Not In The Face - The Jeremy Lin Thread 3 + 1

[ChokeFasncists]

I wouldn't gloat too much about Lin being invited to this World Economic forum as some proudfull accomplishment to parade over other NBA players....Some of these guys were responsible for the Wall Street crash and economic crisis and I doubt they care too much about the average Americans.

I would rather Lin not attend this forum and find time for other meaningful stuff to do...Go work on your jump shot or something.

Well, doing that might get him so endorsement tho, that's not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing to rest his body too, he's got ankle and back injuries during the season.

[bws94]

Did Lin officially opt out or is it just being assumed he did? Does he have a latest date he could opt out?

I'm assuming he has after seeing it widely reported by over a dozen of legitimate news media sources.

July 1st is around the corner, NBA Draft in a few days.

[Flip Murray]

I love to see that Hornets gear in China. JLin putting in that global basketball ambassador work this summer. He should be picking up a check directly from the league office

Jeremy Lin Q&A after sharing his story at Fudan University Shanghai

[13th Man]

It's funny if you google Jeremy Lin, every day has a different rumor of him potentially going to different teams. We'll see what happens early July.

So I have to ask... Do you just go on Twitter and search Jeremy Lin and post random peoples tweets about him... I get your a big fan, but this seems like overkill.

You may want to just start a blog about him or something because this a bit stalker like lol.

More power to you I guess for taking the time to search and post all these.

Nah, I'm not searching anything. I'm not even really a social media user. The last time I ran a twitter search was during the the failed Green Revolution in Iran and the Arab Spring period when I was following events as they unfolded, since twitter was one of the only reliable sources due to the chaotic situation and media oppression over there.

I'm just copying and pasting from the Lin-centric sites. You have a huge fanbase with the distributed man-power to scour the net and social media to collect and collate all this stuff. I'm just the guy copying and pasting stuff others have collected and collated. That's the advantage of a huge fan base, tons of people scouring the net and social media to collect info and archive it in a central location. I'm just copying and pasting and passing it along.

I think Lin is done in Charlotte. Do you guys like me here? Mind if I stick around and poke my nose in every so often to cheer on Kemba and the team?

Lin probably gets 10 mill plus somewhere looking at what's in the buzz. The Hornets won't be the same next season, but still will be exciting and if Marv and Batum are back, that's at least 2 of the big FAs. 3, with the inclusion of Lin, would have been awesome to try to go at it again. But it doesn't look like it is in the cards now.

I hope you're wrong but if he goes you definitely need to check back in. I'd be sad to see some of you guys go. For sure though come participate in the game threads when we're in the Finals next year lol. Hornets vs. Lin finals? you never know

You're always welcome. I'm hoping a few Lin fans end up as long-time Hornets fans regardless of where he plays going forward.

You never know what will happen in the NBA. I don't expect to this happen, but we very well could trade Kemba to Sacramento for Cauley-Stein and Collison and tell Lin the starter's job is his. I'd be shocked, but crazier things have happened.
