Shaq thinking about Dwight Howard in Taiwan so often that his train of thought led him to remembering Lin đ
Unironically true
Racist
rent free
Dwight still building his legacy..
shaq is what 50 something and heâs still spending his time in a petty drama that heâs still whining about with dwight. heâs being a massive crybaby over something so small when he has everything in life.
Ben Simmons is a better example for Shaq to use. Nobody ever called Jeremy Lin a franchise player.
Good point. Simmons was a #1 draft pick... now playing like a fool. Lin surprised everyone as he came out of nowhere.
Be simmons was good first 3 years don't know what happens after 2021
â@breezy Ben was given the green light too early. He was a coach killer and the reason Butler wanted out of Philly.
Lin had to work 100x as hard as any NBA player to get recognition and earn himself a place in the NBA. His worldly brand is as big as any NBA legend and Lin is the definition of one of the greatest sports stories of all time
So good he's out of the rotation
lin was literally 1 game away from being out the league, then was the best player in the league for 2 weeks, then continued to play for 9 more seasons. he did more than 90% of nba players ever will
Lin was never the best player in the league. Ever
@@vamoneygroup i bet you are still a 10 year old
@@georgemichaelgeollina2233 So you can't challenge my point so you insult me. Just stop it. Lin had 11 good games and that's it. He was able to stay in the nba because he was popular with Asians.
@@vamoneygroup nope i can challenge your point. He was the best player in the league for those two weeks he had on February 2012. In that timespan the knicks had a 7 game winning streak without melo. It is one thing to look at the stat sheet and another to actually watch the game. The reason he became the best player at that time is because he came out of nowhere and teams were baffled how great he played and those team he played against had no gameplan against Lin. Beside he had nothing to lose at that time because he was getting kick out of the league if he did not blow up at that time. After those two week teams started to figure him out and that was the end of the Linsanity.
You on the other hand had no point to begin with, stating a an empty statement with no facts to back it up. I bet your favorite analyst is Skip Bayless because all you can do is hate on a player without actually watching and analyzing the game
â@@georgemichaelgeollina2233 ... And let's also not forget that Lin was still a mere rookie during Linsanity, with at most 1 ok playing season before 2011-2012, while those players who "exposed" him, as some were calling it, were already in the league for a decade or more. That would be like Lin being an elementary school 2nd grader being bullied by highschool 10th or 12th graders & yet Lin was able to hold his own against them as a 2nd grader in those 2 months of Linsanity, as Linsanity wasn't just about the 7-game win streak (although there was also a 6-game loss streak & 5-game win streak after). And that included not being a hyped-up player going into the NBA. We also have to remember that Lin did not ask for Linsanity. Just like him, Linsanity also came out of nowhere. As mentioned, he was just desperate to stay in the league after being traded twice, including not even getting a scholarship after being the top high school senior player in N.California. And to think that years later he could have returned to GSW in 2020, to be reunited with Steph Curry, but that didn't happen. Who brings a 10-year vet to the minor leagues? Smh. The hype of Linsanity 2.0 alone, not including the hype of his return/homecoming back to the Bay area to play again, would have been huge, especially when it was exactly 10 years since he was with GSW. Lin is currently playing in Taiwan, his parents' home country, as a Steeler, after his stint in China & is still putting up decent numbers, like another 38-point high, just as he did the 38 points as a Knick & 38 points as a Rocket. Just weird that it's the number 38 for some reason, heh. But one thing for sure, he doesn't have to put up with racism & stereotyping where he is currently playing, while he got loads of that in the country where he was born. If anything, Jeremy's short mission with the Knicks was to bring them back up to 0.500 so they could have a post-season, when they had a drought 8 of 10 seasons before he came along. And then the Knicks got another near-decade drought after he left. Yes they were successful the next year without him, but that was about it, then it was 7 years straight of nothing.
Jeremy Lin is and always has been an underdog. Never did anything to anyone. Just a nice guy.
yea I'm a nice guy too, but we talking about basketball here

Jeremy Lin is a player that gave us a dream to make it to the NBA. He took every opportunity, and he worked hard to reach that level. Sure, he's not the superstar like the Kobe and MJs, but everyone's story to be part of the NBA has a meaning.
Gave who a dream???
@@3nim3nimabl3 Many Asian Americans obviously.
