Pretty serious implications levied against NBA in regards to Jeremy Lin

Part of me is sympathetic. You could easily compile a similar video for Lillard.

Another part of me is saying that yes there is definite racism. Compare Lin's player ranking vs. his all-star votes, and racism is very clear.

Yes I saw that, any post that isn't supporting Lin gets downvoted to shit.

I read but don't post on reddit because its a huge circle jerk. Have a different opinion? Sorry, downvoted to shit and no one will ever read it.

So. It's sort of like having a speech at public university that the well scrubbed masses (read mob) don't agree with?

"LOF"s as they called them. They also follow Lin where ever he goes. Lakersground was fun to read last year. The Hornets don't really have enough of an internet fanbase to annoy.

I think most of the fobs became Warriors fans.
 
It has nothing to do with racism...its about what teams the NBA wants to win and lose on any given day...its teamism
 
I really like Jeremy Lin and pull for him in almost every regard. And I really didn't know much about him till I saw that 'Linsanity' documentary. I could easily see why there might be a disconnect between him and other players in the league. But I don't think it's open season him to maim him or anything. You go to the hoop and your going to eat wood, sometimes. Maybe other players think he gets too much hype and just sells a lot T-shirts...... who knows?
 
I don't know if it's racism but those are awful fouls, esp the Kobe and Melo ones. Damn.
 
The other players are being nice. Hitting him in the junk enough to cause swelling, that's being nice.
 
If you don't think Jeremy Lin travel on that play, you've never called travel on anyone. Point Blank you may not take two steps and then put the ball on the floor. He clearly took two steps before dribbling and that's an automatic travel.
 
Thanks for reminding me why I don't go to reddit.

Actually I'm surprised you go there as somebody who is so Anti-PC or however you want to put it.

It's just proof that while a game is going on, nobody pays attention to Jeremy Lin except one dude who bought his jersey and had a meltdown over a call

Yeah that Carmelo Anthony foul was pretty bad 2. Certainly should have been reviewed. But racism?? No, what's racist is to call them:



That's definitely a racial slur...

It's ok I'm an oriental. It's our word.

As he receives the ball, his left foot is down and his right foot is already in the air.

When he releases the ball to dribble, his right foot is down and his left foot is in the air. (screen cap shows ball almost on the floor and left foot hasn't hit floor yet).

How is that two steps before he dribbles?

Look at your pictures and tell me that's how that's humanly possible. How he can have the same feet in the same position on two different spots on the floor. You have to take two steps to get from picture 1 - picture 2.

Are you saying he didn't move his right foot to get to picture number 2? Yeah you show me any person that can do that. He took two steps and put the ball on the floor. After establishing your pivot foot you may not lift it to dribble. He established his pivot foot when he received the ball and his left foot was down. You may not lift that foot to dribble. You can lift it, however, you may only lift to shoot or pass.

Pic 1 shows the placement of his left foot about 2 feet behind the arc, while his right foot is in the air.
Pic 2 shows that with ONE step, he placed his right foot about 2 feet past the three point arc.
He releases his dribble before he completes a second step--before his left foot hits the floor again.

So, the problem is not that he "takes two steps" as you stated before, but that he lifts his left foot before he dribbles. Those are two completely different statements.

This is key. When you take possession of the ball, whichever foot is down is your pivot foot. If both are down at the same time, you can choose whichever foot to be your pivot foot. But since his left foot is down that's the one that may not be lifted unless he wants to shoot or pass directly afterward.

Establishing your pivot foot counts as one step. He did take two steps.

No wonder you say it's impossible for us laymen to interpret the rule book. We've already taken a step the moment we touch the ball? That's silly. But, them's the rules, I guess.
