thought he still belong in the star level in the NBA as he has some good moments in the past with Linsanity, but it was just a hype, Lin can't carry a team to bring it to the playoffs. He had some good playing time with the Lakers, and was not able to show the way he showed with the Knicks.

The team manages the minutes of the players based on his contribution, he has limited minutes because he hasn't contributed well. We just have to move on and at least he's part of Raptors history of taking their first ever championship.
He was not recognize for that and I think he himself felt he didn't contribute for that championship. People will recognized him as the Linsanity, and that will live forever especially for the Asians since there's only few Asians that made a name in the NBA.

Ok guys I just has this thought last night. I was watching Zion W. highlights in youtube and I was amazed by this kid, he was also a freak in nature. So this lead me to question the NBA fans here.
Which do you think is more gifted overall? The Greek Freak - Giannis or Zion who even though is too heavy at 285 lbs but can freely move around, jumps so high for a dunk and even a block and very very agile for his frame?

We will never know unless Zion play with the big boys. The NBA is very different from college basketball, we have seen a lot of high potential picks in the previous years that went bust when they enter the league. I remember Darius Miles, very athletic in his college days, dunking on everyone, however, when he enter the league, he still have the same game, but we all know that you can't just jump over any players in the NBA, it's not that sustainable and you need to developed. So we need to see how Zion's body will react to the 80++ games in the NBA and see if he can still maintain that athleticism.

Yeah you can't really compare the reigning mvp to someone, though obviously gifted, that hasn't been tried before. The summer league is a hell lot different from the actual season. The highlights you're seeing in youtube is against boys compared to the actual competition when the likes of kawhi or pat beverly is in his face.

Which do you think is more gifted overall? The Greek Freak - Giannis or Zion who even though is too heavy at 285 lbs but can freely move around, jumps so high for a dunk and even a block and very very agile for his frame?
Zion have some moves. No doubt about that. But, both are good in their own ways. The length of Giannis gave him more oppotunity to touch the rim even if we think it is impossible. Zion on the other hand have that strength and agility even with that kind of figure. But if we will only choose one, I will still go for Giannis. The room for improvement is way too large and he already have the perfect body. While Zion will need a large amount of weight loss which in that country is not easy to do.

Don't do that. Fans wont cheer for him at his best if he aint unique. He can explode for so many times just like how superstars do it and also have his off nights which superstars also have. Still it doesnt make sense for me. I will look deeper to what analysts would say about this.
He ain't unique mate. The last time I saw fans really cheering for him was during his Linsanity stint with the Knicks. He had a little break when Melo got injured and he took advantage of it which is good for him. After that, he wasn't able to elevate or adjust his game. NBA is a tough league where players fight for position, it's either you shape up or ship out. If your current form doesn't impress the coaches, then you're on your way out. Which do you think is more gifted overall? The Greek Freak - Giannis or Zion
When you compare them now, It's the Greek Freak. When you compare them when the freak entered the league, I'd say they're pretty much equal.