â@@3nim3nimabl3 J.Cole lol
He was respected. He blew up and people blew his streak out of proportion. Shaq was being real. Black athletes have been through hell. What about the black athletes that prospered through the trauma and atrocities of racism. Jeremy Lin is receiving more acclaim than the black athletes that prospered through hell on and off the court..
@@michaelmoore3373 Jeremy Lin was an inspiration to many.Cant draw the race card when it comes to basketball,it's an African American dominated sport..Asians are the minority there.What acclaim did Lin get?You know in his draft class he outperformed a lot of his peers by the tests but went undrafted primarily due to his ethnicity.The GM for the Houston Rockets admitted it,that Lin met and exceeded their metrics but passed on him because he's Chinese.
Nobody is calling Jeremy Lin a great scorer Shaq. The reason he got SI is because his story was so incredible and he broke all expectations in 2 weeks. He will always be a legend in the NBAđ„

Right On Sir. đđ€đ

Jeremy Lin beat the odds as an Asian-American kid who played basketball at an Ivy League school and ended up on the Madison Square Garden floor balling out. And Lin got to Play with Kobe Bryant. Shaq used to be good on TV. It's hard to watch Shaq without Chuck or Ernie around
What an inspirational storyđ
So much truth here with the last statement. Chuck makes that show.
Shaq been watching Dwight in Taiwan too much đ. Started thinking of Lin.
Exactly what Iâm thinking!! Lol
FYI Lin also playing in Taiwan now đ
rent free in his headđ
why is he watching Dwight? sorry out of the loop
I'm happy to hear Lin is still even mentioned. Extremely few people could do something in the NBA that is still thought of 12 years later.
LOL, it's not a good comparison. Shaq is basically calling JLin a flash in the pan. Another comparison would be Bobby Hurley.
đ
Jeremy Lin only gets the press he does because he's not of African descent. Jeremy Lin's career stats are comparable to Raymond Felton and Ramon Sessions.. Thousands of players have had better careers. That's Shaq's point. He had a hot streak the year he averaged 14 alongside Melo & Amare and everyone hyping him today are the same ones that suggested New York should relieve Melo & Amare of their stardom and lean on Jeremy Lin.. You guys are the reason they traded him that same year.
@@michaelmoore3373 and why do people act like thatâs such a horrible reason? Dude was one of the first Asian nba players. Yeah, heâs probably overrated because of the run, but thatâs not the only reason why. Itâs because he was a beacon for all the other Asian players trying to hoop. Just trying to play ball and not be denied or ignored for their race. I understand that there are countless other players who have had better careers. But heâs unique because he still inspired even without being a career 30 point per night scorer.
@@TapC14 Asians aren't denied because of their race.. The best of the best make it to the NBA. Lin was hyped up by the media, as well as Asians. Meanwhile, black players like Cam Thomas, Colin Sexton, Jordan Clarkson, Tyreek Evans, Lou Will, Jamal Crawford and countless others have been relegated to a bench role despite being proven 20+ per game scorers. And the excuse is always nonsense like they're a 6th man or a microwave or some bs like that. They're stars but they don't want too many beacons for people of African decent. Others are alarmed when a large group of people of African decent are working together being great. And you say Jeremy Lin's unique?? What does that make the athletes of African decent that pioneered the inclusion of other races and the beginning of black athletes dominating a league run by racists
What a random reference to Lin. Dude had a solid career in the NBA for years.
Jeremy Lin was not good
@@vamoneygroup you do not have to lie here he had a very solid run just look at his stats when given the mins to play
@@vamoneygroupyo mom is not good đ
Shadâs dig on Jlin7 was completely uncalled for. Jeremyâs story gained him fans worldwide. I would say heâs still better than many point guards out there!!
Jeremy Lin was never supposed to be a "great player". He ceiling was good player. He just caught lightning in a bottle that took the world by storm for a month. But once the hype died down, he still had a solid NBA career.
He still won a ring
The shocking thing about Jeremy lin was that he was a fringe NBA player and carried the Knicks for a few weeks and was a solid scoring guard for the rest of his career after almost not being in the NBA.

There is definitely a lot of players who resented the attention Lin received, and they did everything they could do to downplay his game. If Shaq was being honest, he would also add that Lin was never truly given a fair opportunity once he left the Knicks. He still managed to shine during moments, but he was often boxed out by his own teammates in Houston and L.A.
Harden practically ignored him, and Kobe was never really open to having Lin as a teammate. He was taken out of the lineup during major moments in the playoffs when he was in Houston. The only person who truly believed in him was Mike Dantoni.
