    Damn, congrats Lin

    Very few people stick to what they say they want to achieve. Every player talks about wanting to win a championship including Lin but very few can execute it like Lin.

    Every bench player celebrated every year. Nothing to do with being shameless they're just hapoy they won. Scalabrine 'celebrated' too aint nobody saud nothing. Y'all want him to be sad for winning a championship? Haha

    Lol celebrating = 'speaks volume about character'. You gonna say the same thing for every other player who celebrated but didnt play? Ive never seen someone mad or not happy about winning a championship.

    Except I dont see other scrubs that were glued to the bench, turning it into some greater victory for their race , or mankind, or whatever else. Celebrating with the team is one thing. There is no shame in that.

    However, guy's greatest accomplishment during the run was to NOT get on the floor, but then he managed to make it into a "victory" for Asian Americans. Seriously, the scrub couldnt even sniff a single meaningful minute during the entire playoff run and he thinks Asian American should be proud of him??? Hahahaha

    Imagine Patrick McCaw himself tweeting how his High School Monstrose Christian should be proud because they produced an NBA player that won 3peat NBA ring!

    So, Yes, it was so shameless, even by Airemy's standards, that I had to do a double take to make sure it was actually him writing that.

    NBA fans making jokes and sarcastic posts is one thing but this dude is actually serious!!!

    LOL!

    If I were an Asian American and his fan, I would be embarrassed by that post of his. But I am not surprised that you dont get it haha.

    Well, technically true, but probably not what Jeremy meant. He most likely prefers that all 3 things happen at the same time rather than separately.

    Anyhow, after two injury-riddled seasons, he never quite regained his athleticism-- and lost his jump shot after the trade. Will likely get a flyer at minimum wage or not much more than that next year. But making $12million, plus freeloading his way to a ring, ain't bad.

    Thus the duality of winning a championship ring. All this proves is that you can be one of the greatest NBA player ever and not have anything to show for it (Tracy McGrady). And you can be an afterthought on a winning team and win a gold medal (Christian Laettner).

    So he’s on the Toronto Raptors
    What about the Asian Canadians?

    What this is really about his double downing on that his mission is from god for the good of all Asian Americans while he’s just doing it for publicity to get his brand, ego and money up

    But his fans are so devoted like heroine addicts they’ll shoot up everything he says

    I don’t think even Tmac would be this shameless
    At least Tmac is honest , he’s really trying to win for himself

    Lin doesn’t give two poops about Toronto

    Look like Lin won’t be returning to Toronto.

    Just curious - if we don’t get Rivers back, would you be OK if we offer him a minimum contract

    He wasn’t getting any playing time with Toronto
    That’s not a good sign
    Get VanVleet

    Yes Jeremy, but we didn't know you meant that you'll win a championship as the culturally diverse model they insert into stock photos of the Larry O'Brien trophy.

    CONgrats to Jeremy

    This will be good for him. Not many players get a chance to be part of a championship team/culture. A lot can be learned from it

    He could be a good NBA coach one day
