The Great Kemba vs Jeremy Lin Debate

[DY_nasty]

Funny thing is, I actually DO think Lin has got a raw deal for most of his time in the league. At the same time though, its impossible to justify Lin getting the ball as much as he should in some cases.

shame some people can't argue a case well

[quote="yosemiteben"][quote="penquin11"][quote="yosemiteben"]Sub 35% 3PT%. Sub 80% FT%. Less than 2:1 a:to ratio. Honestly I expected better than that. Pretty far behind the Nash comp.

Yeah I'm probably done with this thread too.

Yeah because 34.9% (3pt %) is so far behind 35%. And 79.9% is so far from 80%.

It's one thing to point out that Lin isn't the passer that Nash is. It's another to nit-pick numbers to the tenth of a percentage.[/quote]
Nash was well above 35% and 80% respectively. I was more pointing out that Lin's numbers were borderline below average for a starting caliber PG, much less good comps for Nash.[/quote]

So what we've proved is that Lin is not Nash and Nash is not Lin.

For last season not career...[/quote]
Not sure what the point of that list was, like half of those guys aren't starters or are also below average in the categories you listed them for.

This aside started with the silly claim that Lin put up numbers his first five seasons that compared favorably to Nash, which is pretty obviously not true.

Guys, sogood and juancesta are trolls, don't take them seriously! (and don't feed them of course)

They are the only ones talking about Lin in the same sentence as Curry and Nash. Now we don't know if Lin will turn out to be like them, but this is obviously trolling, don't fall for it!

OTOH, we'd do well to have a warning for sogood as well.

Man, their dark art of deception has dramatically improved by continuous obsessive hating, one must admit that it's really quite impressive. Never underestimate the power of the dark side.

Post a link right now to where I compared Lin to Curry or Nash and I will paypal you 500 dollars.

I'll wait.

I never said you individually did that, just as a part of a side that did.

@ Choke

Thanks for your concern, but you do not need to backseat mod. If you have a problem with a post, then flag the post and we will take a look. Posts like this do more harm than good. Last warning.

I've had enough of this thread. Its getting locked. Nothing but problems, between the trolls, back seat moderating and outlandish claims. This thread is pointless and Master Ichiro should have never started it.