Not surprising to see people like Shaq still taking shots at him. Even the other people on the panel were like "Why you bringing him up?"
Ben Simmons is basically a BUM, and a much better example to use in this situation. Lin worked extremely hard, and was a straight up baller. He doesn't deserve this garbage.
Amare and a lot of other dudes liked Lin, even Kobe came to like him before he retired so it's not all bleak at least.
Lin was no all star but he was unlucky. After his 2 week stint, the game plan changed with Melo back. D Antonio works wonders with a guard focused offense and heavy iso Melo returned and changed that. When Lin got overpaid to go to Houston, he probably thought he would be able to get his touch back but then they got Harden and that basically ended his rise. He became a decent role player but injuries cut his career short. Athletic slashers do not last long in the league. He lost his athleticism due to injuries and was never good defensively. He still lasted 9 years in the league which is amazing for an undrafted player.
Glad that you noticed that, about his slashing. I have observed & commented about that over the years. A car crash is bound to happen when there are too many cars on the free-way. Or in this case, on or near the free-throw area. Knocked knees indeed. But yes, everywhere he went, he was eventually put in the background, once another guard is told to take over. Lin had been good as long as he is the primary floor general. A lot of that has to do with confidence, which is a sports stat/metric that cannot be measured. He was pretty good in Houston though before Harden came aboard, including tying his 38-point record from NY. Or also had played well when he was alongside Harden many times. Houston could have won post-season against the Blazers in 2014 if he had not been set out by coach, because Lin was a good defender against a still-rookie Lillard. But that's hindsight for you.
Not hating on your comment but a common misconception of Jeremy lin weakness was defense. He had a career defensive rating of 108 and in 2015-2016 season he ranked #2 point guard in blocks per 36 min only behind john wall. Google his defensive ability heâs a lot better than people think. Itâs just bias and racism cause heâs Asian. But stats donât lie.
I thought Dwight Howard was the only one living rent free in Shaqs big ol headđ .. Jeremy Lin bed spacing there too..?đ
Javale McGee
considering all 3 are champions now, maybe it's not so bad for shaq to hate on you lol.
I mean, he's not wrong but godamn, why is Jeremy Lin catching strays?đ
he was good for 2 weeks - that means nothing.
He is wrong lmao why is he even comparing a number one pick to an undrafted player who had one of the best sports stories in the last 15 years
And bro Jlins career went down hill not because he wasnât capable of being a 20ppg scorer. He went to the rockets where he was around ball dominant , iso ball harden.
@@ZjZadethat means nothing? When did you have a two week stretch where you ran the NBA?
@@ZjZade JLin was good a majority of his career, he was GREAT for a month don't disrespect a dude you didn't pay attention to until the media talked about him
Lin actually had a good career during his run in the NBA, the injury was too much for him. He did well with the teams he played for except for the Lakers. Knicks Linsanity, Rockets had a good run with him, Lakers strategy was tanking, he was extremely matured playing for the Hornets, bad luck during his Nets time, was coming back greatly with the Hawks which lead the Raptors to sign him and got his ring though he sat on the bench most of the time. Lin's resume looks fairly nice compare to most of the players.
I am a JLin fan, but 2 things I did not like was ...
1. He often relied too much on his faith, which I think might have made him a little too "soft" &
2. He became too much of a journeyman. I think he should have stayed in Charlotte for at least another year or 2, or more, as he was given that choice to stay, partly because you cannot beat being associated with Michael Jordan there & Lin has said that the Hornets was his most fun time.
So, I think he was always looking for something on the horizon & not satisfied with what he already had. He should have also stayed in NY rather than taking that poison pill, but maybe I suppose that Knicks scenario for a 2nd season was already doomed because D'Antonio was already pushed out (by Melo) & Amare also had some issues with Melo, not to mention that with Melo in the rotation, there would be more iso-ball rather than team-ball which JLin became known for, because the team was already tanking before the discovery of Linsanity.
â@@robwebnoid5763 If you think he's soft you're not a fan hahahahha. There's an ESPN segment and compilation and a youtube compilation of how JLin takes hits and not falter at all. He even took shots from Tyson Chandler after he was traded to the Rockets . Knicks vs Rockets. and I'm not a very religious person but If everyone gives up on you , you always hold on to your faith and family.
