His friend didn't just die. JR is the reason he died.

Felton was their man.

if knicks lost the bird rights case i think they lose lin, because we would have to use the full mle to match the houston offer which would hard cap them and not allow any other moves.

Lmao how is ibraheim crossing the line.. everyday JR walks this earth, he's been crossing the line and got a free pass.. why because he think he's some basketball god?

Even Dallas let Steve Nash walk, and after all these years....who has the ring?


Cuban acknowledge that was the biggest mistake he ever made. Bad example.

And they won a chip, and were robbed by the refs in another. It worked out well for him.

Yao sold him on Houston and Lin ate it up.


I haven't spoken on Melo or J.R, but if you question Lin's character before questioning Melo's or J.R's given their history, I don't know what to tell you. Use some common sense.

I think we should have seen this coming. Why do you think the Knicks went after Steve Nash?? Nash wasn't going to come off the bench. Lin was going to lose his starter position anyway or be gone.

Who stepped into the car? Getting into a car with a drunk driver is just as reckless and irresponsible as driving drunk.

You crossing the line. A life was loss and you making jokes because of Lin?


I'm making a point to not defend or prop up a guy who's irresponsibility cost his friend his LIFE...

Now how the hell is that a joke??????

I bet if JR said we must bring him back at all costs you would be.
Some posters on here are going to far. Period. What happened to JR's friend was bad, and there was no need to bring that up right now.

Wait

Wait wait wait wait...

Are you implying that his friend was somehow also to blame for dying?
