Jeremy Lin

And how can Trent get into the NBa with an ugly shot is a simple answer. More to the game then just being able to shoot, intangibles. Some players have them and some don't. If it was just about shooting Kyle Korver would be a Hall of Famer

Let's also not forget it wasn't a white player who called him that. It's basically ok to be racist against anyone but black people and call me naive but racism is wrong no matter who it is.

I would use a different word to describe you than “naive.”

Actually we don’t it’s never ok for anyone to be racist to anyone else - it’s like when Delonte west called Hayward a white boi ***** it’s not ok. Period. But it seems like your suggesting saying white boy is the same as a white guy calling a black man the N word and it’s not the same. It’s not ok whatsoever either way but it’s not the same. White boy was never a reference to a white slave the N word was and much worse.

How is he the one who is shattered shouldn’t people NOT call him coronavirus? You’re siding with the bullies here.

It happened. I found it hypocritical because it was a black player who called him that.

I ain't siding with no one. It was said tongue and cheek. Linsanity will survive inappropriate comments.

Here we go again. Yes, we all get it. There is a line. Dont cross it. Let's not make this the next racism rant post. If you want to go there go pull up one of the other 12 and read them passionately and feel better. This Jazzfanz forum is not the place to debate racism or not racism and all that.

Jeremy Lin is not the answer. And don't call him coronavirus.

In other news, Conley is a possibility for tonight's game. Thats good.

I seriously doubt Mike and Don's injuries are serious. They're just taking precautions. No way Trent gets minutes unless they get reinjured. Actually, he's not too bad, just can't shoot. What an ugly shot. How can someone get into the NBA with an outside shot like that?

That was one of the criticisms Stockton got when he had to take over for an injured Ricky Green.

Ok so just to sum up what you’re saying I don’t want to misquote you - Lin, who was born in California, should be held to a different standard because he was injured. So injured players should be ok with being called racial slurs and he’ll survive? So Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley should also be treated this way and if they say anything they’ll live?

Not close to what I said. I'm done here. You should be as well.