â@@gt8932 ... In any physically-demanding sport, including basketball, you can take any hit as part of the game. Or as fouls, which is a violation of the game. What happened with Lin is that he took too many hits without fighting back on some occasion as a natural response, whether the hits were deemed fouls or not. Clapping back on hard hits, foul or not, flagrant or not, has happened with other players over the years & we accept that reaction as fans because we felt it as a just reaction, just as the one clapping back also feels it was also a fair reaction. For Lin, the religion could partly be a reason of not fighting back, although not the entire reason. His Asian family & ancient/traditional cultural values would be another part of it. I'm going to make a hard guess that you won't/don't see much fighting in professional basketball in Asia, such as in the CBA, as more frequently as we've seen in NBA & ABA history. Maybe even in football (soccer) as much as we've seen fighting between athletes & between fans in pro leagues in Europe, Russia & entire continent of America. I'm sure there are some fights in Asia, just less frequent. Again, I'm making a guess & that culture is part of the reason it is less frequent.
And as many people have witnessed over the years, there was this overall feeling that referees missed a lot of hard fouls happening on Lin. I believe there was even a video compilation on that, iirc. And not just by Chandler, but also by Melo, Kobe, Aldridge, etc. While it is admirable to not falter on faith & culture, it could also lead to a path that you may not want if you lean on it too much. I believe that happened to Lin & yet for years he did not accept the fact his faith might have helped contributed to him eventually getting pushed out of the league, who knows. And he tried to return in 2020 but instead they put him into the minors. Imagine that, a decade-long veteran is put into the minors. And not just any veteran, it was one that made historical impact. The NBA might have missed out on an opportunity placing him back with his former majors team, which included reuniting with former teammate Steph, if not just for becoming a possible dual or triple shooting threat, but also for marketing hype, in a time/era when the Splash Bros was happening, just as the hype of Linsanity itself set the world, not just NY & the US, on fire. And it was also his hometown/region to top it off. Sure, his stats failed him along the years, but I think a part of that was the fading confidence in himself. The clapback from critics on him winning the championship in Toronto, criticizing him of practically not playing, pushed him over the edge. In the 75 years of the NBA, no one has focused on a player with a magnifying glass, for not playing but still getting a trophy, more than they had on Lin. That confidence could have returned if he was put on a winning team. We saw him become a top player in the nba minors, so he could have gotten better in the majors. Yes, injury has hampered him (including his back issues), but re-instilling confidence could have helped overcome some of that if put on a winning team.
Anyway, sadly none of that potential happened returning to his hometown team in 2020 & many people feel he was done dirty again. It's a huge possibility he may never return now, as age is now a detriment, & that he has already accepted that fate, as he currently plays overseas. And maybe he now most likely accepts it the will of the creator. At least he is with his "people" at the moment, where there is much much less racial discrimination, which happened in his own country he was born in. But he can still possibly return as an NBA coach sometime in the future. Another potential but unknown outcome that is possible by divine providence. To which he could possibly coach a team to a Finals & maybe even win it. We already saw him on some occasions with the coaching clipboard during timeouts, such as in Houston etc. Perhaps a sign of things to come? Becoming a winning NBA coach could be God's way of redemption for him, a Linsanity 2.0 of sorts. But yeah, I am indeed a fan & you can sometimes have the freedom of criticizing some actions of ones you admire. :)
Love this analysis!
â@@robwebnoid5763 Bro CBA actually has more fights than NBA, and there are more real fights. Nowadays NBA become softer, players would get T by just staring at someone. They don't really fight each other, they just pretend to. CBA refs brow fewer whistles just like the 90s NBA, and they play more physically because they have size but less skill. It's nothing related to culture. If you watched Lin play in CBA, Lin got the same hard fouls as NBA before. Just because the Chinese players thought Lin was Asian like them, they wanted to prove that they were as good as Lin, and that's why they played Lin more physically.

You make a good point. Shaq should not have used Lin as an example. Jeremy had a great ride...and in my opinion, should have remained in the NBA longer. In this case, Shaq could have used Kawhi Leonard (for example) who sits out games all the time. But maybe itÂŽs easier to go after Lin. In todays NBA, there are simply not many GREAT players.

The difference between Ben Simmons and Jeremy Lin is that one was a number pick and has a guaranteed contract for 154million while the other was an underdog that got some minutes and balled out. He also has a ring so that already destroys most of Shaqâs arguments on most players he hates on.
Shaq missed the whole point of Lin's rise to fame. He was an undrafted kid who came out of nowhere and took the league by storm for a short time and managed to hang around for a while. He wasn't expected to be the go-to guy who had an unexpected decline.
I understand Shaquille O'Neal take but to go out of his way to name drop linsanity when his point was already clear was just mean spirited cmon now
You can appreciate greatness without hating on who you deem had failed in reaching greatness
Unless it's a Ben Simmons case in which it's his own fault that he failed
So we can clown Ben but not Lin got it
Why not
@@BoosterGoldEarth6 Yes you can clown ben dude had no work ethic. Jeremy LIn on the other hand you cant clown he was injury prone which is uncontrollable.
Well Put Sir. :) :) :)
â@@BoosterGoldEarth6đ đđđit's racist to clown Asians when clearly Simmons has black in him. So apparently its fair to clown Simmons. These fans are disgusting and don't even know it.
Idk but that Jeremy Lin Documentary on Prime literally made me shed tears. Fantastic story.
You're not alone
I bet all the asians cried over him
JLin is undrafted, Ant is a 1st pick. Horrible take. Plus, JLin was a really solid role player for most of the teams he was in
Why did he do Lin like thatâŠđđ
Because he was a high risk, one week long reward player. Iâm Chinese and even I knew Lin wasnât good the moment I saw him play. His ball IQ is weak.
â@@pichaelthompsonwhat??? U serious?
@@pichaelthompson I wouldn't say his I.Q was lacking, the bigger sore points of his game were that he wasn't ambidextrous, he wasn't a good defender, and he wasn't a fantastic shooter. But he definitely had a good I.Q and wanted to get everyone involved.
@@pichaelthompson cnm shabi ni ma si le
Lin had a good story coming from where he came from. Not too many players who come from Harvard make the NBA. Let alone garner a buzz
Jeremy Lin got a Ring - nuff said! He put in the work over the years and he is a champion! Gotta at least put some respect on Lin's name!
Y'all put that man on Sports Illustrated! đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł Shaq a fool! đđđ
he was the best player in the league for a solid 2 weeks after literally being 1 game away from gettin cut. just say yall don't know linsanity
@@yadig876 LMAO there's tons of players who have had 2 or 3 week stretches of being amazing it's nothing special.
@@joshuafult84 "tons of players, nothing special" *ignores response and doesn't link a single player*
Jeremy Lin should be in the league right now, and the same goes for IT and Carmelo Anthony. If Udonis Haslem can make a roster simply for being a vet, then these 3 should make a roster. They can definitely still produce off the bench.
IT is inefficiently trash
@@NevaSellmySoul 5'8 avg almost 30 in the playoffs is Trash? You DEFINETELY dont watch basketball, prolly just seen a Hatin azz CLICKBAIT YT vid of how "SOandSO FELL-OFF" huh?!
đ€Ł shut th up kid
You can't compare them to Haslem. His roster spot has nothing to do with his ability to play. He is a part of Heat culture. Melo, IT. Lin are not that for anyone. I think Lin could still play in this league that George Hill is still playing in though
@@KendySeuss I mean to my knowledge unless the last year has changed anything Lin has the highest skillset he's ever had and due to his size and frame hasn't lost any step. I believe he even fixed his ability to only drive and create on one side of the floor. I don't know how he's done on jump shooting but I know his ability to be a pass first, driving pg has improved greatly
@@EricC9 he was in the G League tearing them up. The league just seems to not want him for whatever reason
Can we have the usual crew

This is the usual Tuesday crew, bro.
Lin didn't get the chance.
3:02 Youâre welcome
Jeremy Lin has shown greatness throughout his career. High school: championship. Harvard: amazing winning season. Knicks: linsanity. Rockets: playoffs. Charlotte: playoffs. Toronto: Championship. Asia: killing it
Lin was a good basketball player. No way Jeremy should have not been picked up by a team.
Jeremy Lin was blackballed man, he can be great if only they gave him an opportunity.
Jeremy Lin became a New York legend in that 20 game stretch. He was amazing he even beat Kobe
Then he disappeared so Shaq is right.
@@kuunami he wasn't a star but he was a good player, he declined badly after the injuries
â@@TheVegoran so... Shaq is right???
@@klariskb4497 he lasted a good whole in the nba and he wasn't even considered a great player by anyone... he just had a very hype story that got attention. I think the hate from Shaq is wrong
â@@klariskb4497 nope, shaq is wrong for the hate on Jeremy, He was consistent when he had the opportunity, but when Carmelo came back, he was jealous of the attention Jeremy was taking and wanted him out of the rotation, so that's why he disappeared, not because he was a bad player, he was just average but was not given the right opportunity by the coaches, he was not a star, he just made good with the opportunity given to him. Shaq's point was about being a star not just for a short time but for a long time is more of a Ben Simmons type of story than a Jeremy Lin. His hate is misplaced. Ben was placed and expected to be a star for a long time but faded quickly.
Though Lin didn't get it done, his journey should garner more respect. It should be noted, he also went to Harden, who scuttled him as badly as Melo did. Then he got injured. Shaq being a bully again, as often happens. It's crazy because he really shouldn't have such a big chip on his shoulder about this stuff.
I fully agree with your comment. Lin was a one hit wonder, agree, but calling him out without considering all the circumstances he faced was not right. Racism at its best right there. Just another asian playin ball in the nba.
Ask javale ... lost millions cuz of shaqtin bully the fool.
Mannn why they put candance head on Dwight Howard shoulders? đđđ
Boy you outta pocket đđđ
ALDI version of Inside the NBA
More like flea market version...
jeremy lin has been playing great last few years
Lin got hoed for no reason, if they had built that New York team around him he couldâve average easily 23 pts and 7 assists they traded him and bounced him around to teams with selfish players.
I've always said that in NY, Lin would have put up 18-20ppgs and 8-10 dimes for a few yrs. I still can't forgive the Knicks for not matching.
WTF Lin is living his best life right now and you still take a dig. This panel is just lifeless and has no chemistry. Shaq doesn't even look like he wants to be there and annoyed
Yâall need to put shag back with Charles and Kenny!!
Lins story was special because it was a Cinderella story. Remeber he was on a 10-day nba contract and was proabably going to get cut the next day but blew up on some garbage minutes, and then sustained that for a couple weeks. He made everyone around him significantly better too, and the whole squad played special those two weeks. He would later go on to have a very average NBA career and clearly still belonged in the league, as he was putting up major numbers in the G league. So what happened to him? He got black balled.
we all know why jeremy lin's career was stunted
Because he wasn't good
When Lin secured the starting point guard in Brooklyn he was on his way to making his mark in the league but he tore up his knee on opening nignt that's what change his trajectory, not surprising Shaq doesn't know this.
YEP!!!! THIS the comment I was looking for! THis was 4 yrs after Linsanity too. First year in BK, when he did play was very on-point, then those Hamstring injuries, THEN that 2nd yr, that devestating injury ended him.... But, then, this was Lin's absolute prime, when he went to BK. He was actually WAAAAAAAY better in 2016 when he signed with the Nets than the Linsanity Weeks... Many seems like they don't know this!
Jeremy Lin couldn't catch a break
Lin was undrafted no one ever said the guy was a superstar, he had a very good career based on where he came from
What an absurd take. Shaq is getting worse and worse.
Not an absurd take at all.. He had a Great short period in 2011 in knicks and that's it.. Since the he was passed around teams like a cheap slut.
Whatâs wrong with the truth
@@turtleneckboymyguy1142 Jeremy Lin had an above average 2 week stretch. Ant is number 1 pick who is expected to be good and is doing good.
@@FireWeezyMarshall I think what he was tryna say is you canât call Ant great yet bc he hasnât done this for multiple seasons yet⊠he was just sayin Jeremy was called great prematurely as an example imo
Not a fan of Shaq sometimes, but the logic here is completely sound. Please feel free to share what you find so "absurd"
Thinking more about this take from Shaq and I actually understand why he feels the way he does. Shaq is defending his own definition of greatness - those that perform at the top of their field consistently year after year. I can respect that he only comprehends his own narrow definition of the word.
The thing is, for many of us, greatness isn't always defined in such a narrow sense. For athletes like Shaq that were BORN with natural gifts that lend themselves to excel in a given sport, then Shaq's own definition of greatness actually makes sense. If you're 7'1" and 325 lbs if you're failing to exceed above the rest of the field consistently then you're certainly not going to be considered a great but rather a disappointment because that same crutch that you're able to lean on in terms of your physical gifts are also setting an expectation for you to meet.
Not all athletes are born with extraordinary gifts like Shaq however. Many athletes have to compensate through nothing but hard work because they have nothing else going for them. This is where a more nuanced definition of greatness arises. A definition that the rest of us can see as spectators as greatness in a more relatable sense. As spectators there is something incredibly special about witnessing someone go above and beyond when there is no expectation set for them. We can't relate to first round draft picks but we can relate to undrafted players, players that are fighting to even make the roster. When players like this play the way Jeremy Lin did, they're great.
The worst is making up stats. First player with two left handed assists in the 3rd quarter while down in conference standings but up in the game
I love how there are custom foot risers for everyone so that Shaq can fit under the table lol
Lmao I was wondering why they had foot risers
There's no question that Anthony Edwards is a super star đ« he's been great since last season.
Lins entire career is better than Simmons đ€·ââïž
Nope. Simmons got Rookie of the Year and helped get his team to the Eastern Conference Finals. Lin didn't even play a part on the Raptors in 2019 lmaooo
@@joshuafult84 Good one, but Lin did get a job to be the main PG from the Nets 4 yrs after Linsanity...Let's see who will give Simmons this... So you wouldn't take Linsanity Lin - NJ Lin which was right at his prime over the Simmons you've see the past yr? lol.
If it wasnât to Carmelo he still would probably be in the league
lin was a guy who wasnât even supposed to make headlines. there were no expectations outta him which is what made his lightning in a bottle moment so gr8. after his time in Houston i donât think anyone shouldâve been carrying the notion that he shouldâve been anything other than what he was, a decent role player that managed about 9 years in the league, which is a lot better than what others were able to do or what was expected of him. in any case ant was a first overall pick⊠heâs already put together some decent seasons where heâs showing improvement n thatâs enough to be hopeful he will keep making that jump towards superstardom. i hate bringing simmons up but he woulda been a better example, a guy who produced well as he came into the league with high expectations but we never got to see that jump.
Lin never got that green light again and was always hurt but still a great story for a solid month he was the best player in the nba lol
Yeah.. crazy he was scoring avg over kobe for #1 in those weeks then got tossed aside when melo couldn't just watch anymore lol.
People always want to hate on Lin but he had a good career. He played 10 seasons in the nba where the average player only last 4-5 seasons., He has a career average of double digits and won a championship. So many players donât achieve even half of what heâs done.
Shaqs best friend's with Yao so those anti Asian hate comments are weird. He just thought Lin couldn't continue scoring 20( avg 30 in February it seemed like) points the way he did in new York. Imo Lin would thrive in the current league, new York simply never took a shot with Jeremy and he bounced to different teams. Jeremy Lin was a good point guard, played 20-30 minutes before injuries took a toll on him. Avg about 10-18 points his entire NBA career( estimating) and gave solid/ good enough point guard minutes. The fact that Jeremy Lin was on a NBA teammate's couch before he made his millions is one of the greatest Asian stories ever. Shaq has a weird respectable opinion. Jeremy was good enough on the hornets/ nets before injuries plagued him.
You are being sensitive nothing shaq said was anti asian all he said was lin was a one-season wonder just like IT
Iâm sure Lin must be crying and using his RING to wipe his tears ! Well deserved salute to Lin !
Jeremy Lin was a good player even though heâs had a very short career heâs still respected for what he did.
9 years
9 years ain't short good sir.
From undrafted to a NBA champion Linsanity had a successful NBA career
Jeremy Lin was a really good player.
For 20 games
I wish Chuck was here. He would have put Shaq in his place.
Shaq isnât as genuine and real as he says he is. Even all this talk about him being from the âhoodâ and supporting black, itâs all a façade he just does it for the praise. Heâs a hater and now i see why Kobe wasnât ever really close with him even post career.
Jeremy Lin gets so much hate for no reason.
Shaq's been following TW basketball wayyyy too much lol.
Jeremy Lin living rent free in Shaqs head
Things just feel too forced with this crew imo. Could be just me tho
It low key feels like Lefkoe tries too hard to be the cool white guy like EJ. It could just be me, but I get what you mean
Weird comparison. Itâs almost like he had to think of someone who wasnât black.
Jeremy Lin all dayâïž
I mean Lin was forced out of NY cause Melo's ego was hurt and then played next to Kobe and Harden, 2 of the most ball dominant guards in history. Then he played next to Kemba, another ball dominant guard and when he was finally putting up an all-star season in Brooklyn, Melo literally injured him for the rest of the season.
Really feel like shaq donât like Asians unless they earn his respect lmao like Yao
Same. Itâs obvious hesâŠ
It got so quiet when he said Jeremy Lin
